THIS IS THE  ORIGINAL FIRST 1958  PRESSING ON THE EPIC YELLOW LABEL WITH BLACK PRINT # LN-3448.

 STAMPED INTO IN THE DEAD WAX ON SIDE 1 IS XEM42622-1A SIDE II DEAD WAX IS XEM42623-1B THIS IS INDICATIVE OF AN EARLY FIRST PRESSING.

VISUALLY, THE THICK VINYL DISC IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE THAT THE PLATTER HAS RETAINED MOST ALL OF  ITS ORIGINAL DEEP RICH LUSTER...PLENTY OF SHINE HERE! I DO SEE SOME EXTREMELY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINE SCRATCHES  (MOSTLY SLEEVE TYPE SCUFFS). THERE IS ONE SCRATCH ON SIDE 1 LAST SONG EXTENDING INTO THE DEAD WAX. NOT REAL DEEP BUT LIGHTLY FEEL-ABLE.  A VERY SMALL PORTION OF ANOTHER THAT I CONSIDERED JUST BARELY FEEL-ABLE WITH THE TIP OF MY FINGER. NONE OF THE ABOVE WOULD SERIOUSLY EFFECT THE OUTSTANDING  LISTENING EXPERIENCE THANKS TO THE DEEP GROOVE PRESSING! OTHER THAN THAT A BEAUTIFUL SLAB OF VINYL!

THE LABELS WHICH ARE PICTURED 

 GRADE EX+ WITH VERY MINOR SIGNS OF WEAR.

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS  I FEEL  THE VINYL  GRADES AS EX  TO EX+ (EXCELLENT TO EXCELLENT PLUS)

THE COVER PRESENTS NICELY. THERE IS NO TAPE ANYWHERE! THE. THE SEAMS ARE LIGHTLY WORN BUT UNSPLIT! THE SPINE IS LIGHTLY WORN BUT READABLE. THERE WAS A "K" WRITTEN IN PEN ABOVE THE WORD SCREAMIN' THERE ARE SOME MINOR  DINGS/CREASES AS SHOWN. THE LINER NOTES ARE VERY CLEAN, INFORMATIVE AND PERFECTLY READABLE! THERE IS MINOR STAINING NEAR THE EDGES AND VERY MINOR EVIDENCE RING/SHELF WEAR VISIBLE ON BOTH SIDES. 

 BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THAT THE COVER GRADES AS EX AND PRESENTS VERY NICELY!

I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS OUTSTANDING!!! THERE WAS SOME INTERMITTENT MINOR NOISE UNDERNEATH THE MUSIC AND A FEW LIGHT TICS HERE AND THERE.  ANY NOISE MORE EVIDENT IN THE QUIET PASSAGES. BUT NOTHING DISTRACTING IN THE SLIGHTEST WAY! AN OUTSTANDING LISTENING COPY! THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR DISTRACTING POPS, HISSES, CLICKS, LOUD TICKS OR BURPS! THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE GRADES EX++ TO NRMT-(MINUS)

OVERALL  CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE THIS CLASSIC LP GRADES AS EX TO EX+ EXCELLENT!

WE USE GOLDMINE AS GUIDELINE FOR OUR GRADING SYSTEM.

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

MINT

Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.

NEAR-MINT

NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks(from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for)The album cover will haveNO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!

VG+(EXCELLENT)

VG+records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable.

The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splitsnot larger than 1". Neatly taped seams of 2" or less.It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.

VG

VG Records have more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There areNO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

VG-

VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.

G/G+

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
