     From an estate sale that offered a good selection of records from the middle 1950's, this is Charlie Feathers on Sun #231 with "A Wedding Gown of White" b/w "Defrost Your Heart".  The "Wedding Gown" side is probably in the best condition.  There is good gloss on the vinyl, there are some dimples from the pressing, some scuffs and a few surface marks that DNAP.  There is that infamous light Sun surface noise, but other than that the side plays thru nicely. On the label side of "Wedding Gown" the famous Sun push marks are very faint, a small shadow mark under the word Memphis, and the run out numbers are 45 -U -165.      On the "Defrost Your Heart" side, (the push marks can be seen clearly, one on the N in SUN, one over the H in Heart, and one over the BMI above Hi Lo Music)  The run out numbers are 45 - U - 164, and there is some ring wear on the label. There is good gloss on the vinyl, but there are some marks to the left of the label before the run out of the song and into the blank portion of the record. The scan doesn't show clearly, but there are some scuffs where the record was put in and out of the sleeve, then there are some marks like scratches or a mild stain type mark that make a line down to the run out. There are also some squiggly marks down around the bottom. The marks affect are not loud or obtrusive, but you can hear some surface noise and some ticks on the last 20 seconds of the run out of the song.

Please note: I downloaded a video of the last 35 seconds of "Defrost your Heart" just so there is no confusion about the song's fade out.
