ABBA Waterloo / King Kong Song rare South African 7" single -
Sunshine label - in picture sleeve
Cat # SUN 6 (Sunshine)
Vinyl:
Labels: both labels have the letter "F" written above the spindle hole, with a cross next to the "F" (please see photographs.) Record is USED and has been played before, but both sides play-grade as a strong VG or better, since there is only minimal wear and the record plays well, with a crisp and lively sound. For more information on the grading please see below. No distortion, 'skips' or 'jumps'. Both sides play right through. Sleeve: Picture sleeve has several signs of aging and wear. It has creases, pronounced ringwear, corner wear, edge wear, including a seam split to the bottom seam. There is a very small tear near the bottom seam (back of the cover, beneath "Marketed and Distributed by Trutone (Pty.) Ltd."). The opening has some wear, but there are no tears. There is no writing on the cover and it is still functional. Picture sleeve grades as Poor with flaws as noted above.A note on the grading:
Grading is not an exact science. We try to grade conservatively. We don't use "EX" or "VG++" or "EX-".
Vinyl:
Sealed records will be listed as "Sealed" and are presumed to be in Mint condition.
If the record appears to be in flawless condition without any defects it will be graded as "Near Mint".
Any scuffs, scratches or marks and the record will be graded as "VG+". Typically this will mean a lightly played record with minimal and/ or occasional surface noise only.
A better-than-average used record. A relatively quiet copy.
The grading "VG" will be applied to a record which has been played a number of times and plays with some usually intermittent surface noise in the form of low level or background crackle, 'clicks', 'pops' etc. However, although surface noise is present and is part of the listening experience, it should not overwhelm the music or be especially intrusive,
An average used record. Some moderate surface noise.
A record graded as "VG-" will play with surface noise which is often distracting or intrusive and 'competing' with the music. It should still however play through without 'skips' or 'jumps' and should still be listenable.
A below-average used record. Not trashed - playable, but somewhat noisy.
A record graded as “G” will either have ‘skips’ or jumps, sound terribly noisy incl. possible distortion in the vocals and/ or be unplayable. An abused record. Only value is in its rarity or as a ‘placeholder’ copy.
With many records play is variable. This will be reflected in the grading as, for example:
VG-/VG or VG/VG+ or VG-/VG/VG+
Cover:
Like new – pristine –9 or 10 out of 10
Very Good – minor defects only, such as a tiny mark or crease, or a hint of corner wear – will otherwise be almost flawless –7 or 8 out of 10
Good – light wear is evident, but cover still intact, with (for example) legible spine, some shine to laminate, no serious ring wear etc., well preserved –5 or 6 out of 10
Acceptable/ Fair – far more noticeable wear, incl. ring wear, corner wear, seam splits etc. although cover is still intact, functional –4 out of 10
Poor – shocking condition incl. pronounced ring wear, seam splits, writing, dirt etc.
–3 out of 10 or less
