[Jukebox-list] Grading Records

[Ron Rich]

David,
  If I remember right, the earlier Rolling Stones where on a blue colored label--with white or silver printing--want to say "Universal" for some reason. Some of the later of this type were also subject to a quick ware-out ("19th Nervous Breakdown", comes to mind). Ron Rich

Probably polystyrene. It's harder than vinyl, and the high
frequency modulations in the groove tend to get chipped off
with repeated play by anything but the gentlest cartridge
and stylus. As I recall, they were released in the US on
the London label (British Decca) but I don't know who
their American partner was.
