FIRST PRESS, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT OF A DEMO.

 To cut a long story short.  I bought a jukebox from a commercial clearance centre, who had recently obtained it. Apparently it originally came for a pub which closed down many years ago then went into a storage warehouse and was forgotten about for many more years.  This wouldn’t normally be ‘my thing’, but I wanted the records off it – This one in particular (see my other items for sale if you are interested in the juke box itself).

The picture sleeve was in the display window of the juke box along with a 'Manfred Mann' picture sleeve from the same era (Ha ha, said the clown - also up for auction - see other items for sale) - See images below.  The demo record itself was in the juke box slection rack.  Having removed it and given it a propper clean, it is in suprisingly good condition (very good condition in fact), although the original centre has been removed.  The picture sleeve could have been in a time warp.  Slotted in behind the glass, it has dodged the ravages of time and remains in excellent condition.  Postage cost is for recorded delivery and includes insurance.

GRADINGS:  Are those used by ‘Record Collector’ magazine and ‘The Rare Record Price Guide’ (otherwise known as RRPG), both of which I contribute to by way of articles on rare records, updated guide prices and images for the RRPG web site www.rarerecordpriceguide.com .  If you subscribe to this web site, you will recognise images I have submitted from the small ‘Blue Jay’ bird in the bottom right (sometimes left) hand corner of the image.  If you do not subscribe, then I recommend that you do if you are a serious collector.  Click on the link above to sign up for a free trail. 

I try to play grade as many records as possible, but it is not always possible to do this, so if you feel that any record you have purchased is not graded accurately, please let me know.  I offer a ‘no quibble’ refund on any item if you are not 100% happy with it, provided you have not left negative feed back before contacting me.  Records which have been ‘play graded’ have been done so in my home studio on broadcast quality equipment at a comfortable listening volume.  All equipment is professional grade and includes EMT turntables, Alice (BBC spec. mixing desk), Denon (professional) amplifier and Bose 802 (installation) monitor speakers.  You may have a more or less sensitive HiFi system than this, but I believe that it provides a fair ‘industry reference’ quality grading.  Of course grading will always be subjective to some extent, which is why I offer a ‘no quibble’ refund as outlined above, should you not agree with my grading.  By way of clarification, the RRPG grading descriptions are listed below:  I will on occasions use + and – signs to indicate a grading which falls between the following descriptions in order to give a more accurate idea of condition.

E.G. M- (near mint), EX+, EX-, VG+, VG-, G+.

M – Mint - Description: 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 advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EX – Excellent - Description: 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.

VG – Very Good - Description: 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.

G – Good - Description: 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.

F – Fair - Description: 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.

P – Poor - Description: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

B – Bad -  Description: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
