Description
Thanks for checking out my listing!
PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES ON THE LEFT FOR RECORD DETAILS SUCH AS ARTIST, LABEL, RECORD NUMBER, MATRIX NUMBERS AND GENERAL CONDITION.
ATTENTION international bidders! Please understand that altering the final price of any online purchase to avoid customs fees is illegal. Since I process every order digitally, the shipping label affixed to the package will show the exact cost of the item. I am an honest seller and cannot alter the amount, so please do not ask me to do so.
RECORD packaging and shipping method: I am a record collector who understands the importance of securely packing records. I always pad the package well to prevent shifting during transit. I also use industry-standard shipping boxes which are specifically designed for shipping records.
Here's a great original both Small Island Pride with their song 'Taxi Driver" as well as one from Lord Melody - his famous 'BooBoo Man' song.
The vinyl: VG++ (read below / listen)
Record is as the pictures show. I've cleaned the record carefully and thoroughly. The vinyl has some a few very ultra light marks and some very ultra light scuffs, no marks can be felt to the touch. There is a factory 'bubble' about the size of a pen head in the lead in, the doesn't affect playback at all of course, I have taken an image of that instance in the pictures on the left, second photo from the bottom.
Very nice surface overall as the pictures show with a shine. Playback is continuous with no skips, plays with very light background noise, just as in the clip provided below.
I have listened to both sides of the record and recorded it to disk, a link to digital file can be made available to the winning bidder if desired. The record looks exactly as the pictures on the left show... It sounds exactly as the mp3 file plays below.
The actual, unedited sound file below is provided by my Yamaha P-520 Direct Drive TT with Digitrac 280E cartridge @ 1.5 grams /// I can't guarantee the record will sound exactly like the file below since all turntables are equipped differently.
Check out the sample below:
The labels are in VG++ condition
The many pictures here show the labels accurately.
I grade conservatively and take a lot of time to properly list my records so please bid with confidence. If you have any questions, please contact me through the 'ask seller a question' link on this page.

dh-drill hole
dj-disc jockey/promo

"Goldmine Standard" grading:
SS = Still Sealed
Never opened. Any flaws (torn shrinkrwrap, creasing) will be indicated in the description.
NM- = Near Mint Minus
Has been opened, but is still flawless
with no damage whatsoever.
VG+ = Very Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have scuff marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only "barely detectable" crackles or pops. A slight noise at the begining is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless.
- Cover: May only have the slightest signs of normal wear.
The majority of records (worth selling) fall under this grade.
- Vinyl: May crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but only occasionally,never continuously, and not more loudly than the music being listened to.
- Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams. If there is abnormal damage such as tears or markings, but the seller still feels that it qualifies as a
"VG", the damage must be described in comments attached to the item.
G+ = Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have continuous crackles, pops, etc... but not so loud as to make the music completely unenjoyable for the casual listener.
- Cover: More than normal wear and tear.
