Description
FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION YOU ARE BIDDING FOR ONE THE RAREST AND MOST HARD TO FIND ALBUMS OF THE 60'S, THE DIXIE CUP'S IKO IKO AND RECORDED IN 1965 ON THE RED BIRD LABEL RB 20-103 IN MONO. THIS ALBUM WAS NOT RECORDED IN STEREO. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING. THE TRAILOFF NUMBERS IN THE DEADWAX AREA, ARE LSLP-5009-5 ON SIDE 1 AND LSLP 5010-6 ON SIDE 2. THE PRESSING DATE INSCRIBED IN THE DEADWAX AREA IS 10/27 65. THE ALBUM COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS A 1/4" PARTIAL SEAM SPLIT STARTING IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER. THERE IS NO TAPE, WRITING, RINGWEAR OR SCUFFS ON THE ALBUM COVER AND ONLY THE SLIGHTEST OF DISCOLORATION ON ONE SIDE IN BACK. THE LINER NOTES ARE NICE AND CLEAN WITH NO PRICE STICKERS AND THE LABELS ARE CLEAN WITH VERY FEW NEEDLE MARKS. THE RECORD WAS INSPECTED UNDER THE SPECIAL LIGHT AND THERE WERE NO SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS, ONLY LIGHT SURFACE OR LINE MARKS. THE RICH SHINY GLOSS IS MOST EVIDENT. THE RECORD WAS ALSO PLAYED PRIOR TO LISTING AND THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR POPS, JUST SOFT OR LIGHT SURFACE HISSES IN PART OF A COUPLE OF SONGS. AS CAN BE EXPECTED FROM THIS WONDERFUL GROUP, THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS SUPER. DUE TO THE OVERALL CONDITION AND RARITY OF THE ALBUM, IT IS OF INVESTMENT GRADE QUALITY AND BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING STANDARDS, THE ALBUM IS GRADED VG+ AND THE RECORD VG+. THERE IS NO RESERVE. SIDE 1; IKO IKO, CHAPEL OF LOVE, GEE THE MOON IS SHINING BRIGHT, I'M GONNA GET YOU YET, AIN'T THAT NICE, THANK YOU MAMA THANK YOU PAPA. SIDE 2; GEE BABY GEE, ANOTHER BOY LIKE MINE, GIRLS CAN TELL, ALL GROWN UP, PEOPLE SAY. I WILL ACCEPT PAYPAL, CASHIERS CHECK, PERSONAL CHECK OR MONEY ORDER AND WILL SHIP ON DAY OF SETTLEMENT. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, EMAIL ME. PLEASE VIEW MY FEEDBACK, GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU.
GRADING IS BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING SYSTEM. I'M CONSERVATIVE WHEN GRADING MY ALBUMS AND RECORDS AND I TRY TO BE OBJECTIVE IN DOING SO.
MINT: (M); ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. CERTAINLY NEVER PLAYED AND PERHAPS, STILL IN ORIGINAL WRAPPING.
NEAR MINT: (NM); A NEARLY PERFECT RECORD AND ALBUM COVER. THE RECORD SHOULD SHOW NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR. THE ALBUM COVER SHOULD HAVE NO CREASES, FOLDS, SEAM SPLITS, WRITING OR OTHER NOTICEABLE DEFECTS. NO CUT-OUT HOLES EITHER. BASICALLY, AN ALBUM IN NEAR MINT CONDITION LOOKS AS IF YOU JUST PURCHASED IT FROM A RECORD STORE AND REMOVED THE ORIGINAL WRAPPING.
VERY GOOD PLUS: (VG+); A VERY GOOD PLUS WILL SHOW SOME SIGNS OF USE AND THAT IT WAS PLAYED BY A PREVIOUS OWNER WHO TOOK CARE OF IT. RECORD SURFACES MAY SHOW SOME SLIGHT SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY HAVE SLIGHT SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES THAT DON'T AFFECT ONE'S LISTENING EXPERIENCES. SLIGHT WARPS THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE SOUND IS OK. THE LABEL MAY HAVE SOME RINGWEAR OR DISCOLORATION, BUT IT SHOULD BE BARELY NOTICEABLE. THE CENTER HOLE WILL NOT BE MISSHAPEN BY REPEATED PLAY. THE ALBUM COVER MAY HAVE SLIGHT SIGNS OF WEAR AND ALSO MAY BE MARRED BY A CUT-OUT HOLE, INDENTATION OR CORNER INDICATING IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF PRINT. A VERY GOOD PLUS RECORD IS HIGHLY ACCEPTABLE AND DISIRABLE.
VERY GOOD: (VG); SURFACE NOISE WILL BE EVIDENT UPON PLAYING, ESPECIALLY IN SOFT PASSAGES AND DURING A SONG'S INTRO AND FADE. LABELS MAY BE MARRED BY WRITING OR HAVE TAPE OR STICKERS ATTACHED. THE SAME WILL BE TRUE WITH ALBUM COVERS. TAPED SEAMS MAY BE COMMON.
GOOD PLUS; (G+) OR GOOD (G); I RARELY DEAL WITH THIS CATEGORY.
SUMMARY; I SINCERELY HOPE THIS INFORMATION WILL BE OF VALUE TO YOU. I AM NOT AN EXPERT BY I DO HAVE OVER 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE BUYING AND SELLING INVESTMENT GRADE RECORDS. I AM SURE YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH MY AUCTIONS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.
