Description
A QUICK MESSAGE TO ALL MY FOLLOWERS , APOLOGIES FOR MY RECENT ABSENCE , AFTER NEARLY A YEAR OFF FROM DEALING WITH ANY RECORDS DUE TO LOOKING AFTER AND THEN THE SUDDEN VERY SAD LOSS OF MY FATHER , I AM NOW BACK WITH A GREAT SELECTION OF MANY VERY RARE RECORDS AND OBVIOUSLY MY USUAL AND OTHER VERY COLLECTABLE 7" AND LP RECORDS , I HAVE LOTS OF FANTASTIC RECORDS TO LIST SO PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON MY LISTINGS , MANY THANKS .
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL RECORDS , CD's , CASSETTES AND DVD's ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED FROM START TO FINISH ON BOTH SIDES AND INCLUDING ALL SIDES FOR ALL DOUBLE AND TRIPLE ALBUMS AND BOX SETS ETC THANK YOU .
ALL RECORDS ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED ON MY TRUSTY AIWA TURNTABLE AND GOOD QUALITY JVC AMP . THIS DOES ONLY HAVE A STD BASS AND TREBLE CONTROL WHICH I HAVE SET ON A HIGH " TINNY " SETTING . I LIKE TO SET IT LIKE THIS AS IT PICKS UP EVEN THE VERY SLIGHTEST BIT OF NOISE SO I KNOW I CAN DESCRIBE EVERY LP CORRECTLY ETC . I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT PLAYED ON BETTER OR TOP QUALITY SYSTEMS WITH GREATER AND MORE TECHNICAL SOUND CONTROL ETC , THESE RECORDS WILL SOUND A LOT BETTER THAN I HAVE DESCRIBED . I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I OFTEN GIVE RECORDS ANOTHER QUICK PLAY ON THE FIRST COUPLE OF TRACKS ON MY PERSONAL TOP QUALITY PIONEER SYSTEM AND I DO FIND THAT MOST OF ANY NOISES LIKE CRACKLE ETC ARE MUCH MUCH QUIETER , SOME EVEN HARDLY SOUND AT ALL . I TEST EVERY RECORD AND FIND THAT MY AIWA WILL COVER MANY OTHER SIMILAR SET UPS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE , I DID WANT TO JUST POINT THIS OUT , THANK YOU .
Please note that i do tend to use in and around the " Very Good Condition " grade for most of my records , although none are heavily scratched etc and most will just have some general light surface marks only . The only exception to this is if the record does have scratches and lots of marks etc but is very rare and collectable and will be described in greater detail . I never use " Mint " or " Near Mint " unless the record is unopened from it's original shrink wrap and is clearly unplayed . Even with these i am wary because if the record has been stored for years in maybe a damp garage or loft etc and has not been opened , then we can only presume it should be mint because we obviously can't actually see the record . Everyone obviously has their own opinions as to what is very good and excellent , but in my case , i tend to think that most , if not all records do have marks to some degree ( lots even from new ! ) purely because they are vinyl and mark easy and have been used over a considerable amount of time in most cases . This is why i use Very Good most of the times . This is also why i do go into great detail with my descriptions , as the term " Very Good " can be a bit vague . I do use " Excellent Condition " sometimes , but in my case , i would class this as not played very much at all , excellent shine and just a handful of the very lightest and small surface hairline marks only , most only being visible under a light , so you know that when i use excellent , i really do mean excellent . Lots of my records as you can see by my feedback are better than described , more better than very good and closer to near ( if not ) excellent and i do pride myself on this fact , this is why i do use mainly " Very Good " but with very detailed descriptions also of which i will say i can go a little OTT with noise and general condition and can often make a record sound bad when it really isn't , i do just try my best to say how it is , please don't forget though , that all records will obviously vary in sound quality etc on other set ups depending on the quality and type of turntable / amps and stylus etc that are being used , but please do check out all of my feedback and you will see you can bid with confidence , thank you .

Queen We Are The Champions 7" RARE UK DEMO PS Nick W Etched Run Off See Details . On UK EMI 4 Prong Paper Labels EMI 2708 . B SIDE:
COVER: Factory Card PS generally in good overall condition . A very few very light and small general age related / surface / handling marks in places . The usual but generally quite light ring wear marks are present and there are a few bits of general creasing / denting in places and the usual slightly more prominent creases / dent lines caused by the impression of the outer edge of the record towards the corners , there is just a light bit of rub wear from the label section impressions , there are a couple of heavier crease lines and dents near the bottom left corner visible on the front and rear . Some normal useage / age related wear on the top opening edges and a couple of tiny knicks , but mainly dent and crease wear . Some usual but generally quite small bits of rub wear / denting / creasing etc on the corners and some general age / use related rub wear on the edges . The sleeve is writing free .
INNER SLEEVE: I like to put my more collectable PS records into a separate white paper sleeve when i get them , just for a little added protection for the record and the seam edges on the main cover . Obviously this isn't original but i don't think it was ever issued with one . It is a new plain white paper sleeve , but i have had to trim the top opening edges down slightly on this new inner sleeve so it would fit into the main cover .
LABELS: Four prong paper labels generally in near excellent condition . Generally still nice and clean with just a couple of light marks near the outer edge at approx eight and nine o'clock , there are just a very very few light and small usual spindle marks . Both labels are writing free .
RECORD: The overall visual grade of the playing surface under normal average household light conditions is still a very strong very good condition with mainly just some very light and fine non feelable mostly just whispy type hairline surface marks and just a couple of other still very light and small non feelable surface marks on both sides , there are no nasty deep feelable gouges / nasty deep scratches whatsoever , there is some manufacturers marbling / shadowing within the vinyl itself mostly on S2 and in places on the run offs which i have tried to show in the detailed photos , as you know this is quite often seen on older ( and actually even some more modern ) vinyl records and is more often than not just a cosmetic issue and i must say that none of this affected the play or sound quality at all when i tested it . There are also a couple of very small non sounding spot marks on S2 run off only , i will say that a lot of the finer hairlines are also only more visible when held at certain angles to or under a light . Please see below for audio description .
AUDIO A SIDE: Silent run in has some usual but light only noise . It plays crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really very little in the way of obvious noise that was worthy of mention , i just heard a bit of light noise on the quieter intro and a very very brief bit of very light background noise on the quieter break just after half way through , but this was brief only , there was no nasty loud crackle and no nasty loud ticks , there were just a very very few ( three or four ) extremely light other isolated pops in places . This side on the music really does still play and sound great .
AUDIO B SIDE: Silent run in has some usual but light only noise . It plays crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with again really hardly any obvious noise that was worthy of mention , i just heard a very little bit of very light background only noise mainly just in places on the quieter parts of the intro , there was no nasty crackle and no nasty ticks , there were just a couple of extremely light other isolated pops in places . Silent run off has some usual but light only noise . This side on the music really does still play and sound great .
There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck . Any noises tend to be in short bursts only , are over quickly , are not constant and do not spoil any enjoyment . If any noises are more frequent or louder etc , they will be described separately in the above detailed descriptions thank you .
All in all a very good overall example of this now very collectable and rare item . Thank you very much for your time and interest and happy bidding . Please do read the following ref record gradings explained thank you .
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 , some light noise may be heard in places especially on the quieter parts , but will not overpower any of the music , light edge warps etc are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Very Good / Near Excellent: The record has obviously been played but shows no overly excessive play wear . There will be some light only surface marks though most will be just fine hairlines , there will be no major deterioration in sound quality at all though some amount of light noise / occasional light pop may be present in places especially on some of the quieter parts , but none of this will be loud or constant , the record will play through perfectly , light edge warps etc are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Near Excellent: The record has obviously been played but shows only light signs of this , a few of the lightest non feelable surface marks being mostly very fine hairlines will be present , but it displays no deterioration in sound quality . Some brief bits of very light noise and very occasional usual light pop maybe present in places and would be acceptable on some quieter parts , but none of this will be loud or constant or overpower any of the music , light edge warps etc are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Excellent : The record shows some signs of having been played , but there is very little lessening in sound quality . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Please note that whilst I haven’t increased my postage charges for quite a while now , this now other recent price increase , has seen me unfortunately have to put a slight increase on my postage charges . This is also topped with the rise in cost for quality card mailers , jiffy bags , stiffeners , other packaging materials etc plus Ebays fees incl fees for seller postage costs ( 12.8% included in the total selling price ) plus their other now higher fees of 12.8% plus 30p per item sold . Please also note that I now send ALL non GF LP’s / 12" singles with a minimum of 3 stiffeners and all 7" singles with a minimum of 2 stiffeners ( more if i think they are needed ) , i never do and don't agree with making money from postage , but with all the added fees / extra stiffeners etc , all of this whilst not sounding a lot , does soon mount up and i actually do end up losing money on posting records , but I do obviously want to still remain competitive and still offer my usual top quality service , sorry again for this , thank you .
