32

Rhythm of the Rain Cascades Valiant 405 mono LP. Original pressing with purple and silver labels from 1963.

Condition - Grading is Visual Under Bright Light

The cover is a nice VG+. The front cover graphics are beautiful, vivid, and striking with some light surface wear. The corners show a touch of wear and dinging with 1/2 inch wear and cracking on the upper left corner. Seams are nice with a few spall spots of wear and no splits. The printing on the spine and top is sharp and clear.  The back cover slick shows some light surface wear but is pretty sharp and clean overall.  A pretty cover.     

LP is a solid glossy VG+ with some light sleeve wear, hairlines,  and a few light scuffs. Nothing feelable or serious on either side. Labels are beautiful with a few light marks visible under angled light. A solid example of this rare Valiant LP, definitely a few notches above average.   

Overall not perfect or NM but a nice collectable copy of a rare doo-wop LP, well above average. Check out my other auctions for more rare and interesting records. Winning auctions may be combined to save postage cost. Check out my feedback for results of recent rare record auctions.

Grading

Grading is SS (still sealed), NM, VG+, VG. The myriad of grading systems on Ebay is a good indicator of the subjective nature of grading. In my opinion NM is close to perfect with one or two very minor flaws, VG+ is above average and collectable and VG is average used condition but probably the best choice for playing. I'm a collector and try to describe LPs as accurately as possible, the way I would want them described to me. The pictures should at least give a good indication of the condition of the covers and labels. Please see my seller feedback for comments on my grading. If you don't agree with how I'm calling a record that is your privilege but with all respect please don't bid.
