DESCRIPTION: 

The first release by an obscure group from Milwaukee, WI, famous for their monstrously rare self-titled LP of sixties throwback rock. This 45 appears to predate the LP, and the tracks are not featured on it. There's a laid-back, country rock groove on the A-side, and the flip is the same track in reverse (in true '60s garage fashion)—even the label is printed in reverse! From a cache of unplayed dealer stock 45s, sampled briefly for grading purposes. This one is much rarer than their other single releases!

GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARDS


MINT (M) These are absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen.

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-) NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks.” Major factory defects also must be absent. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (EX) VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking.

VERY GOOD (VG) VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written on it or stamped a price tag on it, too.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) or Very Good Minus (VG–) The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage. A Good to VG– cover has ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing.

POOR (P) and Fair (F) Records are cracked, impossibly warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them. Covers are heavily damaged.

THANK YOU FOR BIDDING AND GOOD LUCK!
