Record Details and Description: The record is absolutely beautiful. The writing on the label is from a radio station DJ done in 1955. Usually I would grade this VG++ but as the surface spotless and the writing adds to the history I’ve opted for M-. Pushmarks are there and label is perfect otherwise. This is a collector record!! (There is a reflection of my hand and phone used to photograph, dark area is not on record surface)

ARTIST: Sonny Fisher

TITLE: Rockin’ Daddy/Hold Me Baby

LABEL: Starday

EDITION: Original Pressing

GRADE: M- (absolutely beautiful first pressing of this iconic 45)

PLEASE NOTE: no matter how clean the vinyl is, these are 60+ year-old records. They may play with some soft surface noise. Buy with this in mind.

Grading Scale-

(M-) My highest grade, a gem quality like new disc with full blazing gloss. Record was only played a handful of times, will show marks made by 50’s paper sleeve removal and/or slight imperfection on label. Some labels were more prone to this than others. Record was properly cleaned and stored. I do not use “Mint” for 60+ year old records. M- grade is a top collector piece.

(VG+) Can also be “VG++” in certain instances. A very clean, above average record. Will show signs of use such as minor paper sleeve scuffs and/or light ring wear. Vinyl retains the majority, if not all of its original gloss and playback is excellent. A very collectable record.

(VG) Vinyl displays more scuffs but gloss is still present. Playback still has nice fidelity. Eyelash sleeve scuffing around most of the surface. There may be some very light surface noise and/or a tick or very slight warp (should be identified in description) but plays all the way through without skips. A collectable record.

(VG-) Vinyl has scuffs all around and possible scratches (will be noted in description) but most will still have gloss left, others may not so refer to pictures. Many of these often play quite well and make acceptable options, until a better one comes along. After test play, I will note any specific issue. The disc will playback with some surface noise and/or ticks/pops. Still enjoyable player w/o skips.

(G+) Close to the same as a VG-, the playback far surpasses its looks. Label may have serious wear or tear and/or vinyl has rough edges. Still plays through w/o skips.
