RAMASES "SPACE HYMNS" VINYL LP UK 1971 ON VERTIGO UFO 6360 046
Ramases, born Kimberley Barrington Frost (1935-40 – December 2nd 1976), was a British psychedelic musician who released two cult albums in the early 1970s. Barrington Frost was born sometime between 1935 and 1940 in Sheffield, UK, the only child of musical parents (his mother played piano to silent movies in the local theatre, and his father was a tenor). He grew up singing and playing guitar from an early age. Barrington was drafted into the RAF, and eventually rose to become an army PT instructor. After completing his service, in 1960 he met and three weeks later married Dorothy Laflin (1957 carnival queen of Felixstowe), who was working in her parents' Felixstowe restaurant at the time.[3] The couple settled in London, where he worked as a jazz singer by night and an HVAC installer by day, while Dorothy waited tables.[4] His central heating employer offered him the opportunity to open a branch in Edinburgh Scotland, but then went bankrupt shortly after so the Frosts stayed in Scotland and built up their own successful HVAC business in Glasgow.

RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE'S GRADING GUIDE 

"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."
