Description
This is one of hundreds of eBay auctions I’ll be posting featuring a wide selection of collectable vintage vinyl records, ranging from the out-and-out classic to the weird and wonderful obscurities! With the revival of the vinyl records continuing apace, I find it increasingly frustrating how so many second-hand outlets where I’d traditionally source used records, such as charity shops and boot sales, are clogged up with unwanted dross and ubiquitous max bygraves & ken dodd type records! Even when they do have something interesting they very often haven’t even thought about checking the condition! I’ve had a life-long love affair with vinyl and will be using eBay to share that with you and hopefully direct some of these treasures to the right home where they’ll continue to be used and enjoyed in the way they were intended, so here we have the fantastic single:
PARADISE – ONE OF THESE DAYS / YOU'RE THE ONE I NEED
This is a super rare private pressing 7” 45 released in 1977 on the Clubland label with a solid centre and the catalogue number SJP 775. It’s a real rock 'n' roll rarity!
The condition of the record is incredible and it just has to grade as a Near Mint although many would argue it’s even better than that! The sound quality is wonderful across both groovy sides! It’s so hard to find a record that has been cared for enough to still provide a pleasurable playing experience; so often these discs were thrown around or taken to parties and inevitably they’d become scratched, warped or just totally unlistenable so when they show up like this with strong vinyl sound that truly delivers in audio quality it really is to be treasured!
The cover is a card sleeve grading as a strong Near Mint! So many times you find covers like this they have bad edge scuffs and seam splits but none of that is the case here! This cover is fully intact and the only thing to mention is a tiny bit of writing by the original DJ owner on one side but that is not a serious issue at all so this really does remain a brilliant and collectable sleeve! Don’t miss out on this one!!
Gradings explained:
Mint – I only ever use this grade for a record that is brand new or one that has clearly never been played, Mint records will usually be sealed as well.
Near Mint – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.
Excellent – Close to the above grade but there may be some very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.
Very Good+ – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub or light inaudible marks and occasionally a little background crackle but nothing that’s instrusive or spoils your enjoyment of the music.
Very Good – It’s seen a bit of use but is still very usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly a used title.
Good – To be honest you’re making trouble for yourself here, as Good means Bad. The only reason to be selling something in this condition is if it’s something ultra rare and unlikely to show up again.
