Description

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RECORD HAS BEEN VACUUM CLEANED ON BOTH SIDES USING MY PROJECT PRO CLEANING MACHINE THANK YOU .
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL RECORDS , CD's , CASSETTES AND DVD's ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED FROM START TO FINISH INCLUDING ALL SIDES FOR ALL DOUBLE AND TRIPLE ALBUMS AND BOX SETS 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 " Very Good Condition " 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 great 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 Very Good 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 , more better than very good and closer to near ( if not ) excellent and i do pride myself on this fact , this is why i do use mainly " Very Good " 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 , but as i say please do check my feedback and you will see you can bid with confidence , thank you .

Little Richard Here's Little Richard LP UK Plum Pro Cleaned See Details . On UK London Plum / Silver Print HA-C 2055 . Has the rear square edged flipbacks on the top and bottom edges and the rear is the plainer black and white version ( no red or orange on Little Richard ) . 
COVER: Before i start i will say that the cover is only in a poor / fair condition , so i'm not going to do a full breakdown of everything as i normally do , i have gone with a low grade but some may say it's a bit better overall and it is pretty much all intact with no serious large tears etc . The front has had all of the laminate removed at some point and there are some light greying patches in places , quite a few laminate crack lines round the edges and a bit of discolouration on the left hand half of the bottom edge and a little just above the bottom left hand corner . Not much in the way of surface marks , just some hairlines and some crease lines towards the opening edge , these are the same as you see on the laminate when it's there , three or four other general crease line marks in places maily on the upper opening edge and one near the top left corner . Heavy fraying and denting on both opening edges and quite a bit of wear on the right hand side corners , the usual ringwear marks but actually these are quite light . The edges aren't too bad at all with just the crack lines present caused by the one's round the edges . The flipbacks are pretty much intact , again with crack lines present and there is some heavy wear near the top left corner , i think pretty much all can be seen in the photos using the zoom facility . The rear does have grubby age / use related marks and some pale browning spot marks present and three tiny blue spot marks in places , not much in the way of creasing and again there are just quite light ringwear marks present with just a quite light impression of the outer edge of the record and some quite light rubbing on this impression . The poly lined , printed on one side ( light grey print ) inner sleeve does have creasing present and browning mainly on and just near to the edges , there are also some use / age related grubby marks in places , the creases are mainly towards the corners and are the usual ones that are seen and mainly caused by the outer edge of the record , there is some wear present on the top opening edges and a few knicks ( heavier towards the one corner ) , there are also three or four small tears in places on the top opening edges , there is some light wear on the edges and wear on the corners , as i say , heavier on the top corners , i can't confirm if this is the original inner sleeve , but it is consistent with the era and label make . As i say this cover is far far far from perfect but overall still a pretty much intact example .
LABELS: London plum / silver print paper labels generally in good overall condition . Generally still nice and clean overall , but there is a small name written near the top on S2 label but this is quite faint only , there are also three very small grey coloured spot marks near the edge of the spindle hole on S1 label , again , i think pretty much all can be seen in the photos using the zoom facility , there are some usual but quite light spindle marks present on both labels and all of the text is still lovely and clear with no rubbing on the silver colour .
RECORD: The overall visual grade under normal average household light conditions is a strong very good condition on the playing surface with mostly just some usual but generally light hairline surface marks on both sides ( a few slightly more visible than others ) and a couple of extremely faint scuff type marks in places , but these really are very very light and very faint indeed , there are also two or three tiny very light hairline scratches in places , but these again are very light only and tiny in size , some of the more finer hairlines i will say are also only more visible when held at certain angles to or under a light , there are no nasty large deep gouges / nasty large deep scratches etc . I will say that there is what appears to be a line which runs round the blank run off just before the actual very end of the run off on both sides , they do appear to be done as part of the manufacturing process and to me appear to be machine done but obviously i can't confirm this in saying this , they can be felt , it passes through the line on both sides with just a brief though audible noise as it passes through it , i must admit i am at a loss to know what this line is . As i don't know what they are and because of the noise , to be sure , all i did in the end on my second testing was to just take the arm off when the record had finished and before it reached the line and again to be sure i would also recommend this action if you are unsure , actually i doubt most people would have even mentioned them , but as you know , i do like to be thorough with all my descriptions , i have shown this in the last photo so you can see exactly what i mean . Obviously this had no affect on the music playback at all as it is just on the run offs .
AUDIO A SIDE: It plays beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really very little in the way of obvious noise and there was no nasty loud prolonged crackle and no nasty loud ticks , amazingly hardly any obvious noise worthy of mention , there was no nasty crackle and no nasty loud ticks , in fact all i heard was the briefest extremely faint odd bits of background only static type noise in a very very few odd places only , but this really was minimal , brief , very occasional and faint background only and mainly being on T1 and on the start / first part of T2 , anything else really was extremely minimal indeed , ultra ultra occasional background only , there was just a very very few usual but very light odd isolated pops in places mainly just on some quieter parts , but any ( really very few ) were very light only and most barely heard . There are obviously some usual and often louder noises ( mostly odd ticks or pops but certainly nothing excessive ) heard on the silent run ins/offs and silent track changeover lines , though i must say that even some of the silent changeover lines were quite quiet indeed overall . This side on the music really does play and sound great and the audio tones are still awesome . There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a very nice shine . I really must say , for it's age and popularity and obviously a lot of the records being near trashed or heavily marked beyond recognition, this side plays and sounds really nice on the music , in fact one of the better ones that i've heard in a long time .
AUDIO B SIDE: It plays perfectly crisp and clear throughout on the music playback a little more noise in odd places only than on S1 but still very light background only , nothing overly loud and certainly not excessive at all . T1 just had some very very light background static type noise in a few odd places , though very light only . T2 had a tiny tiny bit of very brief very faint background static mainly on the first part .T3 had a very brief very light "sch" noise on the intro only , really very light only , also the odd light tick in places ( certainly nothing deafening ) and again some very light mostly background static type noise in places , again mainly on the first part . T4 had a very few odd light ticks towards the end . There were the odd few other very light usual isolated pops in places , but any of these ( not that many at all ) were very very light only . There is some usual and often louder noises on the silent run ins / offs and the silent track changeover lines , but i will say that bar the odd tick and pop , some of the silent track changeover lines were generally quite quiet overall . This side again on the music really does still play and sound great overall on the music and the audio tones are still awesome . There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a nice shine . Overall a great sounding example .
Thank you very much for your time and interest and happy bidding . Please do read the following ref record gradings explained thank you . 
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 . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
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 , Ebays 10% extra fee for seller postage costs plus their other fees and Paypal now charging 20p per item sold on Ebay plus their other fees . 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 and don't agree with making money from postage and with all the added fees / extra stiffeners etc , most of my records including LP's sell for between £2 and £6 so all of this whilst not sounding a lot , does soon mount up and i actually do lose 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 .
