FROM THE WEB : 

Rodolfo "Fitto" Foster se unió a Jesús "El Niño" Pérez para formar la Orquesta Versalles en el 1979, nombre del club donde se presentaban con más frecuencia, sin embargo es el Club Candilejas, otro de los clubes donde se presentaban, el que patrocina la grabación de un disco sencillo, "Orquesta Candilejas - Me Voy Pa' Puerto Rico" en la cara A y "Todo se Derrumbó" en la cara B, para Omega Records, grabado en el 1981, la que fue la primera experiencia en los estudios de grabación para el grupo. El concepto musical creado por el arreglo que hiciera Foster al tema escrito por Emanuel fue de mucho interés para Joni Figueras de K-Tel Records quien le hizo una oferta a la Orquesta Versalles para explotar el mismo, más los compromisos contractuales de Foster con Stevie Wonder lo obligaron a declinar tal propuesta lo que a su vez forzó a K-Tel a presentarle la idea a Louie Ramírez provocando así el nacimiento de "Noche Caliente" en el 1983. Poco tiempo después Stevie Wonder disolvió todo lo concerniente a su proyecto musical "Phoenix Rising" en el que trabajaba Foster, por lo que éste recibió su primera decepción, lo que trajo como consecuencias que la Orquesta Versalles grabara su primer disco de larga duración para Profono Records (PML-90377), con el título homónimo al nombre de la orquesta, causando gran impacto con el tema de Lionel Richie, "Lady"; este álbum fue lanzado también bajo la etiqueta de Discos Orbe, "Orquesta Versalles" (OBS E - 25384). Las expectativas que tenía Foster con la casa disquera no fueron satisfechas lo que dio paso a su segunda decepción y en el 1985 comienza a usar el nombre artístico de "La Palabra".

VINYL GRADING SCALE:

Near Mint (NM) 

(Jacket) If the jacket is sealed there may be some minor corner damage from storage, it may or may not have the shrink-wrap, but the jacket itself will be in pristine condition. The corners will show very little wear (there will be no fraying) and will still be somewhat pointy to the touch. The cover will show no more than very minor dents or some single creases, no full bends that will cause multiple creases/damage. There will be no visible ring wear. No writing, rips or tears on the cover or seams. No bubbling, water/mold stains or peeling of the cover in any way. The inside of the gate-fold will be in the same condition.  Cutout bin punches, price stickers, staples would start being listed at the NM category and would be noted accordingly as they affect the jacket itself.

(LP) You should not hear any surface noise (snaps,crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips or repeats. The LP will retain that just opened appearance. There may be a surface blemish or two, but they will not have any affect on the sound. There will be no warping. There will be no major blemishes, light or deep scratches. The label will be free of writing and stains. There should be no spindle marks. 

Excellent (VG++) 

(Jacket) May or may not have shrink-wrap but the jacket itself will still be in beautiful condition. The corners will have minimal wear (no fraying).There may be minor dents and creases . Light scratches could be on the jacket, but nothing severe. Depending on age some discolor/yellowing may show, but will not be overbearing.  Ring wear should be very minimal or non-existent...no dark, full, half, or quarter rings. No writing rips or tears. No bubbling, water stains or peeling of the cover . All inner gate-folds will be in similar condition. Covers that appear NM but has a notch, Sawcut or a diagonal cut will be graded as VG++!

(LP) You should not hear any sustained surface noise (snaps,crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips or repeats. The LP will retain its most of it's glossiness and will appear like new. There may be a few surface blemishes, or a stray light scratch that may cause a moment of crackling, but nothing prolonged, and instances of this will be few. Often this will mostly occur only at the beginning of the groove on each side where the needle dropped. There will be no warping. There will be no deep scratches. There may be minor spotting or fog, but it will not affect the sound. The label will be free of writing and stains. Minimal spindle marks. 

Very Good Plus (VG+) 

(Jacket) May or may not have shrink wrap.  There may be some easier to see imperfections, though nothing that will detract from the overall appearance in a major way. The corners will have some wear and there may be the beginnings of fraying but not full on.  Some dents/creases or scratches may be noticeable, but nothing too pronounced. There could be noticeable discolor/yellowing .There may be some minor ring wear at the top and bottom; again you would have to look for it. No writing, rips or tears. Possibly some light bubbling.  No water/mold stains or peeling of the cover in any way. 

(LP) There may be some blemishes, maybe a scratch or two, but nothing too deep. It will not cause the record to skip or repeat. There will be no prolonged surface noise. There may be some minor warping but it will have no affect on the listening experience at all. Chances are there will be spindle marks. A VG+ record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. 

Very Good (VG/VG-) TO BE SOLD AS IS!!!

(Jacket) May or may not have shrink wrap.  There will be some easier to see imperfections, though nothing that will detract from the overall appearance in a major way. The corners will have some wear or fraying possibly causing seam splitting close to the seam.  There may be split seams on any side.  Usually not full side splits though.  Sometimes they may be fixed by tape, sometimes not. Some dents/creases or scratches will  be noticeable on the jacket, sometimes pronounced. Discolor and yellowing can be commonplace, as are smaller water/mold stains and some bubbling. There maybe a smaller tear on the cover, but nothing overly pronounced. Ring wear will certainly be pronounced. There may be some writing/defacing, but it will be minor. 

(LP) There will be some blemishes, and some few scratches. They should not be at the feel-able stage though. There could be a skip or repeat, but only one or two at most. More often the deeper scratches will cause more frequent and prolonged surface noise. There may be some warping but it will not cause the needle to jump. Chances are there will be spindle marks. A VG/VG- record will obviously have been played and occasionally handled roughly by the original owner.
