Description

The Valtones - Have You Ever Met An Angel b/w You Belong To My Heart [7" 45 RPM Single]
Original 1956 US Pressing
Label: Gee
Catalog Number: GG-1004
Side 1 Runout (all etched): RR-3040-45 Side 2 Runout (all etched): RR-3041-45
Record Grade: G+ The record is in decent condition, especially considering its age. Either side shows numerous hairline scratches and light scuffs, but nothing deep or excessive. The record also still has some gloss, and the grooves do not appear significantly worn. Either label shows some wear, mainly along the top rim (in the black area), with a small tear on the Side B label. Overall, the disc is visually graded VG. A test play revealed some distortion, namely on the louder parts, which brings the grade down to G+. It is possible that this is due to the record being mastered "hot" and actually has nothing to do with condition, but I will downgrade it just to be safe. There were no skips or repeating grooves, and while there was some surface noise, it was not distracting. Very hard to find in any condition.
The record has been cleaned (using the Spin Clean) and placed in a new sleeve.
A cracked copy that was repaired with glue went for $128 at auction back in January, so this much cleaner (crack-free) copy is priced accordingly.
