Helloooooo baby, yeah, this is the Big Bopper speakin
hahahahahaha
Oh you sweet thing
Do I what?
Will I what?
Oh baby you know what I like!
 
Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail hanging down
A wiggle in the walk and giggle in the talk
Makes the world go round
There ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
That makes me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby that's what I like
What's that baby
But.. but...but
oh honey
But, oh baby you know what I like!
What's that honey
Pick you up at 8 and don't be late
But baby I ain't got no money honey
hahahahaha
Oh alright honey you know what I like!

 SORRY! GOT CARRIED AWAY THERE! THIS LP REALLY ROCKS!

Jiles Perry "J. P." Richardson, Jr. (October 24, 1930- February 3, 1959) also commonly known as The Big Bopper, was an American disc jockey, singer, and songwriter whose big voice and exuberant personality made him an early rock and roll star. He is best known for his recording of "Chantilly Lace". On February 3, 1959, on what has become known as The Day the Music Died, Richardson was killed in a small-plane crash in Iowa, along with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens.

CHECK OUT THE SONG LIST BELOW TO SEE THE INCREDIBLE COLLECTION OF ROCKIN' TUNES! THIS LP WILL REALLY GET YOUR FEET TAPPIN' AND YOUR HEAD BOPPIN'

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1958 MEGA RARE TRUE 1ST PRESSING! BOTH THE COVER AND LABEL READS MG-20402. THIS IS ON THE MERCURY RECORDS BLACK LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT # MG-20402. HAND ETCHED (NOT STAMPED!) IN THE DEAD WAX OF BOTH SIDES IS MG-20402 A-1 & MG-20402 B-1

 THESE ARE BECOMING EXTREMELY SCARCE AND SURE TO RISE IN VALUE I HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE DECENT ONES GO FOR WELL OVER $350.00 AND THE NRMT ONES TWICE THAT AND MORE!

THE LABELS ARE EX AS WELL, THEY ARE FREE FROM ANY WRITING STICKERS OR TAPE! THEY SHOW MINOR WEAR  AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE A LIGHT SPINDLE TRAILS AS WELL.

BASED ON THE ABOVE, THE VINYL VISUALLY GRADES EX- TO EX ALTHOUGH I HAVE PURCHASED PLENTY FROM SOME VERY REPUTABLE DEALERS HERE THAT WERE FAR WORSE AT NRMT!

THE COVER PRESENTS VERY WELL. THERE IS NO SPLITTING, TAPE OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE SEAMS ARE UN-SPLIT AND TIGHT. THE SEAMS SHOWS WEAR BUT STILL VERY STRONG. THE SPINE IS UN-SPLIT, STRONG TIGHT SHOWS WEAR BUT STILL FULLY READABLE. THERE IS ONLY VERY MINOR RING/SHELF WEAR EVIDENT MOSTLY TO THE REVERSE SIDE SIDE AS SHOWN. THERE ARE SOME CORNER DINGS/CREASES/SOILING/STAINING AS SHOWN.

THE REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES ARE VERY INFORMATIVE, CLEAN AND PERFECTLY READABLE & LIGHTLY SOILED . THERE WAS SOME DOODLING DONE BY A PREVIOUS OWNER ON THE REVERSE SIDE. LOOKS LIKE THEY COLORED IN THE OOO'S IN THE WORD HELLOOO PENCILED. ALSO SOME MARKINGS BETWEEN THE LEGS AND TRACING AROUND  THE HAT POSSIBLY IN PEN. ALSO SOME PENCILING IN THE WORD CHANTILLY. THAT BEING SAID, I FEEL THAT THE COVER STILL GRADES AS EX!

   I HAVE  PLAY GRADED THIS MOMENTS AGO AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS  AWESOME! THE FIDELITY EXCELLENT DESPITE SOME VERY MINOR BACKGROUND NOISE HERE & THERE MOSTLY NOTICEABLE BETWEEN TRACKS AND THE QUIET PASSAGES. THERE WERE SOME LIGHT TICS HERE AND THERE. I DID NOT CONSIDER THE NOISE LEVEL TO BE  OVERWHELMING  OR DISTRACTING AT ALL!

 THERE NO WERE SKIPS, STICKS, REPEATS OR LOUD OR DISTRACTING POPS, OR BURPS! OVERALL THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS VERY MUCH ENJOYABLE AND I GRADE IT NRMT- (MINUS) TO NRMT!

  OVERALL  CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE I FEEL THIS LP DESERVES A GRADE OF EXCELLENT AND WILL PROVIDE THE NEW OWNER WITH MANY YEARS OF HAPPINESS!

WE USE GOLDMINE AS GUIDELINE FOR OUR GRADING SYSTEM.

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

MINT

Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.

NEAR-MINT

NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks(from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for)The album cover will have NO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!

VG+(EXCELLENT)

VG+ records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable.

The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splits not larger than 1". Neatly taped seams of 2" or less.It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.

VG

VG Records have more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There are NO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

VG-

VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.

G/G+

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits,especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
