PROUDLY OFFERING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TODAY, A MEGA-RARE CLASSIC BAYSIDERS ORIGINAL 1961 FIRST PRESSING OF "SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW" LP RECORDED IN HIGH FIDELITY IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION!

CHECK OUT THE SONG LIST BELOW TO SEE THE AWESOME COLLECTION OF DOO-WOP TUNES THAT WILL REALLY GET YOUR FEET MOVIN' AND YOUR HEAD BOPPIN'!!

THIS IS THE FIRST ORIGINAL 1958 PRESSING ON THE SILVER EVEREST LABEL WITH BLACK PRINT # LPBR 5124. THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE!

VISUALLY, THE 50 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL DISC IS IN EX++ CONDITION. I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE THAT THE PLATTER HAS RETAINED MOST ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL DEEP GLOSS! I DO SEE SOME EXTREMELY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINE SCRATCHES (MOSTLY OF THE SWIRLY VARIETY). NOTHING THAT I CONSIDERED TO BE EVEN CLOSE TO BEING BARELY FEEL-ABLE.

NOR DO THEY EFFECT THE INCREDIBLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

THE LABELS WHICH ARE PICTURED BELOW ARE GRADE EX++ AS WELL WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE TRAILS EVIDENT.

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THE VINYL GRADES AS EX++ AND APPEARS TO BE LIGHTLY PLAYED AND WELL CARED FOR.


THE COVER PRESENTS EXTREMELY WELL! THERE IS NO WRITING, OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE UPPER SEAM WAS PARTIALLY REPAIRED BY A PREVIOUS OWNER. THE SPINE IS STRONG AND READABLE. THE LOWER SEAM IS TIGHT WITH NO SPLITTING. THERE ARE SOME MINOR DINGS/CREASES AS SHOWN. THE LINER NOTES WERE EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND PERFECTLY READABLE & SUPER CLEAN! THERE IS EXTREMELY MINOR EVIDENCE OF RING WEAR ON THE FRONT, AND NONE ON REVERSE SIDE. THE COVER STILL HAS MOST OF IT'S ORIGINAL GLOSS.

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THAT THE COVER GRADES A EX+ AND PRESENTS VERY WELL


I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS INCREDIBLE! IF YOU LISTENED VERY CLOSELY THERE WAS SOME EXTREMELY MINOR NOISE HERE AND THERE MOSTLY BETWEEN TRACKS. BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING I WOULD SAY WAS DISTRACTING IN ANY WAY! THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE TRULY WAS NRMT-!

THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS, POPS, HISSES, CLICKS, TICKS OR BURPS!

PLEASE NOTE THESE LABEL PICS ARE BLOWN UP TO 2X THE ACTUAL SIZE! ANY IMPERFECTIONS APPEAR TWICE AS BAD AS THEY ACTUALLY ARE!!

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.
