The Velours
This Could Be The Night / Hands Across the Table

Label: Onyx 515

Condition: VG+/M- pressing fault in middle of A side causes a few light pops (not that noticeable and no skips), otherwise flawless

Great copy of this rare original Doowop number on the original label.

This 45 comes from an amazing and meticulously kept collection of nearly 1,000 45s I recently purchased from the original owner in central New Jersey. The collector had been an employee of a record store and caught many of the early rock'n'roll and doowop groups in Brooklyn at the State Theater. He even had an original !

Check for more records from this one-of-a-kind collection.

About me: I'm a 60's R'n'B DJ and collector. I'm thinning down my collection to make room for new acquisitions. I grade my records based on how I would BUY them, not how I want to sell them.

Payment:
PayPal.  Required within 14 days of auction close or your order is cancelled and I will relist the item.

Take a look at this week for more vinyl goodies!

GRADING (based on Goldmine)

Near Mint (NM or M-)
The record should show no obvious signs of wear and will be glossy/shiny. A sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. No cracks, scratches or warps.

Excellent (EX or VG++)
One or two light marks visible on the disc at most, otherwise full gloss. No cracks, scratches or warps. Sleeve shows 1-2 marks, nothing too major, maybe at the edges.

Very Good Plus (VG+)  
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled.

Record surfaces may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Maybe also slight warps that do not affect the sound.

Sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly bent corners, or a slight seam split.

Very Good (VG)
Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)  
A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches and groove wear. Tape, writing, seam splits, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
