Description: Cleaned and Play tested This is the original 1961, advanced pressing vinyl 7” single, Blue skies by Johnny Rivers B/W That someone should be me. On the Pye International label, Cat No 7N 25118, in a company sleeve. I have graded it using the grade system below, play tested. From a smoke free home, please see my other listings, if you buy multiple items I will combine postage where possible. Vinyl – EX Cover –EX MINT (M) These are absolutely perfect in every way NEAR MINT (NM) Vinyl - Shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. Cover - Free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind. EXCELLENT (EX) Vinyl - May show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as tell-tale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Cover - Should have only minor wear, might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. VERY GOOD (VG) Vinyl – They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Cover - Many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too. GOOD (G) Vinyl - Significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably. Cover - Ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight, some tearing and may have even heavy writing or defacing
