"RVG" & ear etched in the dead wax
767 Lexington Ave. NYC ~ Deep Groove

VINYL: EX: Very thick & very heavy. A few light surface marks. Very black & glossy. LP was not often played.

COVER : EX:  Spine and both seams intact. Minor overall shelf wear. Tiny price written in ink on back cover/top left corner. Opening edge sharp. Semi-glossy front cover. Very heavy, thick stock cardboard.

INNER SLEEVE: Audiophile (+ original wax paper sleeve)

BEAR SAYS: Horace Silver's second Blue Note LP as a leader. This music was recorded in 1952-53. Most tracks feature Horace & his trio (Curly Russell or Gene Ramey & Art Blakey) but 2 tracks feature only drummer Blakey and conga player Sabu Martinez (inc. "Message From Kenya") hence the title, Spotlight On Drums, eh?

A SIMPLE VINYL GRADING SYSTEM :

Mint: Still Sealed/Unplayed/Unopened
Mint minus (M-): New and Possibly Unplayed ; a rarely used grade.
Near Mint (NM): Like-new, with little or no visible wear; very collectible.
Near Mint minus (NM-): almost like-new, perhaps very slight signs of age, play or wear that are strictly cosmetic.
Excellent (EX) Very Good double-plus (VG++): Way above average, very nice, no serious flaws; played, not abused.
Very Good plus (VG+): An above average used LP; a few visible surface marks or paper scuffs; slight surface noise.
Very Good (VG) : An average used LP, far from perfect; a few light scratches. Some noise; plays through, no skips.
Very Good minus (VG-) : Reveals lots of wear when viewed or spun but is not actually defective or warped.




LP Cover grading is a much less exact, more subjective science. Generally, the truly collectible grades range from Mint to Excellent (VG++) depending on general wear. Main cover flaws such as split seams or spine splits, ring wear, cut or bent corners, hole punches, writing, water damage etc. should always be mentioned in a proper auction listing. These factors or lack thereof will combine to determine the grade. Please email if you desire more details about any cover/record/insert or poster listed by Bearswax 2.
