As of 1/1/2022, e-bay automatically collects sales tax for most states.  For the remaining states, sales tax is collected at the respective state rates.

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique discs, this one by  Oscar and the Majestics.

  Several unique things about this auction:  Firstly, this disc retains the original shine with a fair number of very light to light marks    grading by sight in normal room light.   I'm sure if you took this and put it under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes it less than mint.  If you're that kind of collector, let me suggest this auction is not for you. 

I don't claim this record is mint.   I took the time to play it and found the two sides to average around VG+(excellent) with some very light to light pops mostly at the beginning of each track.  The sound improved drastically after that.   I'd audibly average the two sides close to VG+(excellent).  You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the grading scale shown below. 

Secondly, at the time of this listing, no past/present sales found on e-bay!  NO COPIES FOUND FOR SALE OUT ON THE INTERNET!!!

So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price. Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!   

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.  

Please e-mail if questions.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3),  NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).  


Here is a summary of the record(s):

Artist: Oscar and the Majestics Title: House of the Rising Sun "1969" / Dawn  Record: Black vinyl with the original shine with a fair number of very light to light marks  grading by sight in normal room light.  Labels: White with black print.  No pen/pencil marks, no stickers, some spindle marks moderate general/ring wear.  Trailing wax: Side 1: "BP-200-A BP".  Side 2: "BP-200-B". Comments: I found the two sides to have some very light to light pops at the beginning of each track, but the sound improved dramatically after that.  I'd audibly average the two sides close to VG+ (excellent).  You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the grading scale shown below.  A unique addition to your 45 RPM collection. Side 1: Comments: House of the Rising Sun "1969" Some very light to light pops at the beginning (2.8), but then the sound dramatically improved, I couldn't hear anything wrong with the rest of the track.  The music was pretty loud, so it probably covered up any imperfections (3.6). Side 2: Comments: Dawn Some very light to light pops at the beginning (2.9), but then the sound dramatically improved and I could hear only some scattered very light surface noise on this instrumental track (3.4).


Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

  • NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint) 
  • 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise 
  • 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops 
  • VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective) 
  • VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise 
  • G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise 

I normally ship 7" discs in 12"x10"x3" boxes.  Weight with box is about 9 oz.  Shipping is:  $3.19 Media Rate (0-1 pounds) + $1.00 box/tape/packing  = $4.19.

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $4.19.  This includes delivery confirmation which enables you to track shipping of your package online.  Outside U.S., e-mail location to determine S/H costs prior to auction end.  Insurance / other methods of shipping cost extra.  Payment received within ten days of auction ending. Payment via Paypal preferred.
