Anyone out there hankering for a decent copy of the MOXIES "Get A Move On" / "Please Don't Go"(Monza 1126) ?
This was my collection copy that I obtained nearly 30 years ago via a mammoth trade / swap session with Ray R.
I have since upgraded, and the party that was interested in my spare has never responded after several months as a "hold", so:
Condition - labels are clean, with slight age wear at inner ridge and outer bevel. If you want a grade for this banana yellow label I'd say VG+
There is no writing on either side.
"Get A Move On" - visually VG. I would grade higher if not for light groove playwear... almost looks like a haze in the wax (but it is not)
One or two tiny pinhead sized press bubbles, as in most copies I gather...
Plays VG+..only lite noise at intro and after cold fade, no clicks or pops at all.
"Please Don't Go" - visually looks full sheen, would be very clean but the surface has a skidtype, wavy mark across the play surface..about 1/16 of an inch wide, extending across. It is not a deep scratch. I do not hear any clicks or pops thru headphones. I also see a few hairline marks. I'll be safe and say this side plays VG+
I A/B'd my near mint upgrade to this copy and there is only slight improvement heard with the near mint disc, so whoever gets this should be pleased from an audio standpoint.
Overall - a solid VG copy sans any noisy imperfections. Certainly grades way better at a solid VG than most other wheeler-dealer VG to VG+ grades, theirs play with surface noise that is almost as loud as the music, with assorted other annoyances. Some of those characters on them Facebook selling groups for example.
If interested, send me a PM with your offer. Not interested in trades as those never seem to work out in both parties' favor.
