GREAT LOOKING WHITE LABEL PROMO COPY IN GREAT SHAPE. ORIGINAL APOLLO SLEEVE INCLUDED.

This record has been in my personal collection for many years, and is now up for AUCTION.
CONDITION: VG++ EXCELLENT COPY, ALMOST MINT MINUS

This record is absolutely original, not a repro or reissue.


Standard 45 RPM Grading:
M-   Mint Minus.   Highest grade used. Has full or nearly full luster. Little or no sign of play or handling. Highly desirable condition.
VG++   Very Good Plus Plus.   Most luster remains. Some indications of careful play. Mild groove wear, perhaps a few very light scuffs or scratches.  Very desirable condition.
VG+   Very Good Plus.   Still some luster. Shows moderate groove wear.  May have minor scuffs and / or scratches not felt by touch. Still a very nice "above average" used record, acceptable to most collectors.
VG    Very Good.    Obvious groove wear with mostly, or fully grey grooves. May have scuffs and/or scratches of an "average" used record. Often plays better than it looks.
V-    Very Good Minus. Record shows heavy use, deeper grey, more scuffs and scratches. Plays with more surface noise but should play through.
G   Good. A beat record that could easily skip, looks bad and is noisy.
