BESSIE SMITH 
EMPRESS OF THE BLUES NO. 3 EP 
UK PHILIPS RECORDS 1958 
A REALLY FANTASTIC COPY OF THIS EP, I WILL NEVER CALL A RECORD FROM 1958 MINT BUT THIS IS AS NEAR AS YOU WILL EVER GET, THE LABELS ARE CLEAN WITH JUST ONE VERY FAINT SPINDLE MARK UNDER STRONG LIGHT, THE VINYL STILL SHINES LIKE THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED, IT ALSO INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL SHAPED POLY LINER THAT ALSO LOOKS LIKE NEW, IN 60 YEARS I BET THIS HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE A COUPLE OF TIMES AND LOVINGLY STORED 
COVER EXCELLENT 
VINYL EXCELLENT  MINT:  The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint 

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. 

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. 

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. 

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. 

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. 

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
