The Tulsa, OK band Cedric on Tulsa label Derrick Records #D1887/88, "You Say You Love Her" b/w "I'm Leavin' ". This is the first record the band, soon to be renamed "Totty," made in 1970. The labels are M- with no problems or distractions; the vinyl is VG+ - to - VG++. I played both sides, and they play through nicely with no problems or surface noise. As I stated in the title description, this is an very rare 45; in fact, in the 50+ years of collecting Tulsa 45s, I know of only one other copy of this record (the Totty Brothers don't even have one!). If you want to get an idea of this band's sound and/or rarity, check their later LPs on YouTube and PopSike.

As many garage bands did to save costs, Cedric had the labels printed locally and then pasted them on their 45s after they received them from the record-pressing company. And as sometimes happened, the labels got accidently switched-around, and thus so with this record.

A STORY ON CEDRIC/TOTTY IS IN MY BOOK ON TULSA BANDS & MUSICIANS, 1955-1975, WITH AN OKLAHOMA 45rpm DISCOGRAPHY, AND AVAILABLE ON MY EBAY SITE.

PLEASE NOTE MY VISUAL RECORD GRADING SCALE:

SS (Still Sealed): Unopened, still in original shrink-wrap in original condition unless noted differently.

Mint: I do not use this grade.

NM or M- (Near Mint or Mint Minus): Almost as produced except for superficial things like paper sleeve rubs or light handling. Label will have full gloss and color as produced.

VG++ (Very Good Plus-Plus): A well-cared-for record, but the vinyl will display a few noticeable imperfections such as a few light marks or scuffs that cannot be felt to the touch. Label will also have some color and/or gloss fading or light wear; any other distractions will be noted in the label description.

VG+ (Very Good Plus): Still a well-cared-for record, vinyl has a few more noticeable imperfections than VG++ that cannot be felt to the touch. May display some original gloss. Label can show some, but not large, areas of wear; any other distractions will be noted in the label description. NOTE: this is still a very acceptable grade for most collectors.

VG (Very Good): A used but still reasonable copy. Vinyl will have several moderate and/or one or two major flaws such as scratches that can be felt to the touch, but the record will play through with some ticks and possibly other surface noise, nothing that overwhelms the sound. Label gloss may be completely gone, color fading, moderate wear, any other distractions will be noted in the label description.

VG- (Very Good Minus): Vinyl will have some major imperfections along with visible groove wear but will still play through. Label will have heavy wear, no gloss, color faded, any other distractions will be noted in the label description.

FR/PR (Fair/Poor):  A record with major problem(s). I usually do not list records in these grades unless it is a very scarce/rare record that is highly sought-after. Such a record’s condition, along with its flaws, will be described in detail.
