OTHER COMMENTS

Fabulous late 50’s ‘rockin’ EP. Hard to find these days.

I always do my best to describe items accurately as my feedback rating shows and I always check condition under strong light. What I describe is what you get. I usually don’t show lots of pictures from every conceivable angle as this takes a long time to do and only gives extra profit to Ebay! But if you want more photos or more information before you bid, just let me know and I email you direct, but PLEASE give me enough time to do it (1-2 days) before the auction ends. A full description on my grading is also given below.

GRADES - All records are graded visually (under strong light) and audibly but not always right through, but if I do see a mark that may cause a problem I WILL play it through .Grades are based on the UK Record Collectors Guide, but suffixes (+) & (-) are also used to grade vinyl falling between 2 grades. See below.

MINT - The Record is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Covers and inserts are also in perfect condition – I will rarely use this grade and when I do it is with great care.

EXCELLENT PLUS (EX+) – My most common grading for high quality vinyl. The record will be as close to mint as you can get and there may be just a hint of use or a sign of one or two plays by one or two very faint surface marks, but definitely NO scratches or lessening of sound quality. Any covers and packaging included may show minimal signs of wear and/or creasing.

EXCELLENT (EX) – The record will show some signs of having been played and there may be a few light surface marks, but no scratches or lessening of sound quality. Any covers and packaging included might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD PLUS or EXCELLENT MINUS (VG+ or EX-) - The record will be better than a VG grade and will play as good as an EX grade with very little lessening in sound quality, but will show just a few too many surface marks for a straight "EX" grade. There may be a couple of very light scratches but they will not sound apart from maybe some surface noise on the run in or run out grooves. Also they will not cause jumps or pops when played. There may be a little general wear and tear on the cover or extra items, but without major defects unless specifically stated.

VERY GOOD (VG) - The record will have been played many times and there will be surface marks that cause some occasional light surface noise but no major deterioration in sound quality. There may also be light scratches and a little surface noise on the run in and/or run out, but nothing to cause jumps or pops when played. There may also be some general wear and tear on the cover or extra items, but without major defects unless specifically stated.

GOOD, FAIR, POOR, BAD - I DO NOT knowingly sell records less than VG unless specifically stated.

Feedback  - Positive feedback is important and as a seller I am keen to build a reputation for reliability and quality. I will leave feedback for you once you have advised me that the goods have arrived and are to your satisfaction to enhance both yours and my reputation as a buyer or seller with others.

Terms and Conditions - I will endeavour to finalise your purchase as soon as possible after the auction close, and would like payment within 7 days. I will then dispatch your order within 72 hours (or earlier) of cleared funds being received. Timescales will depend on the method used.
