 Year of Release: 2012

 Label: Finders Keepers

 Extras?: Absolutely mint unplayed - 125 only in handsewn/screenprinted sleeve. Here's the info direct from the Finders Keepers website:

For this genuine handmade and time sensitive cottage project the people at Finders Keepers/B-Music/Pre-Cert have collaborated on this special release representing the genuine essence of independent music at its most self sufficient resulting in 125 bespoke items individually hand stitched and home screen printed in Manchester.

Influenced entirely by 3 classic self-funded hauteur projects from the Finders Keepers archive Miles Whittaker, Sean Canty and Andy Votel take three conceptual works by independent creatives JP Massiera (France), Billy Green and Sandy Harbutt (Australia) and Bruno Spoerri (Switzerland) and dissect, re-contextualise and re-stitch some of their finest home-produced historical projects spanning 5 decades of manmade and self-motivated patchwork expermiantal pop. 

Each vinyl record features unique artwork physically depicting the needlework motif used on the recent Make Do & Mend subscription series that saw artists and forward-thinking listeners collaborate to litterally support and save Finders Keepers Records after the huge stock loss in last years London riots. 

This three track release features two peices from Demdike Stare's now sold out Make Do And Mend CD finally remastered and pressed on to vinyl due to popular demand whle the exclusive collaboration from Slant Azymuth and Bruno Spoerri echoes the sprit of Whittaker/Votel/Canty's deleted debut EP and pre-empts the forthcoming self-funded soundtrack LP of unreleased music to a experimental Swiss film due for release via Finders Keepers' Cache Cache secret siter label later this spring.

Hopefully, you can find any other info that you require via the photos - i take photos of all aspects to show you the record as fully as possible. If you have anyfurther questions then please email me and i will do my best to answer.

Condition

Sleeve - Mint 

Record - Mint Unplayed

I grade the vinyl & sleeves according to the Record Collector grading guide, the industry standard, see below for detailed descriptions of gradings.

"MINT: 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.

EXCELLENT: 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: 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: 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, discolouration, etc.

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

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.

In addition to the basic grading, any individual faults should be noted separately such as if an otherwise Excellent cover has a name written on it, or a 7" single is missing its original centre etc.

We visually check records and then test play random songs (i do not have the time to fully play grade them) and also test play any marks to check if they affect the sound quality. I will playgrade fully any records on request from people who have already placed a bid.
