ARTISTE, RECORD TITLE  AND LABEL

TIMEBOX

Deram DM 194 ( pressed in England )  

 

TRACK LISTING

 

Side 1:   Beggin'

Side 2:    A Woman That's Waiting

 

An original 1968 English Deram 45 housed in a UK Deram generic company sleeve(GCS). As this came from the personal collection of one of our radio DJs, both sides of the label carry his signature as was the practice in those days. In addition, each side has a squarish cellophone sticker. The GCS has the name of the group and the title track written on one side.

 

 

GRADING RESULTS:

 

 

The vinyl looks Mint with no visible lines. Side 2 of the label has a couple of faint spindle lines but side 1 does not have any. Tracking at 1.7g on a Linn LP12 with a Lyra Heliokon SL cartridge mounted on a Naim ARO tonearm, there was a very occasional light click which was not intrusive. I would grade the playing as Near Mint.

 

How I Clean and  Grade my Records

Cleaning: Cleaning is usually done on a Loricraft PRC 4 cleaning machine  using the US made Walker Audio 3 step process.

Playback Equipment: Playback is through a Linn LP12 turntable/Armeggedon/Naim Aro tonearm/Linn Troika cartridge and through a brace of active Naim 250s/135s into Naim DBL speakers. For 45s I use a second Linn/Lingo/Aro/Lyra Helikon SL.

I use both Goldmine and Rare Record Price Guide grading system as a guide and came up with the following:

·       Mint  I only use this for sealed items. The record is virtually unplayed and is in a brand new condition. Cover is pristine. Up till now, I have never used this grading and, chances are, never will, due to my conservative nature in matters of record grading.

·       Near Mint  Very little or negligible flaws. Faint lines or very faint creasing  on laminated covers visible under a strong light is acceptable but nothing serious. Records which show some signs of having been played such as very faint spindle marks are allowed but there should be no lessening in sound quality. .

·       Excellent   Item obviously played, though not often,and enjoyed with some slight noise. The record should be nice and shiny but may have a few light marks which should not intrude on play. Slight wear on cover is acceptable. 

·         Very Good Many more imperfections which are noticeable but not obtrusive. The record has been played several times but there should be no major deterioration in sound quality despite some noticeable surface marks and light scratches. Normal wear and tear or writings on the cover  is acceptable but there should not be any major tears.

I do not offer any records below Very Good  unless its extremely rare. 

Shipping costs
