Untitled Document Billie Holiday: Billie Holiday Sings 10" vinyl LP~Clef RecordsMGC-118~ 1953

 10" LP pressing on Clef Records. Research indicates that the Clef pressing is a 1953 reissue. Generic inner sleeve. Cover quite clean, no seam splits. Cover art looks like DSM, but isn't credited. Some notes on the rear cover. It's been play tested, plays through without issue, no deep scratches or scuffing. Background hiss is noticeable throughout, worse on the entry wax. Not too many pops, and still a decent listen. Could probably benefit from a real professional cleaning. Did notice some over modulation on some of the vocal and instrumental high notes, but that could be my play back system, which isn't high end audiophile.

Photos Of Record(s) Are The Actual Item(s) You Will Receive
                                  

 

Vinyl and Books are among the main items I sell online. However, at any given time I will usually offer a mix of other items such collectible ephemera, advertising, electronics, toys,small items, militaria and other vintage items. As such, I must add that I am not an expert in any one category of items I may be selling. Certainly, I know more about some items than others, and that is generally made clear in the ads. Consider the photos added to any auction or set sale as part of the description and examine them closely. Ask any pertinent questions or raise issues before bidding or purchase. Items stored in pet-free environment, but second-hand items which come from a variety of sources, usually without provenance are just that. If you have a concern upon receipt of your item, please contact me so we can resolve the issue to your 
satisfaction. Perfection is my goal, reality is the rule. Stuff does happen on occasion. 

 
Record Grading Scale:

Mint=   Flawless or Still Sealed LP. Most open pieces will never be in this condition

Near Mint = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale.
The cover will be as new, with only the most  minor signs of wear, vinyl should look like new, with perhaps a paper
mark or two.

VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a very few light surface marks,
or paper scuffs from the sleeve, nothing that should affect play quality. Equal to the Excellent grade. 

VG+ = A nice, but used record that may have a very few light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays well, and has no serious problems. Will still enhance  a collection. Perhaps some minor ring wear to the cover, small seam split, etc. 

VG = a good record with average use. This record that should still sound good when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.

VG- = a very well-worn record that should play through without skipping, and will do better until a better one comes along.
