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 AND COLLECTABLES WHICH ARE FROM MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION WHICH I HAVE NOW DECIDED TO COMPLETELY SELL OFF , 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 .

The Direct Hits She Really Didn't Care 7" Scarce Signed PS Mod Revival 1985 Pro Cleaned . On UK Direct Records solid centre black and white / black print paper labels POP 001 . B SIDE: Christopher Cooper . This one has the cover signed by all three band members in biro , two signatures on the front and one on the rear .

COVER: Factory glossy card PS generally in very good overall condition and still nice and clean . This one has been signed by all three band members , there are two signatures on the front and one on the rear ( two in black and one in blue ) , all have been done in what appears to be biro , all of them are still nice and crisp and clear with just a very light bit of rubbing on the one on the rear , which also appears to be dedicated to Matthew , but this is still perfectly clear to read , i think pretty much all can be seen in the photos . A very few very light and small general age related / surface / handling marks in places and a very few tiny crease crack lines in places round the edges . The usual record outer edge and label section ring wear marks are present and there are some other bits of creasing / denting present in places mainly near the opening edges and one very light one near the top left corner on the front , there are 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 side opening edges and a very few very tiny knicks , there is also some fraying present on the very outer edge only , mainly on the front opening edge along with the already mentioned dent and crease wear . Some usual but very small bits of rubbing / denting / creasing etc on the corners , mostly just on the tips and a bit of very light general rub wear in places on the edges , bar the band members signatures , the sleeve is writing free . I will also be putting the record into a new plain white paper sleeve .
LABELS: Solid centre black and white / black print paper labels in near excellent condition , still very nice and clean with just a few usual light spindle marks , both labels are writing free .
RECORD: The overall visual grade of the playing surface under normal average household light conditions is very good condition , there are some light and fine mostly just hairline surface marks ( a few slightly more visible but certainly non feelable ) on both sides and a bit of non sounding manufacturers " marbling / " shadowing " within the vinyl itself visible on S2 and just a very few ( three or four ) other still very very light and small non feelable non sounding surface marks , there are no nasty deep feelable gouges / nasty deep scratches whatsoever , i will also say that a lot of the finer hairlines 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 generally quite light noise . It plays excellent , beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really nothing in the way of obvious noise that was worthy of mention , being a bit picky then there was the faintest extremely brief isolated bits of background noise in places on the quieter music breaks on the last parts , but these really were negligible and just isolated bits of very brief indeed and faint " vinyl noise " there was no nasty crackle and no nasty ticks , there may just have been the odd couple of faint isolated pops in places that i may have missed . Silent run off has some usual generally quite 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 generally quite light noise . It plays 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 think i'm being a bit over picky but i did hear an extremely light bit of very brief isolated crackle in places on the quieter intro and very start and couple of other quieter parts , but this really was very very light only and hardly worth a mention in my opinion being just a tiny bit of extremely light " vinyl noise " , but as you know , i do like to be thorough with all my descriptions , there was no nasty continuous crackle and no nasty loud ticks , there may just have been the odd faint isolated pop in places that i may have missed . Silent run off has some usual generally quite light noise with a quite light " sch " noise . This side on the music really does play and sound great overall and the audio tones are still awesome .
There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a 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 a good overall example of this now very collectable item . 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 , some forms of noise will more than likely be heard in places especially on the quieter parts and the odd tick or pop may also be heard in places especially on the quieter parts , but none of this will overpower any of the music in any way , light edge warps etc and some light " dishing " are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Very Good / Near Excellent: The record has obviously been played but shows no overly excessive play wear . There will be some light only surface marks though most will be just fine hairlines , there will be no major deterioration in sound quality at all though some amount of light noise / occasional light pop may be present in places especially on some of the quieter parts , but none of this will be loud or constant or overpower any of the music , the record will play through perfectly , light edge warps etc and some light " dishing " are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Near Excellent: The record has obviously been played but shows only light signs of this , a few of the lightest non feelable surface marks being mostly very fine hairlines will be present , but it displays no deterioration in sound quality . Some brief bits of very light noise and very occasional usual light pop maybe present in places and would be acceptable on some quieter parts , but none of this will be loud or constant or overpower any of the music , light edge warps etc and some light " dishing " are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Excellent : The record shows some signs of having been played , but there is very little lessening in sound quality , light edge warps etc and some light " dishing " are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail. 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 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 ) , with all the added fees / extra stiffeners and other material costs etc , all of this whilst not sounding a lot , does soon mount up and i actually do end up losing money on postage , but I do obviously want to still remain competitive and still offer my usual top quality service , sorry again for this , thank you .
