YOU ARE BIDDING ON AN EXCELLENT TO NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION THE BELL HOPS 45 RPM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE / IT WOULD TAKE A MILLION YEARS DECCA 48208 VERY RARE DOO WOP 45. (Vinyl looks and plays FANTASTIC, very, very small superficial marks on vinyl that do not affect play, and barely noticeable, see pics). GLOSS IS AMAZING!!! (Machine-Stamped in DEADWAX are 45W 80622 2 & 45W 80623 1).
* I have collected many 45’s, most since the late 50’s thru early-mid 60’s. My collection includes thousands of 45 rpm records, many are VG+ to EX and several are in EX to NM- Condition. I recently turned 79 years old and my son has convinced me to start selling and start traveling. When I purchased or acquired them back then, I truly believed most were original pressings. I have kept the best care of them I could. Please look at the pictures for details. You can see how well kept the vinyl and labels are for being over 60 years old. I am not trying to fool anyone, I am not a Vinyl Expert. I describe the 45 Vinyl to the best of my ability based on Price Guide grading.
The 45’s are both machine stamped and etched, which are originals. I learned that not all record companies used a machine stamp back in the day. Many were etched as well and this is a big issue I have heard about from eBayers. However, you can check with Wikipedia and many others Professional Vinyl Guides and Info that will tell you is the same. I have many absolute Originals from the 1st Pressing and they have Etched Numbers and some are Machine Stamped, just an FYI.price rating
