WELCOME TO

THE RECORD HOUSE

I HAVE BEEN SELLING QUALITY VINYL SINCE THE EARLY 90s IN ALL FORMATS (45s/LPs & 78s) AND SPECIALISE IN ITEMS FROM THE 1950s TO THE 1970s. MY LISTINGS NORMALLY CONSIST OF RARER/HARDER TO FIND ITEMS AND ARE GENERALLY GRADED AS VG+ OR BETTER. I DO SOMETIMES LIST LOWER GRADE ITEMS BUT USUALLY WILL ONLY DO SO IF THEY ARE EXCEPTIONALLY RARE.

ALL ITEMS THAT I LIST ARE U.K. ORIGINALS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED AND EVERY ONE IS CLEANED AND FULLY PLAY GRADED BY MYSELF. EACH LISTING WILL GIVE A VISUAL GRADING OF THE VINYL AS WELL AS AN AURAL GRADING SO THAT YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I WILL ALSO GIVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF SLEEVES/INNERS WHERE APPROPRIATE. ALL OF MY DISCS ARE GRADED IN NATURAL DAYLIGHT (NOT DIRECT SUNLIGHT) SO THAT I MAY GIVE A FAIR ASSESMENT OF WHAT A RECORD LOOKS LIKE. RECORDS ARE PLAYED ON A PIONEER DECK WITH SHURE CARTRIDGE TRACKING AT ABOUT 1.75g THROUGH AN ARCAM AMP AND MISSION SPEAKERS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT GRADING RECORDS CAN BE VERY SPECULATIVE AND THAT ONE PERSONS EX+ MAY BE ANOTHER PERSON'S VG. FOR THIS REASON I OFFER A FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ON EVERY ITEM THAT I SELL. IF YOU FEEL THAT THE ITEM YOU RECEIVE DOES NOT MATCH THE DESCRIPTION GIVEN OR COME UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS THEN I WILL GIVE A FULL REFUND WITHOUT QUESTION. ALL I ASK IS THAT THE ITEM IS RETURNED TO ME IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING AND IS SENT BY RECORDED DELIVERY. MY AIM IS 100% CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND I SEE NO NEED FOR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OR DEROGATORY COMMENTS. PLEASE SEE MY PREVIOUS FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE.

A SIDE: VG

B SIDE: VG

SOUND QUALITY:

A SIDE: VG+/EX-

B SIDE: VG(+)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 LABELS IN NICE CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT MARKS ON THE 'A' SIDE. NO WRITING OR TEARS. GOLD PRINT IS STILL BRIGHT. CENTRE HAS BEEN REMOVED. VINYL SHOWS SOME LIGHT HAIRLINES/NEEDLE LINES AND THE ODD LIGHT SCRATCH BUT NOTHING PARTICULARLY TANGIBLE AND NOTHING TO CAUSE ANY MAJOR ISSUE DURING PLAYBACK. THE 'A' SIDE HAS JUST A LITTLE LIGHT CRACKLE ON THE RUN IN BUT NOTHING PARTICULARLY AUDIBLE DURING THE SOUNDTRACK. SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT, NO NASTY DISTORTION AND NO LOUD POPS OR REPETITIVE CLICKS. THE 'B' SIDE IS SIMILAR BUT HAS SLIGHTLY MORE NOISE ON THE RUN IN WITH A LITTLE UNOBTRUSIVE BACKGROUND DURING THE SOUNDTRACK. HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED QUITE A FEW TIMES BUT WITH NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY AND NO REPETITIVE CLICKS. 

THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST ELVIS GOLD HMV SINGLES TO FIND, ESPECIALLY AS AN EXPORT COPY, AS THEY HARDLY EVER TURN UP FOR SALE. THIS WOULD MAKE A FINE ADDITION TO ANY SERIOUS ELVIS COLLECTION. 

GUIDE TO GRADINGS

    MINT: As new condition/unplayed

    NEAR MINT: No obvious marks or imperfections. May have very light paper lines/hairlines visible under strong light. Sound quality will be virtually perfect.

    EXCELLENT + Record will display just the odd very light surface line/mark. No needle lines or scratches. Background/surface noise will be virtually non existent with the possibility of the occasional solitary tick. There will be nothing on the record to cause any audible flaws or distortion.

    EXCELLENT: Record will display one or two surface lines and/or light scuff marks. No needle lines or scratches. There may be a little very light background noise only audible on the run in/out. No obvious audible flaws or distortion and will only have had light use. Records graded as Excellent will be very acceptable copies.

    EXCELLENT -: Slightly below Excellent. Will have a few more marks and the odd light needle line but no audible/repetitive scratches. May have faint background noise on run in/out but nothing to affect the quality of the music. Sound quality will be perfectly acceptable with just a little top end clipping occasionally.

    VERY GOOD +: Record will display light surface lines/scuffs, light needle lines and hairlines although there will not be any heavy or obvious scratches. Sound quality will still be perfectly acceptable although there will probably be a little light background noise, most obvious on the run in/out and a little minor distortion occasionally. Records graded VG+ will have had moderate use but have not been overplayed.

    VERY GOOD: Record will display several surface lines/marks, light needle lines and light scratches, some of which may be audible. The record has obviously been played many times but will still produce a good sound, albeit with some mild distortion occasionally. There will be no sticks or jumps and the record will play through fine.

I WILL NOT NORMALLY ADVERTISE ANY RECORD THAT FALLS BELOW A VERY GOOD GRADE UNLESS IT IS EXCEPTIONALLY RARE. I ALWAYS DO MY BEST TO GRADE RECORDS AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE NOT 100% HAPPY WITH YOUR PURCHASE PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY SO THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE SORTED. ALL ITEMS CARRY A FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.

POSTAGE WILL BE 1st CLASS AT THE RATE QUOTED ABOVE. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND SPECIAL DELIVERY FOR ITEMS OVER THE VALUE OF £40.00. PLEASE ASK IF YOU REQUIRE THIS. I ALWAYS OBTAIN PROOF OF POSTAGE FOR ALL ITEMS AND WILL DO ALL I CAN TO ASSIST WITH LOST OR DAMAGED ITEMS. PLEASE BE AWARE, HOWEVER, THAT I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITEMS ONCE POSTED. ANY CLAIMS FOR LOSS/DAMAGE MUST BE HANDLED BY THE PURCHASER OF THE ITEM AND I WILL NOT ISSUE REFUNDS FOR ITEMS LOST OR DAMAGED IN THE POST.

I AM HAPPY TO POST OVERSEAS BUT WILL ONLY SEND USING 'INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR' MAIL. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! IF THIS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOU THEN PLEASE DO NOT BID. MINIMUM PRICE FOR THIS SERVICE IS £7.00(GBP). 

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING.
