I am selling some items like Records, CD's, DVD's, comics, trading cards and other collectibles. I have been collecting and have for over 18 Years of experience. So I have some experience and grading and selling. This week I will be listing some 1960's, 1970's, 1980's rock vintage vinyls all original unless noted. Up for bid is a 45 RPM Single From The Jimi Hendrix Experience The Wind Cries Mary 1st Pressing hard to find Promo Black And White Reprise label. 
The Jimi Hendrix Experience, 1972 1st Pressing 
Side A: REP 1118 The Wind Cries Mary (3:21) (Stereo) 
Side B: REP 1118 The Wind Cries Mary (3:21) (Mono)
Produced by Paul A. Rothchild Words & Music by The Doors
Cover; (No Cover)                                 Vinyl; (NM)
The record has some no wear its Near Mint condition but not quiet mint condition. This is the first single from The Jimi Hendrix Experience from Are You Experienced? 1967 their first album. This is a reissue of the song that was released in 1972, its a Radio Promo that has both Stereo and Mono versions part of Reprise's back to back hits. When you play it in the beginning and the end it has some light static but disappears on both sides. Other than that it has a few light scratches when you put it in the light you can see them. On the left side it has some writing on the A side witch looks like a black pen and on side B it also has some writing that looks like black sharpie, which indicates it was played and used a few times. You can really notice or you can't see it well from far away only up close doesn't look bad. It doesn't come with the original picture sleeve but a plain white sleeve. This is how it came when I bought it. I included some pictures I took and and some scans of the record so you can look close at what's printed on the label. So if you are a Hendrix fan or a vinyl collector get it while you can.  
This is my record grading standards I use, if you don't agree let me know and I will change it or give me your opinion. If you don't like my grading system then do not bid or think before bidding. When you bid like I said bid with confidence. 
RECORD GRADING GUIDELINES

FOR VINYL RECORDS:

Mint (M): Perfect. I will only use this for a brand new, sealed item. Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record. No obvious signs of wear, though there may be very slight imperfections inherent in the vinyl pressing. Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”. Very Good Plus (VG+): Record shows some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps not affecting the sound are OK. Label may have some ring wear or discoloration. Very Good (VG): Record may have some light scratches and scuffs that may affect the sound especially in softer passages of the record, but will not overpower the music. There will be no skips in the record. Very Good Minus (VG-): Record will have scratches and scuffs that will affect the sound. The noise will not detract from enjoying the record. Very old records with significant wear will be listed under this classification. There will be no skips in the record.

FOR LP COVERS & 45 & EP SLEEVES:

Mint (M): Perfect. Again…a brand new, sealed item. Near Mint (NM): No creases, folds, seam splits, or cut-out holes. Only the slightest signs of handling may be visible. Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”. Very Good Plus (VG+): Slight creases or signs of wear may be visible. May be marred by a cut-out hole or other indication that it was taken out-of-print. Very Good (VG): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible. No splits or tape. Very Good Minus (VG-): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible more so than on a VG cover. Splits or tape may be present. There may be some writing on the cover.
