HEADIN' FOR A HEATWAVE/I WANNA BE WITH YOU

7" SINGLE BY THE SPECTRUM

U.K. RCA VICTOR RECORDS (RCA 1651)

YEAR: 1967

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1st PRESSING ON THE BLACK RCA VICTOR LABEL. OVERALL, VISUALLY, THE RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION SHOWING NOTHING EXCEPT THE ODD NEAR INVISIBLE HAIRLINE/BRUSHLINE ON EITHER SIDE. ACTUALLY VERY CLOSE TO NEAR MINT. THE ONLY MARK WORTH NOTING IS A TINY ONE ON THE 'A' SIDE THAT CAUSES A BARELY AUDIBLE TICK FOR TWO REVOLUTIONS, SO ONLY VERY MINOR. WILL GRADE AS EX BUT, OVERALL, THE 'A' SIDE IS EX+. THERE ARE NO NEEDLE LINES OR SCRATCHES AND NOTHING THAT WILL CAUSE AN ISSUE WHEN PLAYING. A LOVELY COPY.

LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT TO NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO WRITING, TEARS OR STICKERS AND JUST A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE.

COMES IN ORIGINAL COMPANY SLEEVE.

 BOTH SIDES PLAY THROUGH GREAT WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. THERE IS NO OBVIOUS BACKGROUND NOISE AND VIRTUALLY NO SURFACE NOISE/FLUTTER ON THE RUN IN/OUT. BOTH SIDES PRODUCE A GOOD STRONG SOUND WITH NO REAL EVIDENCE OF USE. VERY TINY EDGE WARP BUT THIS HAS NO EFFECT ON PLAYBACK WHATSOEVER. A LOVELY COPY OF THIS RARE UK NON HIT.

GRADING:

SIDE ONE (visual)      EX   

SIDE TWO (visual)     EX+     

SIDE ONE (audio)     EX(+)

SIDE TWO (audio)   EX+      

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 still be very acceptable copies.

    EXCELLENT -: Record will show slightly more marks than an Excellent but not sufficient to drop it into the Very Good Plus catagory. Any marks will be purely superficial and will not be audible. a record that would otherwise be Excellent but has, perhaps, one light needle line will fall into this catagory. There may be very light audible noise on the run in/out but no scratches. The sound quality will still be perfectly acceptable although it will be obvious that the record has had a few plays.

    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. 

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING.
