Traces de surface.

Surface marks.

Guilty Razors a eu une histoire assez singulière. Durant les années 1970, marquée à Paris par les nombreuses manifestations des mouvements gauchistes, cinq jeunes musiciens influencés autant par l'atmosphère post Mai 68 que par leurs groupes fétiches (The Stooges, The Kinks, The Who ou encore le Velvet underground) décident de monter un groupe de rock. Un groupe de scène surtout, où s'exprime leur rage à travers un rock sauvage et sans concession. C'est donc naturellement qu'ils intègrent la scène punk parisienne tout juste naissante aux côtés dee Métal Urbain et Asphalt Jungle. Ils jouent au Gibus en première partie des Jam(non sans avoir osé s'en prendre aux Rickenbacker des vedettes anglaise !) et assurent également la dernière prestation du festival punk à l'Olympiaavant que le public ne détruise des dizaines de fauteuils.
Mais leur origine ouvrière et leur réputation de mauvais garçons savamment entretenue par leur manager Alexis Quinlin (qui leur avait trouvé un contrat avec le label Polydor), personnage controversé de la scène rock , va bientôt les rattraper. En mars 1978, le label résilie leur contrat, fait retirer des bacs les 5 000 exemplaires de leur premier et unique 45T intitulé : I Don't Wanna Be A Rich, dont les ventes sont très faibles, et qui finissent presque tous au pilon. Seule la centaine de disques envoyés à la presse échappent à la destruction.

Our visual grading system inspired by the Goldmine Standard:

M (MINT) Sealed, never played, new in its original packaging.

NM (NEAR MINT) Almost perfect copy, never or very rarely played. At worst, one or two surface marks, generally insignificant and due to inner sleeve. This the highest grade for an unsealed record.

EX (EXCELLENT) Very clean copy, some insignificant surfaces marks (hairlines). This record has been rarely played, on good equipment and treated with care. The cover has very minor flaws: a name or discrete initials, low wear corners, very slight ringwear.

VG + + (VERY GOOD + +) More surface marks.Minor flaws or cover wear, minor edge wear. This is generally the grade given to a 20 to 50 years old record with a "normal" life, treated with care, but listened and handled regularly by his former owner.

VG + (VERY GOOD +) Has been played a lot, shows multiple slight surface marks (hairlines) generating background noise between songs but no jump or skips. Cover shows important signs of age and storage (slice corners worn, name, date, dedication, tears, etc. ...). Generally, this record was one of the favorites among previous owner discotheque , went from hand to hand, had to animate some parties and bears the scars of a busy life.

VG (VERY GOOD) The record is very worn, has been played a lot, shows important scratches that are creating permanent background noises but do not skip or jump. Still listenable (especially at high volume for big sound). The cover is well worn, torn important corner and edge wear, significant traces of marker pen or ... well, the previous grade but more accentuated.

G (GOOD) Has been played to the hilt (but still playable on some titles), many scratches, crackles a lot while playing, may have jumps or sticks. The cover is very damaged. This record must be very rare to be proposed on sale !

We tend to exaggerate our gradations, however, in case of doubt, do not hesitate to ask questions before bidding.
