ONEADAYRECORDS – Simply Delivering Quality Music to the World in Quality, Safe Packing.

Postage: UK £4.95. Europe (including Russia) £12.95 (£1 per extra record). Rest of World £19.95 (£2 per extra record). All my records are sent in boxes and the price of them has increased over time and these are my first price increases for nearly 10 years. Royal Mail prices have also gone up again. I will never compromise on quality, safe packaging – I NEVER use mailing envelopes that offer virtually no protection at all, and records WILL arrive damaged in them at some time as most record buyers will already know. Here, you get what you pay for – SAFE PACKING in BOXES using 7mm DOUBLE-WALL STIFFENERS including full side protection and bubble wrap, the records removed from the covers of course. All this very safe packing means I lose money on every box I post, but safe delivery is, and will always be paramount. You WILL see the difference when my packet arrives. Also, I will pay for insurance on any record that sells for over £100 at NO extra cost – that is UK and abroad. Also I aim to post the very same day after payment is received if possible. PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT send any item, no matter what its value without a Royal Mail or courier tracking number. ALL my items must be signed and trackable to comply with Ebay delivery rules. Please do NOT ask me to make any exceptions to this rule as no country offers 100% reliable service without it.

Posting to Russia: Yes, I do post to Russia. But delivery can take longer from the UK. So please be patient. I will submit a tracking number to the winning bidder, and when the packet arrives there it can be followed online using the Russian post website.

ALSO: I now apply the Ebay ‘2-day’ rule for non-payment to keep things moving – cash-flow is important for any small business.

ANY ITEM or ITEMS TO BE PAID WITHIN A MAXIMUM OF 6 DAYS or they will be cancelled – NO EXCEPTIONS.

FINALLY: Late payers, non-payers and ‘0’ bidders will now be blocked or cancelled at my discretion, as will any bidder who cancels a bid. Please only bid on my items if you want them.

Artist or Band: HUMBLE PIE

Album Title: Performance Rockin’ the Fillmore

Producer(s): Humble Pie

TRACK LIST:

Side 1: Four Day Creep; I’m Ready; Stone Cold Fever.

Side 2: I Walk on Gilded Splinters.

Side 3: Rollin’ Stone.

Side 4: Hallelujah I Love Her So; I Don’t Need No Doctor.

Label/Format: A&M, original tans format with matt, quite smooth surfaces.

Label Conditions: All very clean, fresh and attractive with only a tiny few light, fine and faint spindle marks and no wear around the hole area.

Catalogue Number: AMLH 63506

Mode / Speed: Stereo / 33.3 rpm.

Warps: Assume all records I offer have no warping of any significance and all tracking is easy and effortless and should play on all turntables and even ‘budget’ decks.

Weight of Records: 116 / 113 grams. Quite light records, but superbly pressed – which is not always the case on the label – and all four sides play impressively.

Country of Manufacture: England

Rarity: Moderately scarce on the first issue mustard label.

Original Year of Release: 1971

Matrix Nos: AMLH 63506 A-1 ?W / AMLH 63506 B-1 ?W / AMLH 63506 C-1 ?W / AMLH 63506 D-1 ?W [Side 3 error corrected]

Musicians: Steve Marriott – guitar, vocals, harmonica; Peter Frampton – guitar, vocals; Greg Ridley – bass, vocals; Jerry Shirley – drums.

Brief Info: A live double set that proved a steady, rather than major seller, thus first label issues are less easy to find, especially in better condition. It still featured Peter Frampton, but he left the band prior to the album’s release. These appearing little played and very well pressed and are on non-translucent black vinyl.

Cover Grade and Format: EXCELLENT: arguably better for this one. An unlaminated gatefold format with matt, smooth surfaces. Printed and made in England by Robor Ltd, includes the two white polylined inner sleeves.

Cover Front: Another challenging dark matt gatefold cover that rarely escapes often heavy ring wear, rubbing, sticker issues and creasing. Certainly one of the best I have seen in ages with any rubbing or marks minimal, few and faint. Still fresh looking and the lack of ring wear is especially welcome.

Cover Back: The back is superb, and against the odds, has avoided ring wear again. Unusually fine and attractive, the fact it’s been cover-protected for most of its time has reaped reward in this respect.

Cover Inner Gatefold: Little short of immaculate with barely anything to really fault.

Top Edges: Straight, flat and flush with barely any wear up to the very end of right corners that have minor light rubs.

Bottom Edges: Any rubbing to these storage edges is very light and patchy. Few black storage edges will have less here.

Right Edge(s), and Type: Mostly sharp with any thickening little and light. Records enter on these edges.

Spine and Text: Very impressive with barely any rubbing of any note, and that is very unusual. Solid, straight with no compression or crushing and folded square, so the edges meet up very closely together and parallel. All text is perfect and unworn, the surface, and even the folds avoiding the usual rubbing and scuffs, any blemishes tiny only as-seen.

Corners: Any tip rubs mostly small and light with very fine to excellent shape retained with no knocks.

Cover Summary: A very strong all-round example of this highly unforgiving dark cover, one that will prove very difficult to find much better. This still attractive and fresh item should please many collectors.

The Inner Sleeves: NEAR EXCELLENT: white polylined inners with only quite light creasing and mild age darkening. Both linings clear and neat as seen through crisp unworn window circles. One has a written code to one corner. All edges naturally intact with no splits. Both have the same UK Patent No. 1,072,844 and ‘Foreign Patents Pending’ text.

Vinyl Condition/Visual Grading: EXCELLENT: and better still for sides 1, 2 and 3 with side four showing gentle and fine surface ‘brush’ marks under light which do nothing. A very fine visual pair that are very clean with equally fine shine and quite solidly pressed. A copy with minimal plays on all the evidence with no penetrating stylus scratches, viewed in average room light little even register. Visually very fiine records that should please many collectors.

Album Played For Grading: Yes. [I play ALL records I offer before submitting to Ebay, also the record is played in its entirety unless clearly stated otherwise. I do NOT play snippets or joining grooves to check for sound quality and quietness – I play from the beginning to end via clinically revealing equipment, all listed further down.]

Sound Quality and Audio Grading: This quality double live set play even above their high visual grading with little to fault. Offering strong, distortion-free sound, all frequencies are sharp and clear – sound quality is very high with a wide dynamic range and very detailed sound. Any surface sounds are minimal and both records are very cleanly pressed with no tracking issues* or inherent pressing noises. This does have some quiet passages, so the odd sporadic contact trace is near impossible to avoid totally. Few available copies will outperform this significantly I feel sure. Both channels are clean and sharp, I am certain these records have been played very lightly and has been generally well stored and carefully handled within a non-smoking environment. Nothing spoilt my pleasure when play-grading this quality live double. It will prove difficult to find significantly better and can be strongly recommended.

* As played-graded on a high-end Linn LP12 Sondek turntable with Ittok Mk II arm and Ortofon Quintet Black moving coil cartridge tracking at 2.2 grams. Records are a ‘contact’ format, and few will avoid the odd minor sound blemish.

I am one of the most established sellers on Ebay, trading since 2001 and offering the finest records I can find. I pride myself on offering a variety of genres to keep my site as interesting as possible. I will rarely offer any record that falls below a true Excellent grading, unless its of a certain rarity which will justify offering a lesser grade. I try, to the best of my ability to describe as accurately and as honesty all elements of the items I offer for sale. You may notice I only submit records quite sparingly on Ebay as I Play-Grade every record I offer in their entirety – also on higher-end equipment – not just bits to guess a grade – visuals alone do not always tell a true story. I will try to mention any defects or flaws no matter how small that I notice to be fair as possible to any interested collector – I am very fussy and my buyers have the right to be too. Every record I offer, whether it be a common or rare item deserves the same respect as far as I am concerned and will be treated the same – just because an item is rare does not always mean it’s good. I get just as much pleasure offering a relatively common record in near mint condition as the real rare items. All the pictures I use for your guidance are the item being offered with no digital enhancements. Room light factors can make things vary sometimes, that is hard to control, especially in winter. I hope the item below is to your liking – any questions can be emailed and I will do my best to answer you. I am enthusiastic, and have a fair degree of knowledge about many genres and I promise quality items. Please assume all records I offer have NO jumps, sticks, major warps or writing on covers or labels unless clearly stated to the contrary. Thanks for your interest and Good luck – MIKE.

Deck: Linn LP12/Hercules/Cirkus with Ittok Mk II arm and Ortofon Quintet Black moving coil cartridge (tracks at 2 grams). Amps: Naim Supernait 2 with Project USB phono stage and Tellerium Black interconnects. Speakers: B&W 805 Nautilus (bi-wired with Tellurium Black terminated cable) with REL subwoofer. All records I offer on Ebay are cleaned on a professional Nessie vacuum machine before play-grading for the cleanest and best possible sound and will include a brand new lined inner and protective cover too.

PACKING – THIS IS WHAT YOU GET.

What You Get: To confirm to the strict Ebay rules on shipping, I must now send ALL my packets ‘Signed-For’ with NO exceptions. Both buyers and sellers want their packets to have a safer journey and this is not a bad thing.

I will then cancel the dispute to end the bid, again after the mandatory FOUR days and then offer the item to the runner-up or relist. The non-payer will also be blocked from my Ebay site as will any suspicious bids or bid bid retractions. Small businesses need prompt payment to trade and these strict rules WILL be applied.

Payment Conditions:

I prefer PayPal from­ winning bidders. I only accept PayPal from overseas bidders or direct payment into my bank account.

Potential Bidders: I will cancel any bids I feel are time-wasters. A maximum 2 days for communication and 7 days for payment to arrive – if not I will relist the item or offer to the runner-up.

SOME GENERAL GUIDES TO WEAR AND CONDITIONS TO HELP YOU DECIDE

My Use of Description Terminology: Surface Marks = Superficial, usually light marks, hairlines or light scuffs that rarely sound. Scratch = a needle mark that goes below the record’s surface, some will sound, some will not, my play-grade will inform. Original = a record that has been pressed with the first label design which does NOT necessarily mean a very first pressed record. First Pressing = A record that I believe or know to be a genuine very first pressed record. I do not claim to always know for sure, and that’s why I state the stamper and matrix numbers if at all possible, for those who claim to know what they all mean, the information is there for the collector to decide. I prefer to use terms like ‘Early Copy’ rather than ‘First Pressing’ if I am not totally sure. Surface Sound = Mild, light sound, usually light crackle or similar. Distortion = Break up of the actual sound caused by groove wear or damage from a chipped stylus – the most undesirable form of unwanted sound, vintage mono records were the most prone to this happening but not exclusively so. The symptoms of distortion are high frequency clipping, moderate constant crackle or an echo type sound quality. Violin, piano and vocals are most prone to groove-wear distortion. Feathering = Fraying or softening of the entry edge of a cover. Covers with feathered entrance edges are more likely to have had the actual record inserted and removed more than a non-feathered, sharp-edged cover which are always far more attractive. Set Off, a printer’s term for dark ink leaving mild residue on pale or white ink when rested upon. e.g. when a gatefold cover has black ink closed against white, this can leave some black residue on the pale area – this is mostly unavoidable or course.
