THE ROLLING STONES - Bye Bye Johnny
Original Spanish 7" EP
Decca (SDGE 80651)
Very rare debut Spanish EP on the blue Tri Centre Decca label. Housed in a glossy flipback sleeve. So few of these ever turn up for sale, one of the rarest of the European EP's. This copy is certainly not mint, but these are practically impossible to find even in excellent condition. Plays really well.
Matrix:
Side 1) QEI-6416
Side 2) QEI-6415
The labels are in vg++ condition with light spindle wear & a fair amount of spider marks. There is no writing, no stickers & no sticker tears. More often than not these turn up without the tri centre still attached. Nice to find one with the centre. The vinyl shows a lot of play. There are multiple tiny scuff marks, especially on the run in's on both sides. There is also some dull scuff marks & the odd short hairline but nothing that can be felt. The playback is excellent, hardly any crackle even between the tracks, a very well pressed record.
The Sleeve is in vg condition, but a strong vg & better than the last copy i saw sold. No writing, no tears & no splits. General wear, creasing, light bend or two & some very light discolouration/ringwear. All in all a solid vg/vg copy with great playback. Please note that this grading has nothing to do with the age of the record, we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 4 days old.
For the last 20 years we have been looking through 100's & even 1,000's of records every week, but we still only pull out a tiny percentage to sell on.
Condition
Sleeve: VG (No splits, tears or writing. Some creasing, couple of light bends, slight ringwear/discolouration)Record: VG (shows quite a lot of play with lots of micro scuffs, the odd dull scuff & short hairline, No scratches & playback is great)
Our grading is strict so as not to dissapoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under a 100 Watt bulb. Scans are of actual item up for auction. All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.

Near Mint
Almost mint.Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care.Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.
Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.
VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
