Wonder, Stevie: Superstition/You’ve Got It Bad Girl

Tamla Records T 54226F, 1972.  Generic sleeve with names on label, record is near mint.

VISUAL GRADE

Mint (M)  –  Only sealed records will be presumed M.

Near Mint (NM)  –  Record shows no signs of wear, appears unplayed.

Excellent (EX)  –  Will show faint paper scuffs on surface, otherwise a very desirable copy.

Very Good Plus (VG+)  – Shows signs that it was played and handled by someone who took good care of it.  Surface will show minor scuffs or hairlines that do not affect the listening experience. Most of my records fall in this category.

Very Good (VG)  –  Many of the signs found in a VG+ record are a little more visible here.  Background noise will be noticeable, especially in soft passages and during the intro and fade, but should not overpower your listening experience.

Very Good Minus (VG-)  –  A VG- grade is for a record that has more wear and noise than a VG, but plays without jumps or skips.  If it’s rare enough, it’ll get posted.

Good Plus (G+) and Good (G)  –  A record in G+ or G condition may play through with or without jumping or skipping.  The likelihood of significant surface noise, scratches and/or visible groove wear is expected.  The only reason we usually list a record in this condition is because of its rarity (consider it a filler until a more suitable copy shows up).
