The Single is in Very Good to Excellent Condition, bright, shiny, clean, no scratches, scuff mark which may be inherent in the pressing, the record plays loud, clear, and present, with some dead wax lip / under the music groove sounds.  The Label is in Near Mint or better Condition.

The Gradings System is: Mint-, Near Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good. Fair.
I generally do not state Mint Condition on a record unless it meets certain high standard conditions.

Condition Distractions If Mentioned:
Light Surface Scratches, if mentioned, are light on top of the grooves somewhat like surface scuffs/surface marks that do not affect the sound, with the record playing loud and clear.
Near the Groove Light Scratches, when mentioned,  more than light surface scratches, yet not affecting play, no skipping, may cause some low sounds under the music or some light in the music ticks, plays loud and clear.
Just About At The Groove Scratches are a bit deeper than Near Groove yet still the record plays with no skipping with possibly some sounds/ticks and generally plays loud and clear, with under the music groove sounds,  usually Very Good record.

A word about certain 1950's and 1960's pressing ingredients and some small label pressings:
Many of these records are from 30 to 50 years old. They are are not digital downloads, and therefore, not clean as a whistle. Sometimes they come with their own inherent pressing oddities, sounds, and to the modern ear, possible "slight flaws" - which are not really flaws, but part of the pressing process of older, real vinyl / wax / plastic records.
Some pressings of small labels from the 1950's and 1960's and some instances 70's pressings were made with not the greatest of ingredients,  and with these inferior ingredients causing some under the music groove sound - this generally happened with small label pressings, yet the music is clear, loud, and present. Also, at times, these smaller label pressings were pressed at cheapie pressing plants or at a big plant,  but on the sly late at night without the quality control of the normal commissioned pressing,  There may also be tape hissing audible which is part of the recording/pressing.

(NOTE: If you notice the lashmi name on the image, it is just super-imposed over the on-line image, it is not on the actual label - thanks).
