Hi and welcome to my auction. All my auctions will start at £0,99 with NO reserve, so grab a bargain. Please read everything carefully here, so you won’t miss anything. My seller feedback is 100% positive so you can bid with confidence. Grading a record is always very hard, as everyone got their own grading system. I always check my records under a critical light so there won’t be any surprises (many sellers don’t do this), so I will see even the lightest hairlines and sleeve removal lines which you won’t see in normal room light. I’m a collector myself, so I do my best to be honest with my grading. Please see my grading system in the bottom of this page. Thanks for reading everything and happy bidding!!!

What I have for sale here is:

Artist: David Bowie
Titles: Memory Of A Free Festival Part 1 b/w Memory Of A Free Festival Part 2
Label: Mercury
Cat#: 6052 026
Made in: England (1970)

Description: Extremely RARE David Bowie's Memory of a Free Festival Part 1/2. This one is an original 1970 UK demo on the Mercury label…

Condition: VG+/VG (Single/Cover)
There are quite many sleeve removal lines and couple of hairlines to be seen under my unforgiving halogen lamp, but NO scratches! It plays excellent with only slight crackle in the beginning of both sides. Center of the label is missing. Comes with Mercury company sleeve, which have tears on the other side (see pics), but NO splits!

Grading (Record):
This is my grading system. I’m very strict when grading a record. Mostly my VG+ grade is most sellers EX. Also, I don’t use VG+++ or EX+++++ like some sellers do…

NM (NEAR MINT)
This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.

EX (EXCELLENT)
Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a few hairline scratches but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.

VG+ (VERY GOOD+)
Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Might have a light click or two, but NO skips or jumps. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections but otherwise clean.

Grading (Cover):

NM (NEAR MINT)
Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.

EX (EXCELLENT)
Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.

VG+ (VERY GOOD+)
Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.

Payment by Paypal or bank transfer (IBAN).
