Description
You are looking at an extremely hard to find RECORD AND PICTURE SLEEVE of ROBIN LUKE'S "EVER LOVIN'/WELL OH, WELL OH (DON'T YOU KNOW)". THIS IS THE ONLY RECORD THAT HE RELEASED ON THE DOT LABEL WITH A PICTURE SLEEVE. The record was released in 1960. The record number is 16096.
The sleeve is VG with some ring wear and 2 inch seam splits on the left side and bottom. Still a very nice copy.
The record is a super strong VG+ with only a few very tiny surface scratches that do not affect how the record plays preventing it from being a legitimate NM. The record plays very well, with no background surface noise being evident. THIS IS A SPECIAL RECORD WITH A PICTURE SLEEVE, AND VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION.
Please check out my other listings for some really neat stuff and read on to find out about my grading standards.
First a word about myself, since I think that it's important to know who you're doing business with. Although I'm relatively new to ebay, I've been a collector and part-time dealer in rock and roll records and memorabilia here in Hawaii for more than 30 years. Some of my more expensive items have sold through major auctioneering firms such as Lelands.com and It's Only Rock n Roll. I have also dealt with Butterfield and Butterfield as well as hundreds of transactions through Goldmine.
Now just a few words on record grading.
1. I personally play every record that I put up for sale. Any defect is disclosed up front so you don't get any surprises.
2. Mint: There is no such thing.
3. Near Mint (NM) or Mint-: The highest grade most reputable dealers use. Nearly perfect in every way. No wear of any type. Very few records from the 50's and 60's will meet this standard.
4. Very Good +++ : No such thing
5. Very good + (VG+): A VG+ record would be NM except for a couple of minor things. A seam split less than 1 inch, minor ring wear, light scratches or light creasing are examples. A strong VG+ record is sometimes referred to as VG++, although you're now trying to draw a very fine line between a VG++ and a NM so I generally don't use VG++.
6. Very Good or VG: shows more signs of wear. Larger seam splits (but not the entire side of the album), writing, stickers, obvious ring wear.
7. Good (G), G+, or VG- : Not necessarily bad. Just more defects. Taped seams, torn labels, heavier writing. Use as a filler until you can find a better copy.
8. Below Good: Use it as a frisbee.
