Artist & Title: Jimmy Durante ‎– Jackie Barnett Presents Jimmy Durante's Way Of Life Label & Cat #:1965 Warner Bros. Records ‎– W 1577  Vinyl Grade: NM play graded *vinyl is blem free and plays outstanding, very clean Cover Grade: NM   'old school' riveted cut-out hole top lh Notes:  No one with such a gravelly voice should have been able to put over a song as well as he did.  The album received a "Pop Special Merit" designation from Billboard upon its release, and 2 songs from the album, "As Time Goes By" and "Make Someone Happy", were used in the soundtrack for the 1993 film Sleepless in Seattle. (AllMusic) GRADING STANDARDS: 

(M) Mint: Record and cover appear absolutely perfect in every way.  Grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only be assumed to be mint.
(NM) Near Mint: Vinyl is shiny with no obvious signs of wear and plays perfectly with no audible imperfections. Cover is close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident. 
(EX or VG++) Excellent /Very Good ++: Record or jacket has a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Vinyl has been handled and played very carefully. Light paper scuffs and/or spindle marks may be visible with no appreciable lessening in sound quality. Covers show very minor signs of handling and wear. 
(VG+) Very Good Plus: Record displays light scuffs, spindle marks or very light scratches that may create some noise disturbances, but don't affect one's overall listening experience. Jacket begins to show more prominent signs of storage wear and aging.
(VG) Very Good: Defects are more pronounced with visible signs of handling and playing. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, although none of the flaws should be overwhelming. 
(G) Good / (G+)Good Plus: Vinyl will have scratches and visible groove wear. Record plays without skipping, although noticeable surface noise or ticks will be heard. Jackets have even more pronounced defects such as seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, water damage or other defects.
