This item belonged to a former employee of the Columbia Records pressing plant in Terre Haute, IN. From 1962-1972, she horded thousands of 45s (and hundreds of sleeves) from the plant directly into the basement of her home. Most of them are unplayed, although an occasional one I have come across suffers from some of the effects of long-term storage wear.
If I do not list the visual grade for a record, this means the record's visual grade does not differ significantly from the play grade. Play grade definitions: NM (near mint) -- little or no surface noise; VG+ (very good plus) -- surface noise, but does not interfere with the enjoyment of the track; VG (very good) -- surface noise noticeable and whether or not it interferes with the enjoyment of the track depends on your level of tolerance. G (good) -- noticeable surface noise, at least some of which interferes with the enjoyment of the song.
Please e-mail me if you have any questions. Thanks for looking.
