This is one of those interesting little problems a guy will run into once in a while. Chuck E. Weiss here is Ricki Lee Jones’ “Chuck E” who was in love, but that’s not what makes the record collectible. It was withdrawn shortly after issue because it didn’t have the artist’s approval (oops). This copy has no cut-out marks (best version) and may very well grade M-. I never use that grade but it certainly plays clean and I’ll take it out in the sun to grade it. The thing is: it’s expensive but has a narrow market and makes me think about birds in the pocket and computers.
