Description: For sale is a 45 RPM vinyl single by The Shields titled "You Cheated b/w That's The Way Its Gonna Be", originally released in 1958 by Dot Records. I bought this record used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put it into an archival inner sleeve, then into a storage box for seven inch 45 RPM vinyl records, that was kept under optimum conditions for both temperature and humidity until today. In the dead wax, between the labels and the last tracks, is etched "Delta 22706/Delta 22707" and the matrix numbers A-2/B-2, indicating that early stampers were used to make this single at Monarch Record's pressing plant, located in Los Angeles, California. These are hallmarks of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound qualities. The vinyl is visually graded as Very Good Plus because of superficial sleeve marks and hairlines, but still with surfaces that are shiny and bright without any scrapes, scuffs or smudges. I'm play grading this single between Very Good (Side Two) and Very Good Plus (Side One) because of occasional low levels of surface noise and ticking (Side Two only). It plays all the way through without any skips, pops or lock-ups from start to finish. This would be a welcome addition to anyone's collection. Please review all pictures and read all descriptions, as this is a final sale and I do not accept returns. Thank you for viewing my listing. I've been collecting records for more that 50 years and always clean them before and after playback to keep them in a pristine condition. I try to describe them to the best of my ability and use record grading guidelines like the Goldmine rating system as reference. Since retiring, I've begun to sell my very esoteric collection via my Ebay store (bobsanalogemporium) and will offer discounts for multiple sales. I always pack the items for sale in an archival inner sleeve, then put them in either a Kraft paper bubble mailer with sturdy cardboards or cardboard record mailers, always with the records separate from the jackets or its original picture sleeve, then sandwiched between sturdy cardboards before shipping. Please read all descriptions carefully and note all pictures before-hand, as I do not accept returns. Please visit my Ebay store for records, 45's, cassette tapes and comics of all different genres. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you viewing my listing.
