Description

IF BIDDING FROM OUTSIDE THE UK THEN PLEASE NOTE THAT I USE EBAY'S GSP FOR POSTING. THESE COSTS CAN BE HIGH. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THESE PRICES THEN PLEASE DO NOT BID. For the UK any item sold over £20 will be sent tracked (£3.90) and any item over £50 will be sent special delivery (£9). Due to increased costs from third parties unfortunately I have had to raise p&p costs.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I USE THE RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM (see below) AND NOT DISCOGS!!
I am selling off some of my collection so:-
For auction here is a decent single by Slade with  Max Frost and the Trooper's 'Shape Of Things To Come' coupled with 'C'Mon C'Mon' and issued on the Fontana label TF 1079 in 1970.  This was my first introduction to the A side track and it's great. The original by Max Frost is just as good as well to be honest, it's a great song. Slade's B side ain't half bad as well! Very Good (VG) 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. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable It comes in a company sleeve.
Visibly it's looks VG minus with some surface marks. There is a name  written on the B side as well.
Audibly it plays VG+ if not better. There is some crackle on the run-in on the A side but this soon disappears. The B side is similar but you can hear a bit more crackle. It plays all the way through on both sides with no sticking and no jumps. Please do not expect a mint playback!

Please bid with confidence as I have a 100% positive feedback rating.
I am willing to post multiple items abroad which will be tracked and signed-for. Payments for this method go direct through Paypal as Ebay's GSP does not cater for multiple item sales unfortunately.
I try to adhere as closely as possible to the Record Collector Magazine grading system which is shown below as a guide. I do ad + and - to gradings for intermediate conditions. Any record described as 'Mint' will mean 'Unplayed'.

RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM

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. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some 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 the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te 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, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just 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 scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
