A QUICK MESSAGE TO ALL MY FOLLOWERS , APOLOGIES FOR MY RECENT ABSENCE , AFTER NEARLY A YEAR OFF FROM DEALING WITH ANY RECORDS DUE TO LOOKING AFTER AND THEN THE SUDDEN VERY SAD LOSS OF MY FATHER , I AM NOW BACK WITH A GREAT SELECTION OF MANY VERY RARE RECORDS AND OBVIOUSLY MY USUAL AND OTHER VERY COLLECTABLE 7" AND LP RECORDS , I HAVE LOTS OF FANTASTIC RECORDS TO LIST SO PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON MY LISTINGS , MANY THANKS . 


PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OF MY 7" AND 12" VINYL RECORDS ARE PRO CLEANED ON MY PROJECT VACUUM CLEANING MACHINE , THANK YOU .
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL RECORDS , CD's , CASSETTES AND DVD's ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED FROM START TO FINISH ON BOTH SIDES AND INCLUDING ALL SIDES FOR ALL DOUBLE AND TRIPLE ALBUMS AND BOX SETS ETC THANK YOU .
ALL RECORDS ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED ON MY TRUSTY AIWA TURNTABLE AND GOOD QUALITY JVC AMP . THIS DOES ONLY HAVE A STD BASS AND TREBLE CONTROL WHICH I HAVE SET ON A HIGH " TINNY " SETTING . I LIKE TO SET IT LIKE THIS AS IT PICKS UP EVEN THE VERY SLIGHTEST BIT OF NOISE SO I KNOW I CAN DESCRIBE EVERY LP CORRECTLY ETC . I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT PLAYED ON BETTER OR TOP QUALITY SYSTEMS WITH GREATER AND MORE TECHNICAL SOUND CONTROL ETC , THESE RECORDS WILL SOUND A LOT BETTER THAN I HAVE DESCRIBED . I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I OFTEN GIVE RECORDS ANOTHER QUICK PLAY ON THE FIRST COUPLE OF TRACKS ON MY PERSONAL TOP QUALITY PIONEER SYSTEM AND I DO FIND THAT MOST OF ANY NOISES LIKE CRACKLE ETC ARE MUCH MUCH QUIETER , SOME EVEN HARDLY SOUND AT ALL . I TEST EVERY RECORD AND FIND THAT MY AIWA WILL COVER MANY OTHER SIMILAR SET UPS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE , I DID WANT TO JUST POINT THIS OUT , THANK YOU .
Please note that i do tend to use in and around the " Very Good / near excellent Condition " grade for most of my records , although none are heavily scratched etc and most will just have some general light surface marks only . The only exception to this is if the record does have scratches and lots of marks etc but is very rare and collectable and will be described in greater detail . I never use " Mint " or " Near Mint " unless the record is unopened from it's original shrink wrap and is clearly unplayed . Even with these i am wary because if the record has been stored for years in maybe a damp garage or loft etc and has not been opened , then we can only presume it should be mint because we obviously can't actually see the record . Everyone obviously has their own opinions as to what is very good and excellent , but in my case , i tend to think that most , if not all records do have marks to some degree ( lots even from new ! ) purely because they are vinyl and mark easy and have been used over a considerable amount of time in most cases . This is why i use between Very Good and near excellent most of the times . This is also why i do go into great detail with my descriptions , as the term " Very Good " can be a bit vague . I do use " Excellent Condition " sometimes , but in my case , i would class this as not played very much at all , excellent shine and just a handful of the very lightest and small surface hairline marks only , most only being visible under a light , so you know that when i use excellent , i really do mean excellent . Lots of my records as you can see by my feedback are better than described , ie better than very good and closer to near ( if not actually ) excellent and i do pride myself on this fact , this is why i do use mainly between Very Good and near excellent , but with very detailed descriptions also of which i will say i can go a little OTT with noise and general condition and can often make a record sound bad when it really isn't , i do just try my best to say how it is , please don't forget though , that all records will obviously vary in sound quality etc on other set ups depending on the quality and type of turntable / amps and stylus etc that are being used , but please do check out all of my feedback and you will see you can bid with confidence , thank you .

Darlene Love (Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry 7" VERY RARE DEMO See Details . Original demo copy not the later " Demand Performance " copy which featured the track on the B side of London Catalogue No HLU 10244 ( I also have a copy of this to list ) . On UK London four prong yellow / black print labels HL 9725 . B SIDE Playing For Keeps .   
COVER: Factory paper sleeve generally in good overall condition . A few light general age related / surface / handling marks and fading in places , mainly just a few age related browning , mostly spot marks in places on and just near to the edges . The usual ring wear marks are present and there are some other bits of creasing / denting in places mainly towards the corners and there are the usual more prominent creases / dent lines caused by the  impression of the outer edge of the record towards the corners . Some normal useage / age related wear on the top opening edges and a very few tiny knicks , but mainly dent and crease wear . There is a very small knick / tear on the centre circle cut out edge on one side . Some usual bits of denting / creasing etc on the corners and some general rub wear on the edges . The top corner ends have started to come unglued , though as i say this is just on and just below the ends only and is an easy glue repair , the sleeve is writing free , obviously i can't confirm if this is the original sleeve . I will also be putting the record into a new plain white paper sleeve .

LABELS: Four prong yellow / black print paper labels generally in excellent condition . Very nice and clean overall with just a very very few usual very light spindle marks . Both labels are writing free .
RECORD: The overall visual grade of the playing surface under normal average household light conditions is a very very strong very good condition though i think most would say better and i think most would say far better than very good , but i prefer to under grade , there are just some very light and fine mainly hairline and whispy type hairline surface marks and just a very very few other still very light non feelable surface marks on both sides , there are no nasty deep feelable gouges / nasty deep scratches whatsoever , i will also say that a lot of the finer hairlines and actually some of the very few very light surface marks are really only more visible when held at certain angles to or under a light . Please see below for audio description .
AUDIO A SIDE: Silent run in has some usual but light noise . It plays excellent , beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really very little at all in the way of obvious noise that was worthy of mention , i just heard a brief bit of extremely light noise on the intro and very start and possibly a couple of other super brief , very faint background only bits in quieter places , but these really were extremely light and brief indeed and just what i would class as " vinyl noise " there was no nasty loud continuous crackle and no nasty loud ticks , there may have just been the odd very very faint isolated pop in places that i may have missed . Silent run off has some usual but light noise . This side on the music really does play and sound fantastic overall and the audio tones are still awesome . 
AUDIO B SIDE: Silent run in has some usual light noise . A much quieter track this one . It still plays and sounds great , plays crisp and clear throughout on the music playback . There is some crackle noise and the odd very light isolated pop present , mainly on the first part and towards the very end , but i must stress that this was really very light only , a lot actually being just in the background and there was certainly nothing that overpowered the music or vocals in any way , again what i class as usual vinyl noise nearly always heard on older pieces of vinyl , but as i say , light only , but obviously it can be heard so needed mentioning . Silent run off has some usual louder noise . 
There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a good shine . 
All in all a good overall example of this now very collectable and rare item . Thank you very much for your time and interest and happy bidding . Considering the rarity , i am starting this off with a very low price , but make no mistake , this record can still be thoroughly enjoyed .
Please note that whilst I haven’t increased my postage charges for quite a while now , this now other recent price increase , has seen me unfortunately have to put a slight increase on my postage charges . This is also topped with the rise in cost for quality card mailers , jiffy bags , stiffeners , other packaging materials etc plus Ebays fees incl fees for seller postage costs ( 12.8% included in the total selling price ) plus their other now higher fees of 12.8% plus it's also now i think 35p per item sold . Please also note that I now send ALL non GF LP’s / 12" singles with a minimum of 3 stiffeners and all 7" singles with a minimum of 2 stiffeners ( more if i think they are needed ) , i never do and don't agree with making money from postage , but with all the added fees / extra stiffeners etc , all of this whilst not sounding a lot , does soon mount up and i actually do end up losing money on posting records , but I do obviously want to still remain competitive and still offer my usual top quality service , sorry again for this , thank you .
