THIS IS THE  ORIGINAL 1955 MEGA RARE 1st 10" PRESSING! BOTH THE COVER AND LABEL READS DL-5560. THIS IS ON THE DECCA RECORDS BLACK LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT. 1P IS STAMPED INTO THE DEAD WAX ON BOTH SIDES WHICH I BELIEVE INDICATES A VERY EARLY 1ST PRESSING!

VISUALLY, THE 63 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL DISC IS IN  EXCELLENT CONDITION! I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND NOTICED THAT THE PLATTER HAS RETAINED MUCH OF ITS ORIGINAL DEEP RICH GLOSS. GORGEOUS SHINE HERE!

THERE ARE MANY LIGHT SCUFFS & HAIRLINE SCRATCHES  (MOSTLY OF THE SWIRLY VARIETY) AND A FEW NEEDLE MARKS. THERE PORTIONS OF COUPLE OF THE LINES THAT I CONSIDERED TO BE JUST BARLEY FEEL-ABLE.

HOWEVER, NOTHING THAT WOULD EFFECT THE INCREDIBLE LISTENING  EXPERIENCE OF THIS WONDERFUL DEEP GROOVE PRESSING!

THE LABELS AS YOU CAN SEE ARE EX TO EX+ AS WELL WITH VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF WEAR! THEY ARE FREE FROM ANY WRITING OR STICKERS. JUST A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE TRAILS.

 BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS  I FEEL  THE VINYL  GRADES EX- TO EX 

THE COVER IS BEAUTIFUL AND WILL PRESENT EXCEPTIONALLY WELL! THERE IS NO SPLITTING, WRITING, TAPE OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE SEAMS ARE VERY STRONG & TIGHT!  THE SPINE IS VERY STRONG AND TIGHT AND PERFECTLY READABLE! THERE IS LITTLE TO NO RING/SHELF WEAR EVIDENT ON THE FRONT SIDE. JUST SOME LIGHT SCRAPES AND CREASING AS SHOWN. THE REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES ARE EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN, EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND PERFECTLY READABLE. THERE ARE TWO STAINS UPPER RIGHT CORNER. THEY APPEAR TO BE TAPE RESIDUE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY AS THERE IS NO SPLIT THERE. OTHER THAN SOME MINOR DINGS/SOILING THE COVER IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION! I GRADE IT AS NRMT- (MINUS)

I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS MOMENTS AGO AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS OUTSTANDING! THERE WAS SOME EXTREMELY MINOR NOISE HEAR AND THERE. MOSTLY NOTICEABLE IN THE QUIET PASSAGES. A FEW VERY LIGHT TICS,  CERTAINLY NOTHING I WOULD SAY WAS  DISTRACTING OR OVERPOWERING IN EVEN THE SLIGHTEST WAY.  THE FIDELITY WAS FANTASTIC! I GRADE THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE AS EXCELLENT TO NRMT-(MINUS)!

THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR DISTRACTING POPS/TICKS OR BURPS!

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 have NO 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 splits not 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 are NO 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 NORMAL 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 NORMAL 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.
