Sylvia* - Pillow Talk (7") 

Record / Media Condition : Very Good Plus (VG+)

Sleeve Condition : Generic

Generic white card sleeve. Small "BB hole" drilled to right of production credits on label.

Notes : Label Variant. This is a royal blue label. There are no quotation marks at the phrase: a div. of ALL PLATINUM Enterprises. There is another pressing with a royal blue that is styrene. This disc is definitely vinyl. This artist was a major force in the music industry. Sylvia Robinson was a singer, guitarist, record producer and label executive, at a time when there were very few women in those roles. When young, she recorded as Little Sylvia. She was later in the duo, Mickey & Sylvia with the virtuoso Mickey Baker. She then had this solo smash and ultimately introduced the world to rap music with her Sugar Hill label. The reason there are so many variations of this release is because the label was an independent. "Pillow Talk" was their first hit and they had to scramble to get anybody they could to make the disc. The record was made and shipped out by a lot of different companies.

Record grading guide

Mint (M)

The item and container are absolutely perfect in every way. To qualify as Mint, the item must never have been played and is possibly still sealed. Mint should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Note that an item can be sealed and not Mint. If you suspect your record is in Mint condition, do not play it.

Near Mint (NM)

The item is nearly perfect. Near Mint (NM) media has more than likely never been played, and if it has, there will be no imperfections during playback. The item should show no obvious signs of wear. The cover or container can have very minor defects., but it should have no folds, seam splits, scratches, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Many dealers won’t give a grade higher than NM, implying (perhaps correctly) that no item is ever truly perfect.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

The item will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Any defects are of a cosmetic nature and do not affect the actual playback. In theory, a Very Good Plus (VG+) item should sound the same as a Near Mint (NM) one. Surfaces may show some signs of wear, such as slight scuffs or very light scratches, and slight warps that do not affect the sound are okay. Paper products like sleeves will have some wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a small seam-split. In general, it plays perfectly, and if not for some minor aesthetic wear, it would be Near Mint.

Very Good (VG)

The item’s defects will be more pronounced. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and fade, but will not overpower the music. Wear will start to be noticeable, such as with light scratches on vinyl (deep enough to feel with
