GLENDA COLLINS-THOU SHALT NOT STEAL TYPE 7" SINGLE LABEL HMV CAT NO POP 1475 YEAR 1965 COUNTRY OF ORIGIN UK SLEEVE COMPANY INSERTS/EXTRAS NONE What a great record - the A side is an uptempo beat tune with some great Joe Meek production values -staccato guitar and machine gun drum which all seem out of place but all fit perfectly,but the Bside tune is a hoot its Joe Meek does ska beat with echoed backing vocals and bits of rhythm that are completely out of time - pure brilliance. Please read this: Over the many years that I involved myself in the music business I always squirreled away some of the better copies that passed my way,to the point that I have multiple complete runs of stuff by the Beatles,Stones,Kinks,Who etc,and some rare and other classic 60's sounds.Now as part of my efforts to unwind my collection I will be continually listing some of these very nice records,and I mean nice ,some of this stuff I bought way back in the 70's when I first started, and have been with me ever since,and they were very nice copies then.Just thought I'd let you know .Cheers GRADING DISC(s) EXCELLENT+ LABELS EXCELLENT+ SLEEVE MINT INNERS N/A   Please note than when selling a single that is supplied with a company sleeve we prefer to use a new reproduction,and is indicated by MINT in the sleeve grading.We know from experience that some buyers prefer originals and we do carry large stocks of original sleeves,if you wish us to change the sleeve before despatch please let us know and we will endeavour to accommodate your request,a grade less than new indicates that the item is already supplied with an original.All "plain" sleeves supplied are new. All of our records are subject to close scrutiny before listing, and to ensure that we are accurate with our interpretation are carefully examined under a strong viewing light and played on a high end deck - We will never list a record that jumps,sticks,or is subject to so much background noise that the listening pleasure is radically impaired.We use the grading denominations as laid down in the Rare Record Collectors Guide,but with our own revisions as laid out below.

PLAYING SURFACE

MINT The record itself is obvious by its look and feel that it has never been removed from its inner sleeve,and typified by the very action of removal from a lined sleeve,where it has a very light friction against the poly,and a sheen across the playing surface that hasn't been dulled by the passage of a stylus,and requires no effort to remove any traces of foreign matter in the grooves,other than a cursory wipe with a soft cloth,and with a sound reproduction that you would expect from a piece of unplayed vinyl.   MINT- Again a record that has been bought and stored away,but has been removed from its sleeves,either by the owner or more often some clumsy potential second user,and has some,but not many hairline marks across the playing surface due to the action of removal and insertion,these would not be noticeable unless viewed by rotation under a viewing lamp,and definitely have no effect on the reproductive quality.   EXCELLENT++ A record that has endured only the lightest of playtime,say maybe only once or twice,and is perhaps only distinguishable by a spindlemark on the label or the presence of minimal hairline playmarks.   EXCELLENT+ The majority of records that we sell fall into this category-the RRC defines EXCELLENT as:"The record shows some signs of having been played,but there is very little lessening in sound quality", but to take this a step further,there are a multitude of records that are far better than this and deserve a higher status. These are the records that you would feel more than comfortable in receiving,they have very light playwear and no abuse marks such as needle skating,edge scuffing,or feelable scratches,and the audio quality will be as such that any previous play will be completely inaudible.   EXCELLENT As defined above-these are records that "show some signs" of being played,and by some signs we interpret ,lightish hairline markings (papercuts)that are the result of multiple removals from the sleeve,occasional visual playmarks and very light scuffing that cant be heard during playtime,and the record has the overall feel of one that has been popular but cared for.   VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD+/VERY GOOD++/VERY GOOD+++ The definition of VG is of record that has been played many times but shows no "major deterioration" despite "noticeable" surface marks and scratches.We don't care for this sort of product and don't stock them,and are of the opinion that it doesn't really matter how many +++'s you suffix the grading with its still a VG (very good)   LABELS MINT We are great believers in the fact that labels will tell you more about the life of a record than anything else,apart from playing it of course,the number and voracity of spindlemarks,the usage wear around the hole any tears stickers writing,attempts to remove or fill in blemishes all point to the previous care of the record itself,and we always detail pictorially and grade them accordingly .A MINT label is just that a perfectly clean and free from any signs that the disc has ever been near a turntable,and only used in conjunction with MINT or NEAR MINT vinyl gradings.   MINT- Both labels are perfectly clean but there will be a hint of spindlemarking ,say one or two dectectable mark on 1 label   EXCELLENT+ Again perfectly clean but with very light but noticeable spindlemarks that are the result of light but inaccurate placement on the turntable.   EXCELLENT In keeping with grading system as a whole an EXCELLENT label grading is given to a record with clean and unmarked labels that have born the brunt of moderate play but have suffered in as much that the "player" has neglected to line the record accurately which has resulted in noticeable spindlemarkings, with the occasional wayward or spidery effect,dark rooms and alcohol can exacerbate this.   EXCELLENT- Any label that has "neat" user embellishment -a small biro name ,initials or an unobtrusive sticker,obviously we will show this pictorially.   VERY GOOD/+ it is rare that we offer for sale any record where the labels have been so defaced that cosmetically the record is unpleasing to the eye,this means major tearing due to amateur sticker removal,large scale writing, using felt tip pens or the like,this can apply to any grading of vinyl! -in a nutshell if we feel that it is ugly then we don't buy it.   Postal Shipping & Handling charges Region Single Item Extra UK £2.10 £.35 Europe £3.30 £.60 USA £4.30 £.80 Japan/ROW £4.30 £.80
