1958 GENE VINCENT and HIS BLUE CAPS ROCK! 1st Canadian Press Teal Blue Label ROCKABILLY

Artist: Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps, Title:Gene Vincent Rocks! And the Blue Caps Roll , Label: Capital Canada Deep Groove Light Blue Label T-970 Mono, Matrix #:T2-970-D2, T1-970-D1 2 Year of Release:1958, Grading Method: Play, and Visual,, Goldmine Grade : Vinyl: VG, :Cover: VG, Notes: First Canadian Pressing on Capital Canada. Light Blue deep groove label, monophonic. Some surface noise (ticks and crackles) with the occasional louder pop really only noticeable during the quieter parts and run-outs. It plays through without jumps or skips. Visually some scratches and some scuffing. The cover would has a few creases and a scuff here and there. No ring wear that I notice. For the most part the surface has much of its original gloss present. It would grade much higher but the seams have some splitting which has been taped back together. Other than that it has faired well over its 58 year life. Gene Vincent’s stuff with the Blue Caps is Rockabilly gold. Plus just look at what he is wearing on the cover. That dude was slick. Price $75.00 (plus tax)

Welcome to Time Capsule Records. We no longer have a retail location open to the public, but all vinyl can be viewed, and even listened to by appointment at our warehouse, located in Downtown Dunnville Ontario, just a stones throw from the beautiful Grand River. We strive to offer a wide selection of vintage 45 & 33 RPM Vinyl Records with genres ranging from Rock N Roll, Punk, New Wave, Early Hip-Hop, Classical, Jazz and Blues as well as unique oddball stuff great for sampling . We also offer a selection of Vintage Music magazines, Books, Posters and Concert Shirts, and limited selection of vintage audio gear including Turntables. Appointment viewings can be arranged by contacting us via email at timecapsule@rogers.com or at 289-209-8701. We prefer face to face sales, but shipping and insurance can be arranged at the purchasers expense. The Labels below can be clicked on to take you to specific artists and genre listings. Vinyl is graded according to the Goldmine Standard and we do strive to give an accurate description, indicating if it have been visually graded or play graded. If there is a certain title that you are looking for please let us know as we have thousands of titles and they don’t all make it up on to the website right away. All prices are in Canadian Funds and I do collect HST on behalf of the Government. HST number and Receipts are provided

We also have two sister blog sites as well. www.Timecapsuleretro.blogspot.com that deals primarily with Mid-Century Modern and Retro Furniture, Lighting and Nostalgia. The Other site is currently under construction, but once completed, will be dealing with primarily Vintage Toys from the 1940’s-1980’s.

GOLDMINE GRADING SCALE

SS (Still Sealed) New record with original shrink wrap/packaging.

M (Mint) The record is perfect but not sealed anymore. / The sleeve is like new but not not sealed anymore.

NM (Near Mint) A very clean record. Near mint condition except for slight superficial scuffs. Played only a couple times, at most. / Sleeves with this rating may have small defects but will not have significant creases or splits.

EX (Excellent) Vinyl has only a couple minor surface scuffs, but no scratches. / Label has very slight evidence of wear, no writing and sharp coloring. Jacket has no seam splits, no creases, very minor chipping at edges/corners, very minor ring-wear, no writing.

VG+ (Very Good Plus) Record surfaces may have slight scuffs or light scratches, but are still primarily clean. No serious play issues. A well-cared-for-record. / Sleeves may have some creases or minor ring wear, but will not be split. May have chipping at edges or bumped corners, moderate ring wear, little to no writing. May have promo hole, slot or cut-out corner. (A grade that will satisfy most collectors.)

VG (Very Good) A used, reasonable copy to play. Many of the defects found in a VG+ copy will be more pronounced in VG condition. Surface noise but the record is still a decent copy. / Jacket may have seam split and/or chipping at edges or bumped corners with some writing, ring wear.

G (Good) Vinyl has lots of wear, skips and scratches are certain. Deeper scuffs are present. A record that has seen better days. / Jacket may have seam split and/or chipping at edges or bumped corners with writing, ring wear. Not a cover you would want to frame.

F (Fair) Vinyl Is ready for trash with skips, repeats, warping, and/or deep scratches, but may be a good album to buy to fill a need until a better copy is found. / Jacket has large splits and/or major chipping at edges and corners, water damage/stains, or major writing, or heavy ring wear.
