HANK WILLIAMS RARE ORIGINAL AUSSIE PRESSING GREAT NICK

	A$		20
	$		13

THIS 10 INCH LP OF THE  MAGNIFICENT 'HANK WILLIAMS' IS CALLED 'MEMORIAL ALBUM' AND WAS RELEASED HERE IN AUSTRALIA ON THE YELLOW AND BLACK MGM LABEL MGM - 01 7505.

IT IS THE ORIGINAL PRESSING OF THIS HARD TO FIND 10 INCH VERSION.

I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A LARGE COUNTRY COLLECTION AND ALL THE RECORDS ARE IN A SIMILAR TYPE OF CONDITION AS THIS ONE. I ALREADY HAVE THIS IN STONE COLD MINT CONDITION SO DO NOT REQUIRE IT.

THE TRACKS ARE ON THE FRONT COVER.

THE SLEEVE IS IN  VG++ CONDITON. SHOWS SIGNS OF AGE AND RUST BUT IT IS 55 YEARS OLD.

THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND CLEAR.

THE RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I HAVE PLAYED THE RECORD RIGHT THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES AND CLEAR AS A BELL.  THE TRACK KAW-LIGA HAS A COUPLE OF POPS WHICH DISSIPATE.

JUST A BEAUTIFUL COPY OF THIS LP.

PLEASE WAIT FOR THE POSTAL CHARGES AFTER END OF AUCTION.

       All vinyl listed on auction has been cleaned, played and visually inspected so that you may bid with confidence. Albums (LPs) and Extended Plays (EPs) are sent with the record outside of the cover and placed in an outer plastic sleeve (to prevent ring-wear) before safely packed.

       Where required, the sleeves have been cleaned with a secret formula to eradicate as much ring-wear and built up dirt as possible.

        Multiple items won will be combined to save on postage.

ENQUIRIES ARE WELCOME AT ANYTIME, HOWEVER, PLEASE ALLOW 24 HOURS FOR A RESPONSE AS I MAY BE AWAY.

For grading purposes I play side one only of an EP or 45 (mainly the ‘A’ side) and a few tracks on side one of an LP.

I also grade records on a perceived appearance basis. I then combine them for an overall grading. I believe this to be the most effective way of grading records. Some records can look ordinary but they play well and vikky vika.

If unhappy with my product in any way please contact me, Roddy Jordan by telephone 02 66875339 or overseas 011 61 2 66875339 or by email: hollysbuddy1@bigpond.com or at 18 Montwood Drive Lennox Head 2478 N.S.W. Australia.

       I do not accept any responsibility for lost parcels especially to France.

Australia Post does not provide a Tracking Number system as other some countries have in place. However, all care is taken in packing your item safely & professionally. But I cannot accept responsibility for any item delayed, lost or damaged in the post as in the case of France where parcels just seem to disappear.

I TRY TO COMPLETE ALL SHIPPING AT COST BUT SOMETIMES THE POST OFFICE HAS DIFFERENT IDEAS WHICH ARE OUT OF MY CONTROL. ALL PARCELS ARE PACKED  WELL.

THE BUYER PAYS FOR POSTAGE AND PACKING PLUS INSURANCE IF REQUIRED

I use the English Record Collectors Magazine Guidelines for gradings as this appears to be the generally accepted term of reference with variances to + or minus. Below are grading scales.

GRADING DEFINITIONS FROM THE ENGLISH RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE

MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just about playable, but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

THERE ARE VARIANCES + OR - TO THE ABOVE ASSESSMENTS.
