Description
A QUICK MESSAGE TO ALL MY FOLLOWERS , APOLOGIES FOR MY RECENT ABSENCE , AFTER NEARLY A YEAR OFF FROM DEALING WITH ANY RECORDS DUE TO LOOKING AFTER AND THEN THE SUDDEN VERY SAD LOSS OF MY FATHER , I AM NOW BACK WITH A GREAT SELECTION OF MANY VERY RARE RECORDS AND OBVIOUSLY MY USUAL AND OTHER VERY COLLECTABLE 7" AND LP RECORDS , I HAVE LOTS OF FANTASTIC RECORDS TO LIST SO PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON MY LISTINGS , MANY THANKS .
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OF MY 7" AND 12" VINYL RECORDS ARE PRO CLEANED ON MY PROJECT VACUUM CLEANING MACHINE , THANK YOU .
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL RECORDS , CD's , CASSETTES AND DVD's ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED FROM START TO FINISH ON BOTH SIDES AND INCLUDING ALL SIDES FOR ALL DOUBLE AND TRIPLE ALBUMS AND BOX SETS ETC THANK YOU .
ALL RECORDS ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED ON MY TRUSTY AIWA TURNTABLE AND GOOD QUALITY JVC AMP . THIS DOES ONLY HAVE A STD BASS AND TREBLE CONTROL WHICH I HAVE SET ON A HIGH " TINNY " SETTING . I LIKE TO SET IT LIKE THIS AS IT PICKS UP EVEN THE VERY SLIGHTEST BIT OF NOISE SO I KNOW I CAN DESCRIBE EVERY LP CORRECTLY ETC . I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT PLAYED ON BETTER OR TOP QUALITY SYSTEMS WITH GREATER AND MORE TECHNICAL SOUND CONTROL ETC , THESE RECORDS WILL SOUND A LOT BETTER THAN I HAVE DESCRIBED . I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I OFTEN GIVE RECORDS ANOTHER QUICK PLAY ON THE FIRST COUPLE OF TRACKS ON MY PERSONAL TOP QUALITY PIONEER SYSTEM AND I DO FIND THAT MOST OF ANY NOISES LIKE CRACKLE ETC ARE MUCH MUCH QUIETER , SOME EVEN HARDLY SOUND AT ALL . I TEST EVERY RECORD AND FIND THAT MY AIWA WILL COVER MANY OTHER SIMILAR SET UPS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE , I DID WANT TO JUST POINT THIS OUT , THANK YOU .
Please note that i do tend to use in and around the " Very Good / near excellent Condition " grade for most of my records , although none are heavily scratched etc and most will just have some general light surface marks only . The only exception to this is if the record does have scratches and lots of marks etc but is very rare and collectable and will be described in greater detail . I never use " Mint " or " Near Mint " unless the record is unopened from it's original shrink wrap and is clearly unplayed . Even with these i am wary because if the record has been stored for years in maybe a damp garage or loft etc and has not been opened , then we can only presume it should be mint because we obviously can't actually see the record . Everyone obviously has their own opinions as to what is very good and excellent , but in my case , i tend to think that most , if not all records do have marks to some degree ( lots even from new ! ) purely because they are vinyl and mark easy and have been used over a considerable amount of time in most cases . This is why i use between Very Good and near excellent most of the times . This is also why i do go into great detail with my descriptions , as the term " Very Good " can be a bit vague . I do use " Excellent Condition " sometimes , but in my case , i would class this as not played very much at all , excellent shine and just a handful of the very lightest and small surface hairline marks only , most only being visible under a light , so you know that when i use excellent , i really do mean excellent . Lots of my records as you can see by my feedback are better than described , ie better than very good and closer to near ( if not actually ) excellent and i do pride myself on this fact , this is why i do use mainly between Very Good and near excellent , but with very detailed descriptions also of which i will say i can go a little OTT with noise and general condition and can often make a record sound bad when it really isn't , i do just try my best to say how it is , please don't forget though , that all records will obviously vary in sound quality etc on other set ups depending on the quality and type of turntable / amps and stylus etc that are being used , but please do check out all of my feedback and you will see you can bid with confidence , thank you .

Elvis Presley Tell Me Why 7" SCARCE UK DEMO Pro Cleaned . On UK RCA Victor four prong green / silver print paper labels RCA 1489 . B SIDE: Puppet On A String .
COVER: Factory paper sleeve generally in very good condition . A very few very light and small general age related / surface / handling marks in places and the slightest bit of age related fading etc in places on the edges , there is also the RCA catalogue number written in blue biro in the one top corner on one side . The usual ring wear marks are present and there are a few bits of general quite light creasing / denting in places and the usual more prominent creases / dent lines caused by the impression of the outer edge of the record towards the corners . Some normal useage / age related wear on the top opening edges and a couple of extremely tiny knicks , but mainly bits of light dent and crease wear . Some usual but small bits of denting / creasing etc on the corners and a bit of general but light rub wear on the edges , obviously i can't confirm if this is the original sleeve . I will also be putting the record into a new plain white paper sleeve .
LABELS: Four prong green / silver print paper labels generally in near excellent condition . Very nice and clean overall with just a bit of a light colour visible on the spindle hole mainly on S2 label , i have seen this many times on these green paper label RCA Demo's and it must just be something to do with the printing , but certainly something from the time of manufacture and certainly not caused through any neglect etc , there are the often seen inked number stamps , which are normally on both sides but i only found a very light one on S1 label ( though my eyes aren't the best when looking close up ! ) , it must be somewhere on the other label i would think , but if it is , then it is very faint only , i think these numbers are to do with the track timings , there are just a very few very light usual spindle marks .
RECORD: The overall visual grade of the playing surface under normal average household light conditions is a very strong between very good and near excellent , though it really is far better than very good , i think maybe even airing closer to the near excellent side overall , with just a few very very light non feelable surface marks and very , mostly whispy type fine hairlines , there are no nasty deep feelable gouges / nasty deep scratches whatsoever , i will also say that a lot of the few finer hairlines and actually a lot of the few very light non feelable surface marks are really only more visible when held at certain angles to or under a light . Please see below for audio description .
AUDIO A SIDE: Silent run in has some usual but very very light noise . It does play excellent , beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really next to nothing in the way of obvious noise that was worthy of mention , i will say though that there was a very very light bit of what sounded like the noise sometimes heard on older recordings that is in the background , not loud hiss , a lot more subtle and lighter than that , actually i am pretty sure this was originally recorded well before 1965 and for some reason RCA held on to it until it's release in 1965 so possibly this may be the reason , i must stress that this is certainly not down to groove wear or marks etc and i think it sounds fantastic ! , most people probably wouldn't have mentioned this , but i do like to be thorough with all my descriptions as you know , the sound is really punchy ( actually more than usual in my opinion ) and there was no distortion etc on the louder parts and none of this overpowered any of the music at all being just very lightly in the background , it obviously may just be on the pressing , but i would say that it is on the actual recording and really does in my opinion , make it sound better , either way i just wanted to point this out , there was no nasty loud actual crackle and no nasty ticks , i think there was just the very odd extremely light isolated pop in places . Silent run off has some usual but very light noise . This side on the music really does play and sound fantastic overall and the audio tones are still awesome .
AUDIO B SIDE: Silent run in has some usual light noise . It plays near excellent overall , beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really very little in the way of obvious noise that was worthy of mention , there was some light noise , mainly on the intro and first part , but certainly not overpowering , i did hear a few other brief bits of similar noise ( but faint background only ) in a few other places , i'm not actually sure if this is not down to the same sort of thing as mentioned on S1 description , but i can't be sure , again , it certainly isn't down to groove wear etc and there is no distortion on the louder vocals or music , either way though it needed mentioning , but as i say there was certainly nothing overpowering at all and only being slightly louder ( but still light ) on the intro and first part , there were no nasty ticks , there was just the very odd faint isolated pop in places . Silent run off has some usual but very light noise .
I hope i haven't made this out to be really bad as it really is still a nice example , as i say i do like to be thorough , but can sometimes go a little OTT , i just try to explain the best way i can . Again i am starting this one off with a very low price ! .
There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a very nice shine . Any noises tend to be in short bursts only , are over quickly , are not constant and do not spoil any enjoyment . If any noises are more frequent or louder etc , they will be described separately in the above detailed descriptions thank you .
All in all still a nice overall example of this now very collectable and rare item . Thank you very much for your time and interest and happy bidding .
Please note that whilst I haven’t increased my postage charges for quite a while now , this now other recent price increase , has seen me unfortunately have to put a slight increase on my postage charges . This is also topped with the rise in cost for quality card mailers , jiffy bags , stiffeners , other packaging materials etc plus Ebays fees incl fees for seller postage costs ( 12.8% included in the total selling price ) plus their other now higher fees of 12.8% plus it's also now i think 35p per item sold . Please also note that I now send ALL non GF LP’s / 12" singles with a minimum of 3 stiffeners and all 7" singles with a minimum of 2 stiffeners ( more if i think they are needed ) , i never do and don't agree with making money from postage , but with all the added fees / extra stiffeners etc , all of this whilst not sounding a lot , does soon mount up and i actually do end up losing money on posting records , but I do obviously want to still remain competitive and still offer my usual top quality service , sorry again for this , thank you .
