U.S. Garage 45s for OFFERS
We'll give this a shot...some 45s available for offers, in order to avoid the set sale nightmare.
YOU decide what you wish to offer.
Do not :
ask me how much I want for a 45
ask me what the current high offer is. This is not an auction.... ... .I am not willing to haggle back and forth by upping your original
offer...submit your top offer.
Obviously, not everything listed is "big money" or expensive.
All submitted offers will be kept private. No behind the back dealings or sharing of offers to other interested parties.
REPLIES by PM . No comments or replies allowed in this thread (turned off).
If I find your offer acceptable, I will contact you by PM.
Take your time.
I won't finalize an offer immediately, so do not worry if there is something you desire but cannot respond pronto.
I will wait at least a full week before contacting anyone.
As for trades, let me know what you wish to offer in trade or combination cash & trade. I do not have a want list to send. I am open to anything reasonable.
Cash payments to be made via paypal friends and family only. No exceptions.
Postage cost to be determined, depending on your preference of shipment via USPS.
Strict grading a la Carolina Soul ebay auctions, meaning G+ and VG minus are not destroyed, noisy, unenjoyable 45s.
Most of these 45s would receive higher grades from the sellers wheeling & dealing on Facebook record groups.
Labels are posted here from my lousy camera phone. We are only permitted to attach 10 images per thread, so you do not see both sides of each 45.
BLADES "Moving Out" / "I Need You [Gaye]
Looks: VG++ could be mint minus but there are some pin size pressing dimples on vinyl surface not affecting play.
I had a lower grade copy with the same thing, also found on my own collection copy.
Label has W G initials on A side, marked with nail polish.
Plays: M-
CHRISTOPHER CERF "Watch Your Step" / "I Say Love" [Amy]
Looks - Clean VG with 4 - 5 lite hairline scuffs / rub marks on "Watch Side", "I Say Love looks VG++
DJ / promo, clean labels
Plays: "Watch..." some mild distortion at start and in louder over-modulated vocal passages due to styrene pressing.
The repeating 'click' noise throughout the song is part of the original recording - not a defect.
B side plays VG++
DIAMOND RINGS [FRISCO MINT] "Which End Is Up" / "All I Really Want To Do" [Eastwood]
Looks: G+ due to scuff marks and hairlines. B side not as bad.
A side has sticker removed revealing original name Diamond Rings - has faded stain, but no tear of label.
B side retains white sticker crediting FRISCO MINT affixed over the Diamond Rings.
Plays: low VG range due to a few lite clicks here and there, but mastered very loud so they are not annoying even with headphone listening.
Was my collection copy for over 25 years until I found a high grade M- replacement.
GRAF "Too Many Tears" / "Midnight Hour" [Sound Inc.]
Looks: G+ with a thumbnail size rub mark, few scuffs and hairlines. Certainly not worn or well-played
Yellow color label shows no wear, but is autographed by members in small size writing, one of them has altered word in title from
'Tears' to 'Beers' as depicted.
Plays - VG with some lite surface noise in quieter parts, not bad..B side has louder surface noise wear.
Note - this is one of four known copies, the 4th being an unplayable cracked in pieces copy!
KAKS "(Leave It) In The Hands Of Love" / "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" [Cobra]
Looks: VG minus due to playwear...has tiny edge chip that does not extend into lead in groove or playback groove.
Label autographed name in pen on A-side
Plays - "Leave It.." VG, loud trebly mastering rendering a better than it looks audio grade.
Lousy unrecorded B side plays noisy.
KAZUALS "I Can Believe" / "Fat Gal" [Kazuals]
Looks: VG- visual playwear, slight warp, N.A.P. Vinyl pressing, Clean labels
Plays: VG minus due to noise-wear at intro, solid VG rest of songs
LAYMEN "Sometimes I Think About" (vocal) / "Sometimes I Think About" (instrumental) [Sumit]
Looks: VG+ has 4-5 scuff line marks, as if disc rubbed against another 45. Not feelable. Flip side perfect.
The DJ I got this from wrote VOCAL & INSTRUMENTAL above each title when he aired it on the Pensacola, Florida Top 40 station in 1967.
Labels otherwise are clean
Plays: VG++
NIGHTSHADES "My Mother Done Told Me (That You Were A Lover)" / "Sweet Cecilia" [Gear]
Looks: store stock uplayed, B side label is placed off-center
Plays Mint-
ONE-EYED JACKS "Die Today" / "Somewhere They Can't Find Me" [Lakeside]
Looks: VG minus due to surface scuffs..label has partial water stain damage cut-out bb hole
Plays - Strong VG to VG+
