Welcome to my auction!!
THIS WEEK: 60’s/70’s ROCK LP COLLECTION…
You are looking at Big Star’s debut LP titled “#1 Record”. This is the TRUE 1st pressing on the Ardent Record label. 1st pressing indicated by “Big inscribed in a Star” in deadwax in side 1 and “Saturn and star” inscribed in the deadwax on side 2. Also the cover is original indicated by the address on the bottom right back cover (no mention of Concord Records). This is extremely rare to find this 1st pressing of this album and in this condition!
RECORD GRADE (Visual grade/Play grade): The LP is visually graded at EX. This LP is in beautiful condition considering the rarity of it. Vinyl is shiny with a some superficial markings/scratches on either side that DNAP. You won’t find a better looking example of this record. Play grade is EX. Absolutely wonderful and clear sounding LP with minimal interference.
COVER GRADE: EX.
This rare laminated cover is typically found with a promo hole punch out of some sort. This does not have any punch outs or holes. I’m addition, minimal shelf wear is evident along with a couple of creases. Lamination looks good and strong. The rear slick is lifting slightly toward bottom left (see pic). Spine and seams are strong with minimal wear. Some minor wear to corners. No splits! (See pix). You won’t find a better cover for this LP!
GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT (M): Sealed record. I will never grade anything as mint unless it is sealed, at which time it is presumed to be mint.
NEAR MINT (NM): Typically my top grade. The record or cover will show the most minimal of wear. The record will have top gloss. The cover will be free from any ring wear, splits, or handwriting.
EXCELLENT (EX): Not quite Near Mint but a super clean, desirable record, showing a few superficial markings on the vinyl that do not affect playability and the cover free of splits, and any major ringwear.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): The record or cover will show signs of wear but no significant defects. There may be superficial markings in greater abundance, potential for minor groove wear. None of the above affecting the playability to any great detriment. Cover may show signs of more significant ringwear, minor splits or seam/spine wear.
VERY GOOD (VG): Obvious signs of wear but the record still has life in it. The scratches will be more feelable resulting in minor pops or clicks. Skipping should not occur though at this grade. The cover will show greater signs of wear, (ringwear, splits, writing).
VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-): The record or cover will show moderate to heavy wear. For a common record this would not be an acceptable grade. For an in-demand, rare record it should be considered. Skips may be present as the feelable scratches will be much more prevalent. The cover will show heavy wear.
GOOD (G): Very heavy wear. This grade would only be acceptable if the record is rare enough that you might not see another copy available for sale or it's a rare record at a low price. I will rarely sell a record at this grade
