Mother/Stamper 1G / 1G
KT Tax Code
Extremely rare 7" single. Came with a Parlophone sleeve, which is included, but it will be dispatched with the correct green Columbia sleeve. The record has also been placed in a clean, new white paper sleeve.
The record has been ultrasonically cleaned.
CONDITION
Examined under a strong halogen lamp, both sides have a covering of faint sleeve withdrawal marks that are only really visible under the lamp, and the odd very light and small scratch A visual grade of Good+
When played on a Pro-ject Debut III turntable both sides play with just a light background crackle that is pretty much drowned out by the music and is only really noticeable during the silence of the run-in and run-off. Generally, the music is very clear, sharp and loud and not at all tainted by any surface noise. I am happy to give it a play-grade of Very Good
Does not skip or stick.
Both labels show some very slight wear, including faint spindle trails.

GOOD + / -
GRADING GUIDE - IMPORTANT!
I visually examine all records under a strong 35w halogen lamp, which shows up ALL defects.
I strictly grade my records according to the Record Collector / Rare Record Price Guide (RRPG) guidelines, which, means to me as follows:
MINT- Must be sealed
NEAR MINT - Totally unmarked, no scratches, not even faint 'hairlines' / sleeve withdrawal marks or any other signs of having been played.
EXCELLENT - No scratches, just signs of having been played, such as the odd faint 'hairline' sleeve withdrawal mark that is only visible under the lamp.
VERY GOOD - The first mild scratches have begun to appear, but only very, very few.
GOOD - More scratches than Very Good and more severe, but I am confident that the record will play through without skips or sticking and will still provide a good listening experience.
FAIR - The record may not play through properly with a chance of it jumping and / or it will play with significant background noise.
POOR - It definitely won't play without skipping or sticking.
Below Near Mint I will use a plus or minus suffix with a grade to highlight fine differences.
COVER GRADES
I try to ensure that my cover grades are EXACTLY as stated in Record Collector magazine / RRPG. Therefore, if a cover is defaced, or torn I won't grade it better than Fair or Good. However, if the fault is relatively minor and the rest of the cover is overwhelmingly of a certain grade then I will use this grade.
All our records are dispatched using AT LEAST stiffeners and card mailers.
