155

NOTE:  PLEASE VIEW MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE CLEAN & VINTAGE LP'S - FROM DEEP INTO MY 30+ YEAR OLD (OWN) COLLECTION!  JAZZ/BLUES/60'S ROCK/PSYCH/PROG - CLEAN VINYL!

Up for bid:  An Original Black Label Chess LP 1435 that features "Chuck Berry... Is On Top" Deep Inner Groove, Gauranteed to be an original pressing. 

Chess Records LP 1435 - Chess Producing Corp. 2120 S. Michigan Ave. Chicago ILL.

Condition:  It has excellent original sheen & is free of scratches.  I see one small sleeve scuff on the second side, otherwise offers NM playability.  Plays clean for an original Black Label Pressing and may end up becoming your final upgrade until you find a Mint one (good luck!).  The jacket is in sharp and clean condition.  Strong Vg+ as the front cover is free of rubbing or ringwear.  Corners and edges are sharp, has great color all around.  There is a very clean and small seam split to dead set middle of jacket.  Otherwise a very clean and sharp LP.

Please take the time to view my other auctions.  I'm in the process of listing my entire collection of vinyl (33rpm & 45rpm).  You will find amazing prices on Early Rock & Roll (many Mono & First Press), Blues & Jazz (Bluenote, Prestige, Riverside Labels), Obscure, Garage, Psych, Folk, Fuzz & Country.  Many are in Near Mint/Mint condition & were purchased new and never played!  My 40+ years of avid/obsessive collecting will result in fun sales for new & old collectors.  Thanks for viewing.

All records are visually graded unless stated.  I use my best judgement and 40+ years of experience.  Every attempt will be made to describe flaws.  Jackets & Vinyl are graded seperatly.  Below is a reduced version of Goldmine's grading system used:

Mint(M) - Sealed LP or like new and unplayed (sparingly used)

Mint Minus(M-) - Like new but may have been played

Near Mint(NM) -  Near perfect condition with perhaps an inconsequential flaw that will always be noted

Very Good Plus(VG+) - well cared for but previosly played, may have light scratches, collectable

Very Good(VG) - some distinguishable flaws that will be noted
