SMOKEY SMOTHERS & HIS ICE CREAM MEN - Black Cat Girl / Thing Ain't What They Used To Be 7"

60s (I think) R&B BLUES. RARE 1982 US SINGLE. Reissue. Factory sleeve. Vinyl looks EX, but plays with some cracklings - probably from the original record.
Sound file below contains short sound samples from both tracks.

SMOKEY SMOTHERS & HIS ICE CREAM MEN - Black Cat Girl / Thing Ain't What They Used To Be
Sound clip is taken directly from vinyl, recorded in 64 kbps. Record sounds much better!

I sell VINTAGE 7" SINGLES (50s, 60s, 70s & 80s)!!!

GRADING:

Record Grading:
M: Mint = as new, unplayed copy. I don't use this grading for 2nd hand records.
NM: Near Mint = almost as new.
EX: Excellent = near a perfect copy
VG+: Very Good Plus = the record has obviously been played many times, but despite noticeable light scratches and hairlines, record plays OK with soft cracklings.
VG: Very Good = played a lot, with surface scratches and marks, but still a good and enjoyable copy. Some louder cracklings and short noise possible.
G: Good = played a lot, with many surface scratches, plays through with ticks and noises. May also skip a bit. I usually don't sell such records, only if they are very rare and collectable.

Cover Grading:
M: Mint = as new. I don't use this grading for 2nd hand records.
NM: Near Mint = almost as new.
EX: Excellent = has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defects, may have light ringwear, pocketwear or very small writing.
VG+: Very Good Plus = may have some wear and ringwear, light folds, decent writings, a small edge split(s) or some small taping.
VG: Very Good = may have wear and ringwear, folds, writings, edge split(s) or tapings.
G: Good = may have heavy writing on, edge splits, ugly tapings or other defects. I usually don't sell such records, only if they are very rare and collectable.

I may also use plus (+) and min (-) to make grading more precise.
