RICK JAMES - SUPER FREAK (PT 1) / SUPER FREAK (PT 2)

Description: This is a mint minus condition copy, vinyl and labels, of the Rick James 45 Super Freak (Part 1), backed with Super Freak (Part 2), which charted #16 in August of 1981. First Pressing. The grooves shine. Looks unplayed. RECORD VINYL RATINGS Mint Virtually does not exist. The vast majority of 45s were never sealed. This being true, no one can say conclusively that a 45 was never played. So, I do not use this rating. Near Mint or Mint Minus Appears to either be unplayed, or shows hints of play by a meticulous and responsible collector. Play should be virtually free from any surface noise, except perhaps a couple/few seconds of starting grooves, and maybe a couple light ticks. Smoking Smokin Boys. Very Good Plus (VG+) A record in fine shape that should please most collectors. Signs of wear are evident, perhaps slight scuffs or very light scratches, that are either not deep enough to be audible, or are at most marginally audible in a very quiet passage of the song, or in a couple seconds of lead-in grooves. Very Good (VG) Generally listenable condition. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Scratches will be readily apparent. Surface noise may be evident but not overpowering. Casual listeners may find it acceptable, but demanding audiophiles will likely not. Very Good minus (VG-) Questionable condition. The record will have many scratches, at least some surface noise is guaranteed, yet the single will play through without skipping. For cheaply and easily obtained singles, many would look for ones of better quality. However, for rare or otherwise expensive singles, one might appreciate this condition, as in being lucky to have found the single at all. Good, Fair, Poor. Most sellers entertain 45s of these ratings. I do not. I throw them out and do the world a favor. Records in these grades include distortion, significant warps, skips, or so much surface noise that one has to make an effort to appreciate the song. The only exception is for a ragingly rare 45 that’s so miraculous to find, that for vanities sake, you might want it as a place holder or artifact. For example, a torn and water damaged picture sleeve for the US issue of the Rolling Stones “Street Fighting Man”.
