Description

YOU ARE BIDDING FOR A VERY RARE FIRST PRESSING OF THE TEDDY BEARS SING AND RECORDED IN 1959 ON THE IMPERIAL LABEL LP-9067 IN HIGH FIDELITY. THE ALBUM COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS NO TAPE, WRITING, RINGWEAR OR DISCOLORATION, JUST A TOP AND BOTTOM SEAM SPLIT. THE DEEP GROOVE RECORD HAS MAINTAINED IT'S RICH SHINY GLOSS. AND THE LABELS ARE VERY NICE. THERE ARE NO DEEP SCRATCHES JUST SOME SCUFF MARKS AND LINE MARKS FROM NORMAL USE. I PLAYED THE RECORD JUST BEFORE LISTING AND THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR LOUD HISSES. THERE WERE SOME POPS ON A COUPLE OF SONGS. IT'S A RARE FIND FOR THE 60'S COLLECTOR. BASED ON GOLDMINE'S GRADING SYSTEM, THE ALBUM IS GRADED VG+ AND THE RECORD A STRONG VG. SIDE 1; OH WHY, UNCHAINED MELODY, MY FOOLISH HEART, YOU SAID GOODBYE, TRUE LOVE, LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT. SIDE 1; I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE, TAMMY, LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY, DON'T GO AWAY, IF I GIVE MY HEART TO YOU, SEVEN LONELY DAYS. 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.
