Description

 

Up for bid is a very rare original pressing 45rpm record by "Mickey & Them" on Guerra Company Productions (GC-1030) out of San Antonio, Texas. Features the songs "U.F.O." and "Hey, Brother Man". "U.F.O." was featured on the Keb Darge compilation Funk Spectrum 2.

Below is Goldmine Grading Guide's definition of Good Condition (G) and Very Good Condition (VG). I'm including both because I (and a more experienced friend) feel that this record's condition falls somewhere between the two. We feel it is better than G, but can't be considered VG. More specific info on its condition is below the two definitions.

VERY GOOD or VG: The Very Good Grade does not mean Very good at all. At least not in the visual sense. A Very Good (VG) record will appear well played but still have some luster. The vinyl may be faded, slightly grayish, yet appears to have been handled as carefully as it could have been helped. Records that get continuous playing time will start to deteriorate. More and more surface scuffs and scratches, and audible sound defects WILL be heard. They should not overpower the dynamics of the music. With VG records, the surface noise will be minor crackle or a slight hiss, but should only be heard in between tracks or in low musical passages.

GOOD or G (including the G+ and VG- grades): A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some  loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches. If you can't enjoy the record, it is not no longer even good. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear.

Both sides have some shallow visible scratches. The U.F.O. side has one that is 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) long and can be felt. That being said, I played both sides through on a B&O turntable and there was not one skip. I could hear a few pops, but due to the type of music, these were very difficult to hear.

Who you buy from is as important as what you buy.
