You  are  bidding  on  an  Original  US  STEREO  VINYL   LP    " SOUNDS  OF  THE  SOUTH "  by  VARIOUS  ARTISTS  on  the  ATLANTIC  RECORDS  LABEL    -   SD - 1346.   The   LP  HAS   A  TOTAL  OF  17  TRACKS    (and  A  FULL  TRACK  LISTING  IS  AVAILABLE  ON  REQUEST).

THIS  VERY  RARE  LP  IS  PART  OF  THE  (ATLANTIC)  'SOUTHERN  FOLK  HERITAGE  SERIES'  and  CONSISTS  OF  FIELD  RECORDINGS  MADE  BY  ALAN  LOMAX  IN,  I  THINK,  1959  FOR  ATLANTIC  RECORDS.  HE  WAS  ASSISTED  BY  SHIRLEY  COLLINS.

N.B.  THE  VINYL  LP  HAS  SOME  SCRATCHES  and  MARKS  TO  THE  VINYL,  HENCE  THE  (Record  Collector)  GRADING  BELOW.  BECAUSE  IT  IS  RARE,  I  HAVE  PUT  A  RELATIVELY  HIGH  AUCTION  STARTING  PRICE  ON  IT.  HOWEVER, IF  THE  WINNING  BIDDER  IS  NOT  SATISFIED  WITH  THE  CONDITION  I  WILL  OFFER  A  REFUND  OF  THE  AUCTION  PRICE,  BUT  NOT  THE  POST  and  PACKING  COSTS.  PLEASE  READ  THIS  and  THE  COVER  DETAILS  CAREFULLY,  AS   I  WILL  ONLY  OFFER  A  REFUND  IF  THE  BUYER  CONSIDERS  I  HAVE  BEEN  MISLEADING  IN  ANY  WAY. 

ALSO  PLEASE  BE  AWARE  THAT  THE  FOUR-PAGE  BOOKLET,  MENTIONED  ON  THE  BACK  OF  THE  RECORD  COVER  IS  MISSING  and  THEREFORE  NOT  AVAILABLE  WITH  THIS  AUCTION.

RECORD COVER:      VERY GOOD  MINUS  to  VERY  GOOD

RECORD GRADING:  VERY  GOOD  MINUS

THE  RECORD  COVER  HAS  SOME  WEAR  TO  THE  EDGES  and  THE  CORNERS  and  TO  THE  SPINE.  THERE  IS  ALSO  SOME  DAMAGE  TO  THE  CORNERS   and   THE  EDGES  INCLUDING  THE  OPEN  EDGES.  THE  CREAM  AREA  ON  THE  FRONT  COVER  IS  MARKED  and  A  BIT  DISCOLOURED.  THE  BACK  COVER,  WHICH  IS  BLACK  LETTERING  ON  A  WHITE  BACKGROUND,  IS  ALSO  MARKED  and  DISCOLOURED  PARTICULARLY  TO  THE  EDGES.  FINALLY  THERE  IS A  'CUT-OUT'  TO  THE  BOTTOM  RIGHT  SIDE  OF  THE  COVER  WHICH  IS  ALSO  A  BIT  FRAYED.  SOME  OF  THESE  DEFECTS  MAY  BE  VISIBLE  IN  THE  TWO  PHOTOs  I  HAVE  INCLUDED,  BUT  I  DO  NOT  HAVE  A  CAMERA  THAT  WOULD  PICTURE  THE  VINYL  PROPERLY.



I Grade VINYL RECORDS visually using the RECORD COLLECTOR Grading System as a guide ( Please see Below full details of WHAT THE  GRADES MEAN ).  If you believe my grading is inaccurate or misleading, please let me know within 28 days of receipt and I will do whatever I can to rectify matters. If we agree the item is to be returned I will refund the auction price paid, but not my post and packing costs, plus your postage cost on receipt of the item in the same condition as it was sent out.

Most of the Vinyl Records I have listed, and will be listing in the future, will be Graded VERY GOOD or BETTER unless they are Extremely Rare or of Particular Interest in Some Other Way, but the Covers and/or Contents may be Only GOOD, FAIR or Even POOR. Also, as At Present I DO NOT HAVE A TURNTABLE, I Cannot Vouch for the  Sound Quality  and Therefore My Returns Policy has Also To Reflect THIS.


R. C. GRADING SYSTEM

MINT:  The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should  be Mint.

EXCELLENT:  The record shows some sign of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD:  The record has obviously been played many times. but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite   noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD:  The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc.

FAIR:  The record is still just payable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR:  The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc.  The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD:  The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and it is only of use as a collection-filler. 

      

I  CAN  ACCEPT  PAYMENT  BY  CHEQUE  (reserving  the  right  to  wait  for  the  CHEQUE  to  clear  before  despatch),  or  BY  POSTAL  OR  MONEY  ORDER  or  BY  PAYPAL  . 

FREE POST and PACKING quoted is for 2nd class UK postage only.   Other services, such as 1st class UK postage or  Recorded Delivery ,  are available and any extra cost will be passed on to the buyer.   I aim to send items out within 7 days of receipt of payment, not counting Weekends and Bank Holidays.   Where cheques need to be cleared this may take a little longer.   I ALWAYS OBTAIN A CERTIFICATE OF POSTING and this can be copied to the buyer in the event of loss or damage.

Please Note that IN THE ABSENCE OF RECORDED DELIVERY, OR SOME OTHER FORM OF POSTAL INSURANCE, I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ITEM AFTER IT HAS BEEN POSTED.  I Will, Of Course, Do Whatever I Can To Help a Buyer Claim For Any Loss or Damage.
