‎– Can I Sit Next To You, Girl / Rockin' In The Parlour AC/DC's first single, July 22nd 1974 with Dave Evans on vocals, before Bon Scott would join the band later that year. The rarest of all Australian AC/DC singles, this was their 1974 debut single, which reached number 50 in the Australian (ARIA) charts.
This vinyl record was taken from an old Jukebox, and although the surfaces have some marks and faint lines, it plays very well, with only some really light background / surface noise (not crackle, more a couple of areas on the A side, where there is faint surface fuzz , but no pops or clicks on either side of the record, other than a couple of little ones in the run-in / outs - see below)

A Side - Can I Sit Next To You Girl (Angus, Malcolm & George Young, with vocals by Dave Evans!)

Visual - VG-   numerous visible, but faint lines, no deep scratches, or anything even close to being "feelable"
Audio - VG    Top of the grade, great audio, no loud noises, but with some areas accompanied with a really faint surface fuzz, otherwise pretty much faultless.
Label - VG+ - in fantastic condition - no spindle marks, or excessive wear. No names, writing or stickers - see pics
B Side - Rockin' In The Parlour
Visual - G+     has some visual marks that look to have been caused by the jukebox. It is mostly over the last 1/3rd inner part of the surface. It looks like perhaps a cable inside the jukebox has rubbed on the surface, dulling the last 1/3rd of the record. It has no effect on the playback, as it seems to have just dulled the surface, without damaging the audio in the grooves.
Audio - VG+     Well played, but pretty much faultless audio, other than a couple of light pops in the run in / outs)
Label - VG+     In brilliant condition, no spindle marks, or excessive wear. No names, writing or stickers - see pics
Visually, it is hard to justify a VG+ grade overall, but considering the audio playback & labels, a solid VG, overall grading.
