I've been educated by local flea market hounds that anything that is on an unrecognizable label is a garage record. The music or condition of the record is not related to the equation. I picked up a record a few weeks back that had a pizza shaped slice taken out of the first quarter to half inch. I had no interest in it other than showing it to my wife and making a smart remark. Before i could say anything, the dealer told me the record was $8..I told him it was unplayable. He told me it didn't matter. It was a small label!! Everybody is looking for them!!!

I know Mop Top has addressed this, too (probably in TBM...I don't recall where I read his comment). "Garage" has become the default classification for any unknown record, regardless of sound. The days of blindly buying 45s by genre classification only and without a sound sample are long over.
