Description
STONE ROSES - Elephant Stone -7" single in picture sleeve ore 1 - 1988 VG
These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years and which I am now clearing. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the description which is my honest personal assessment and check the pictures. You may wish to check my feedback from sale of my albums most of which appears under my own ID (Eddery); this is my wife's ID as I am trying to keep the 45's separate from the rest. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system (as detailed below) except I won't use Mint. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding.
Record / condition:UK pressing, 45rpm 7" vinyl single released in 1988 on the Silvertone label, ORE 1.
Tracks: Elephant Stone, The hardest thing in the world
One of a number of singles I received from a friend who had an annoying habit of writing on his records - this one has his name RAY on the top right front of the sleeve, and RAY plus A on the side A label. Shame as the record is in otherwise nice condition
Picture sleeve has just light creasing. Name as mentioned. Labels have few obvious spindle marks, writing as mentioned. Vinyl has few light surface marks / sleeve removal marks on side A, a visible scrape and scuff on side B but there's just one light pop and it otherwise plays very well throughout - I play tested all of it.
Overall:
I'd guess it might grade at (sleeve / vinyl) VG+ / VG
Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing, usually all of it. If you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.
Postage prices are my best guess at cost. Note that it should be possible to combine 3 or 4 items in a single shipment at no extra cost and if you buy several items, I can invoice you with the cost for a combined shipment. You will pay only the actual Royal Mail charge plus the cost of a strong custom mailer (which is probably an extra 30 pence)
I'm happy to hold records for a short while if you wish to bid on more and combine shipment, but it helps if you can let me know particularly when bidding on items separated by a few days.
Payment by Sterling cheque / money order, or via PaypalThe time has come to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix. Thank you to all who have already given new homes to my beloved vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to come
GRADING: UK Record Collector Grading system:
(I try to grade along the same lines as professional sellers might. However, I don’t use Mint or NM for any LP’s of significant vintage as most will as a minimum have paper scuffs and dust / static build up however good they look .. so EX+ is as good as I will go. I don't have any of the lower 3 grades which are there for reference only.
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 un-played 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, discoloration, 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.
