DETAILS ABOUT GRADING & BACKGROUND ON MY BUY IT NOW AUCTIONS (Please read!)

Hello and welcome to my auction!  This is part of a collection that has remained virtually untouched for years.  The previous owner only bought items he found interesting, so there was very little ‘dross’ in this collection.  Some of his records were Mint (and barely played at all!), and some were played a lot and have lower gradings.  Everything however is extremely interesting – and I have graded EXTREMELY strictly indeed!  So with this in mind - it is very VERY important to understand how my VERY strict grading system works!  I grade EVERYTHING standing on a chair directly under a 150 watt bulb which reveals everything!  Therefore if I grade a record 'VG' - it does NOT mean it is 'covered in scuffing and marks' - it will still be a VERY clean looking record indeed, and often barely played!  For example - if I hold a record under light and see a lovely black sheen, but a few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs, and 2 or 3 VERY light lines - I will still ONLY grade the record VG+.  So whilst you shouldnt expect MINT from my 'VG' records - you should still expect a VERY clean & bright looking record indeed!  And even my records graded only 'Good' or Good+' will be VERY presentable playable examples indeed!  And if I list a record in the condition most LPs seem to be in today (namely covered in general light scuffing - but still plays through absolutely fine with a few crackles & pops) - then I would ONLY grade this record Fair or even Poor+.  So I am very VERY strict on grading indeed - and almost NEVER use an Excellent grading unless the record looks virtually 'factory fresh' under light!  PLEASE ALSO NOTE - as these records have been sitting for many years, and have come direct to auction - so they may also be a little dusty (but NOT dirty!), and may benefit from a clean / dust off by the next owner (if so wished).  I also have no time to play these at all (visual grading only) - but it is VERY easy to spot any sounding marks under light, and I will mention anything that falls out of the grade given!  In short - if you buy one of my records, and expect the grade given you should be very pleasantly surprised indeed!  And in the unlikely event of a problem, any purchase is also covered by a refund including postage. 

I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO PRICE THESE RECORDS TO SELL - AND HAVE NOT SET THE 'BUY IT NOW' PRICE SLIGHTLY 'HIGH' HOPING THAT BEST OFFERS COME IN AT 'ABOUT THE RIGHT PRICE'....  I WANT TO GET THESE RECORDS SHIFTED QUICKLY - SO WHY NOT MAKE AN OFFER?  BE AWARE THOUGH - THAT SOME OF THESE ITEMS MAY WELL FLY OUT IMMEDIATELY AT THE 'BUY IT NOW' PRICE ALONE (AS THEY ARE PRICED UP VERY CHEAPLY INDEED - AND WELL BELOW PREVIOUS AUCTION PRICES!), SO YOU MAY WELL HAVE TO BE QUICK!  IN SHORT - I HAVE TRIED TO GRADE VERY STRICTLY INDEED - AND PRICE THESE RECORDS TO GO!!!

So please buy with absolute confidence and take a look at this GREAT item on offer below:-

RARITY:-  One of the VERY rarest Rolling Stones 45s ever made!  This one is made even rarer still - as it is the 'Earliest' & Rarest 1st Pressing ever made - with the ULTRA rare 'Stones' misprint on the B side (later corrected to 'Stoned' instead on all later copies!)!

COUNTRY:-  UK

PRESSING:-  1ST PRESSING - WITH 1T/1T MATRIX ENDINGS & B SIDE INCORRECTLY TITLED 'STONES' (LATER CORRECTED!)

ARTIST:-  THE ROLLING STONES

TITLE:-  I WANNA BE YOUR MAN / STONES

CAT NUMBER:-  F 11764

LABEL:-  DECCA

DATE:- 1963

SIGNS OF PLAY:-  REGULAR

LABELS:-  VG+ - All good, apart from an almost INVISIBLE 'TC' on 1 label, and a touch of wear around the centre holes.

GRADING:-   VG+ if not better! (Graded directly under a 150 watt bulb!)  A VERY nice bright & shiny example indeed!  Has only 2 or 3 light hairlines, only 2 or 3 MEGA light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!  A VERY decent example, and VERY hard to find with the 'Stones' misprint now!

COMPANY SLEEVE:-  VG++ if not better (Most would grade higher) - and is a VERY decent example indeed!  NO edge splits, No rips, NO tears, NO fraying to the opening edge, only a few VERY light creases, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, and NO writing.  A nice example and hard to find like this now! 

CLEANING:-  45s of this age have often gone through many hands over the years, and in some cases have been cleaned in some way by a previous owner.  In this case I have examined this 45 carefully and comprehensively under bright light, and noticed the VERY faintest 'shimmering' under the closest scrutiny.  Whilst this could easily be from the ORIGINAL pressing (as it is VERY hard to spot, except under light!), I believe this 45 may have been cleaned in some way in the past, by a previous owner.  Still a VERY decent example indeed, that plays WELL.

DEFECTS OUTSIDE OF THE GRADE GIVEN:-  N/A
