For Auction - Chuck Corby And The Entrees on Fee Bee 119. Songs on this 1967 Northern Soul 45RPM record include I Need Your Love and Honey, Let Me Stay. The vinyl visually grades EX+ and the audio is EX (at least an 8 or 9 out of 10 on both songs). Please see pics for record label condition. To be provided with a new, white sleeve. Please see my grading scale (below).

Please email me if you have any questions. I accept paypal. Please see my other listings. I combine shipping costs if you buy multiple items.

My Grading System (Visual)

Note: All records you may receive from me have been cleaned, visually graded, listened to for audio grading and are ready for play.

NM (Almost perfect but not quite. May have very, very light superficial scuffs, needle drags,stains, etc. but nothing even approaching "fingernail").

EX++ (Almost NM but not quite. Might have more superficial scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. than the NM grade). 

EX+ (Will have a few superficial scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. but nothing "fingernail").

EX (Will have some superficial scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. but nothing "fingernail").

VG++ (Might have some scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. that are "fingernail" but are not deep and do not negatively impact the audio).

VG+ (Scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. are more pronounced than the VG++ grade).

VG (Might have scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc. that you can distinctly feel with your fingernail and cause some ticks).

VG- (Slightly worse than the VG grade).

 I make a distinction between superficial (non-feelable needle drags) vs. "fingernail" scratches (those you can feel with your fingernail). Also, although I consider visual grading as important, I consider the audio even more important. That is why I listen to all of my 45's and 78's and spot check the LP's I sell. I visually grade 78’s more liberally (scuffs, needle drags, stains, etc.) than 45’s or 33’s because they are more “forgiving” (audio) to these imperfections.

I also take the audio into consideration when a given record is "between" visual grades. For example if the visual grade is between a VG++ and EX and the audio is EX I might give the visual grade an EX. However, if the audio was good (not EX or GREAT) I would give the visual grade a VG++. I have experienced situations where a given record was visually EX++ but the audio was about a 5 or 6 out of 10. This and similar situations prevents buyers from receiving good looking records (visual) but with inferior sound.  

My Grading System (Audio) 

I use an Audiotronics 304A for audio grading. Keep this in mind if you have a “high-dollar” system or a system that highly discriminates various imperfections. To some degree, the same record will sound different on different players. 

EX (The audio is about an 8 or 9 out of 10).

GREAT (The audio is about a 7 or 8 out of 10).

GOOD (The audio is about a 6 or 7 out of 10 with some light ticks probable).
