Description: A very nice copy of Johnny Desmond's "Play Me Hearts and Flowers". This number was a Top 10 hit in 1955 when it peaked at #6. I purchased these 45s on eBay several years ago with the intention of matting them with autographs I have collected of the respective artists for display purposes. I was more interested in clean labels than impeccable vinyl though they frequently go hand-in-hand. I collected the respective artists’ first record, first chart hit, top selling hit, etc. The cost of matting, however, proved to be too high, and I had to give up on this project. PLEASE NOTE: I have never played any of these records. I am not a dealer, but a collector attempting to pass my collection on to others. I am not, by any means, an expert when it comes to grading. What I can say is the these 45s have been inspected under a high intensity LED lamp. When viewed under normal lighting conditions, it is likely that the records would grade out higher. . However, should you have a grading problem with any 45 you’ve purchased from me, simply let me know me and I will make it right. ALL GRADING IS BASED SOLELY ON A VISUAL INSPECTION OF EACH 45 M = Absolutely new. If the 45 is not sealed, this rating is not used. NM = No visible flaws on the vinyl. Label soiling and ring wear is negligible.NM- or EX = Somewhere between VG+ and Near Mint. At most, 1 or 2 tiny and light hairlines or scuff lines.VG+ = Vinyl has been well taken care of but will have a few very light hairlines or scuff lines. Maybe some other slight imperfections like a rub mark. There should be very little to no background/surface noise when playing this record.VG = Vinyl will have several light scratches or hairlines that range from light to moderate. There may be background/surface noise while playing. Still a nice record but you might expect some crackles and pops.VG- = Somewhere between VG and G.G = Vinyl will have many scratches and scuffs that will no doubt result in significant surface noise upon playing. Because I have not played this 45, I am unable to determine whether there will be any skips upon playing it. Those 45s that needed it have been cleaned with “Lasermedia VNC-8 Professional Vinyal Record Cleaning Fluid.” SHIPPING COSTS ITEMS PURCHASED WITHIN A 24-HOUR PERIOD MAY BE COMBINED TO REDUCE SHIPPING COST.
