MOTOWN WINNERS' CIRCLE (LP) Number 1 Hits, Vol. 5. Gordy GLPS-950. 1970. VG+

Description: Here is the 1970 Motown record called "Motown Winners' Circle-No.1 Hits Volume 5". On Gordy label GLPS-950. Indianapolis Pressing. Various Motown artists on here as you can see on the front and back covers. Temptations, Diana Ross & Supremes, Smokey Robinson & Miracles, Four Tops, Mary Wells, Bobby Taylor, Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Marvin Gaye, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, and Marvelettes. Cover is in okay condition, but the left side seam has a tear in the middle section of the seam. Photo here. Top and bottom seams are okay except the top seam at the right side where the record comes out does have about a 1/4" tear up there. Comes in a plain white inner sleeve. Front cover has some white ringwear spots around it and a little tan stain at the upper right corner. Back cover had a little dot stain next to the 5 number, but I was able to scratch it off (after the back cover photo) and only a very light dot stain is there now. Side 1 looks good until you put the record under a super bright light. There are several surface scratches in various areas and I have photos of all that here. Same with Side 2. I have photos of the surface scratches for both sides here. Here is a minute and 40-second audio/video of Side 1 sections so you can hear the sound quality. There are some light crackles you may hear in some areas, but not too bad. Side 2 has some crackles here and there, but not overwhelming. You decide. No skips or pops. I rate the cover sleeve as only a Good (G) due to some tears along the side seams. The vinyl gets a Very Good (VG) to Very Good Plus (VG+) for sound quality since there are some light crackles here and there on both sides. No skips or pops. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ If buying 2 or more records, don't pay yet.

No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label. NM-: Near Mint Minus - Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label. EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++. VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off. VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-. G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on label and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself. P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up bigtime. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it.
