ARTIST:  Eric Hayden
LABELS: Melodisc 1265
TITLES:  Belly Lick / Fan Me, Soldier Man Fan Me
CONDITION:  EE- / E
DESCRIPTION: 
Eric Hayden offers a pair of calypsos backed by the Gulf Stream Calypso Band on this Melodisc 78.  Glossy copy with a few minor scuffs. 

E+

Highest grade used. A record that might have minor handling marks but has no visible signs of wear.  N, N- and E+ records will all be graded as E+.

E
Record has slight signs of handling and use but groove wear should be barely detectable and grooves should still be glossy and black.

E-
Light groove wear with grey rubbing and light circular gray grooves starting to appear, but record should still retain glossy black grooves for almost all of the surface.

V+
Grey wear, handling and groove wear more apparent, but much of the groove area will still have black.

V
Record is approaching an overall grey surface with uniform wear, but will still play well even though the level of surface noise and distortion could be distracting.

V-
Record has wear throughout, and was subject to continual playing to wring more sound out of it, so even the grey is in a more advanced state of deterioration with groove walls disappearing.

P
This grade generally indicates poor condition on a good title.
