Title: Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps
DJ/Promotional Copy?: Yes
Label: Capitol
Catalog #: T811
This
record has been part of my family's collection for decades. The record
itself looks to be in very good condition. I can only see a few
scratches or smudges. It includes the inner sleeve. The jacket has
minimal
wear on the edges, but
all the seams look good. You can tell where it was taped at the top (it's browning) - however the tape is not there anymore and the seam is not split - so not sure why there was any there. Also there is a name stamped on the back of the jacket up at the top on the left (I blotted it out on the picture for privacy). Otherwise this is a nice vintage, promotional record.
Grading: VG+
Please note: I try
to grade a little lower because I would rather rate it 1 rating under
what I feel the grading to be - then you get it and be happy that it's
in better shape than you thought - then to over-rate the grading and
have you disappointed.
Records are graded using the grading system from Ebay as follows:
Mint Perfect, flawless. Legitimate sellers seldom use this grade. When a record is truly
Mint, it deserves (and receives) a large premium over other grades.
M- or NM (Mint Minus or Near Mint) – Usually the highest grade. Records from the
1950s & 60s in this condition are truly rare.
VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus) – Beautiful collectible condition. Only the slightest of
wear, certainly no deep scratches.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) - Great condition. Well cared for.
VG (Very Good) – Still good condition, but more wear than VG+.
VG- (Very Good Minus) - Generally not collectible condition, unless it’s a super rare
record. Most dealers avoid records in this shape or below.
G (Good) – Lots of wear, but still playable. The most confusing grade! Good really does
not mean good. It is actually quite poor condition.
Thank You Very Much!
