THIS EP IS BY 'RITCHIE VALENS' AND IS CALLED 'COME ON LETS GO' AND WAS RELEASED IN NEW ZEALAND YES YOU READ RIGHT NEW ZEALAND ON THE LONDON LABEL REM 6045.

THIS IS THE OH SO HARD TO FIND SECOND VALENS EP ISSUED IN NEW ZEALAND

CONTRARY TO BELIEFS THERE WERE NOT ONE BUT TWO EPS RELEASED IN NEW ZEALAND OF VALENS. EVEN SOME HARD CORE NEW ZEALAND FANS OF VALENS DID NOT KNOW OF THESE TWO RELEASES.

THE TRACKS ARE:

COME ON LETS GO, DONNA, LA BAMBA AND HURRY UP.

THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND CLEAR. BEAUTIFUL CONDITION.

THE COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR A TINY TEAR ON THE BOTTOM SPINE (REFER SCAN) AND IS LAMINATED WHICH THE KIWIS KNEW HOW TO DO PROPERLY.

THE VINYL IS IN VG++ CONDITION AND BOTH SIDES PLAY LOUD AND CLEAR.

THESE TWO EPS HAVE NEVER BEEN ON EBAY BEFORE TO MY KNOWLEDGE..

       All vinyl listed on auction has been cleaned, played and visually inspected so that you may bid with confidence. Albums (LPs) and Extended Plays (EPs) are sent with the record outside of the cover and placed in an outer plastic sleeve (to prevent ring-wear) before safely packed.

       Where required, the sleeves have been cleaned with a secret formula to eradicate as much ring-wear and built up dirt as possible.

        Multiple items won will be combined to save on postage.

ENQUIRIES ARE WELCOME AT ANYTIME, HOWEVER, PLEASE ALLOW 24 HOURS FOR A RESPONSE AS I MAY BE AWAY.

For grading purposes I play side one only of an EP or 45 (mainly the ‘A’ side) and a few tracks on side one of an LP.

I also grade records on a perceived appearance basis. I then combine them for an overall grading. I believe this to be the most effective way of grading records. Some records can look ordinary but they play well and vikky vika.

I use the English Record Collectors Magazine Guidelines for gradings as this appears to be the generally accepted term of reference with variances to + or minus. Below are grading scales.

GRADING DEFINITIONS FROM THE ENGLISH RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE

MINT (M): 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.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows 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 (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): 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, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just about 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 (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

THERE ARE VARIANCES + OR - TO THE ABOVE ASSESSMENTS.
