For sale is a superior example of rare soul 45 "Coming Right Back/Shadow of a Memory" by the 21st Century, original OG pressing on the Noel Records label, N1. 
Condition: 
"Shadow of a Memory" side has date "5/29/68" written in ink on it. Labels otherwise very clean. Vinyl rates an as-new NM. Plays flawlessly. 

From the estate of a DJ who ran a gospel/Christian radio station from his basement in the 1960s, when you could apparently do that sort of thing. He received tons of secular promotional 45s despite being a gospel outfit, which he impeccably kept in file cabinets in his basement. Please see my other listings for more from his remarkable collection. 
My grading system:

STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition. 

M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless.

M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade. 

NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection

VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws.

VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections

VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.  

VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better. 

GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections. I generally don't sell items in this range unless they are of major significance.
