HELEN MERRILL self titled RARE EMARCY BLUE BACK DG MONO

LABEL: EMARCY MG 36006

RECORD: VG+/VG++ (A FEW SUPERFICIAL MARKS)

COVER: VG/VG+ (MINOR SEAM SPLITS….SEE PHOTOS)

NOTES: ONE OF THE JAZZ RECORD COLLECTOR'S MUST HAVES! FEATURES THE INCREDIBLE CLIFFORD BROWN. ORIGINAL DEEP GROOVE MONO PRESSING WITH DRUMMER LOGO AND SILVER RIM ON LABELS. ORIGINAL BLUE BACK COVER. THE RECORD HAS NICE SHINE AND HAS A FEW LIGHT MARKS, BUT NOTHING THAT CAN BE FELT. THE COVER HAS SOME MINOR AGE WEAR, BUT IS STILL QUITE NICE, ESPECIALLY THE FRONT (SEE PHOTOS). THE RECORD PLAYS GREAT WITH LITTLE TO NO NOTICEABLE SURFACE NOISE. I HAVE BEEN HOLDING ONTO THIS ONE FOR A WHILE, BUT HOPE IT LANDS IN GOOD HANDS!

RECORD GRADING AS FOLLOWS:

MINT:

SEALED.

NEAR MINT - :

LITTLE TO NO SIGNS OF WEAR TO COVER OR RECORD.

VERY GOOD + :

RECORD MAY HAVE A FEW HAIRLINE MARKS, BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING THAT WOULD AFFECT PLAY.  GOOD SHINE AND LITTLE TO NO GROOVE WEAR.  COVERS WILL HAVE TIGHT SEAMS AND MAYBE ONLY SOME SLIGHT AGE DISCOLORATION OR BUMPED CORNERS.

VERY GOOD :

RECORD MAY HAVE A FEW MORE HAIRLINE MARKS THAN VG+, AND MAY HAVE SOME GROOVE WEAR.  THERE MAY BE A FEW SMALL FEELABLE MARKS, BUT NOTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE A STICK OR A SKIP.  COVERS MAY HAVE SOME PARTIAL SEAM SPLITS AND GENERAL AGE WEAR, BUT STILL ARE NOT TRASHED.

VERY GOOD - :

RECORD MAY HAVE MORE THAN A FEW FEELABLE SCRATCHES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT AFFECT PLAY.  MODERATE GROOVE WEAR MAY BE EVIDENT AS WELL.  COVERS WILL HAVE PARTIAL OR FULLY SPLIT SEAMS AND MAY HAVE OTHER AGE RELATED DAMAGE A LITTLE MORE SEVERE THAN A VG RECORD.

GOOD:

RECORD WILL HAVE A LOT OF SURFACE MARKS AND PROBABLY MANY OF THEM FEELABLE.  LOSS OF SHINE AND SIGNIFICANT GROOVE WEAR ARE THE NORM TOO.  COVERS WILL BE DAMAGED AND MAY BE TORN, ETC.  THIS GRADE IS ONLY USED ON VERY RARE RECORDS THAT ARE USUALLY CONSIDERED "FILLER" COPIES.
