I HAVE JUST ACQUIRED A SMALL COLLECTION OF A DOZEN OR SO ROCK N ROLL LP's INCL JOHNNY BURNETTE , JERRY LEE LEWIS , FATS DOMINO , LITTLE RICHARD , THE CHAMPS , THE CHANTAYS AND EDDIE COCHRAN , I WILL BE LISTING ALL OVER THE NEXT WEEK OR SO AND I MUST SAY THIS REALLY IS A VERY NICE COLLECTION .
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RECORD HAS BEEN VACUUM CLEANED ON BOTH SIDES USING MY PROJECT PRO CLEANING MACHINE THANK YOU .
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL RECORDS , CD's , CASSETTES AND DVD's ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED FROM START TO FINISH INCLUDING ALL SIDES FOR ALL DOUBLE AND TRIPLE ALBUMS AND BOX SETS THANK YOU .
ALL RECORDS ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED ON MY TRUSTY AIWA TURNTABLE AND GOOD QUALITY JVC AMP . THIS DOES ONLY HAVE A STD BASS AND TREBLE CONTROL WHICH I HAVE SET ON A HIGH " TINNY " SETTING . I LIKE TO SET IT LIKE THIS AS IT PICKS UP EVEN THE VERY SLIGHTEST BIT OF NOISE SO I KNOW I CAN DESCRIBE EVERY LP CORRECTLY ETC . I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT PLAYED ON BETTER OR TOP QUALITY SYSTEMS WITH GREATER AND MORE TECHNICAL SOUND CONTROL ETC , THESE RECORDS WILL SOUND A LOT BETTER THAN I HAVE DESCRIBED . I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I OFTEN GIVE RECORDS ANOTHER QUICK PLAY ON THE FIRST COUPLE OF TRACKS ON MY PERSONAL TOP QUALITY PIONEER SYSTEM AND I DO FIND THAT MOST OF ANY NOISES LIKE CRACKLE ETC ARE MUCH MUCH QUIETER , SOME EVEN HARDLY SOUND AT ALL . I TEST EVERY RECORD AND FIND THAT MY AIWA WILL COVER MANY OTHER SIMILAR SET UPS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE , I DID WANT TO JUST POINT THIS OUT , THANK YOU .
Please note that i do tend to use " Very Good Condition " for most of my records , although none are heavily scratched etc and most will just have some general light surface marks only . The only exception to this is if the record does have scratches and lots of marks etc but is very rare and collectable and will be described in great detail . I never use " Mint " or " Near Mint " unless the record is unopened from it's original shrink wrap and is clearly unplayed . Even with these i am wary because if the record has been stored for years in maybe a damp garage or loft etc and has not been opened , then we can only presume it should be mint because we obviously can't actually see the record . Everyone obviously has their own opinions as to what is very good and excellent , but in my case , i tend to think that most , if not all records do have marks to some degree ( lots even from new ! ) purely because they are vinyl and mark easy and have been used over a considerable amount of time in most cases . This is why i use Very Good most of the times . This is also why i do go into great detail with my descriptions , as the term " Very Good " can be a bit vague . I do use " Excellent Condition " sometimes , but in my case , i would class this as not played very much at all , excellent shine and just a handful of the very lightest and small surface hairline marks only , most only being visible under a light , so you know that when i use excellent , i really do mean excellent . Lots of my records as you can see by my feedback are better than described , more better than very good and closer to near ( if not ) excellent and i do pride myself on this fact , this is why i do use mainly " Very Good " but with very detailed descriptions also of which i will say i can go a little OTT with noise and general condition and can often make a record sound bad when it really isn't , i do just try my best to say how it is , but as i say please do check my feedback and you will see you can bid with confidence , thank you .

The Champs Go Champs Go LP UK 1959 Pro Cleaned See Details . On UK London UK Plum / Silver Print HA-H 2152 . Comes with the scalloped top and bottom flipbacks on the rear and has the date code 2-59 on the bottom flipback .
COVER: Laminated ( front and rear flipbacks only ) cover in near excellent condition and still overall very nice and clean , this cover really is a very nice example , certainly one of the best i have seen a very long time .
FRONT: Very nice and clean and still retains a lovely glossy sheen overall with just a bit of usual but light only dulling in places . A very very few usual but very light and very small surface laminate crease lines in places round the outer edges and there is one small bit of  laminate lift on and just very near to the bottom right corner . A very very very few extremely light and very small general surface marks in places , mainly just a very few usual but very light and fine hairlines in places . There are the usual but very light only ringwear marks with just a light impression of the outer edge and label section of the record and just the slightest hint of a little rubbing in places on the impression . A really very nice front cover in fantastic shape .
TOP / BOTTOM / LEFT HAND SIDE MAIN EDGES: ( Not Including Corners And Right Next To Corners Please See Corner Description ) . TOP EDGE: No obvious signs of rub wear at all on the laminated part . BOTTOM EDGE: The same . LEFT HAND SIDE EDGE: Normally obviously the spine edge , but these flimsy thin card covers of the time had all of the text printed on the rear and there was no actual spine . This edge is the same as top and bottom main edge descriptions .
MAIN SPINE EDGE: N/A .
OPENING EDGES: Notoriously wear prone edges but these really are still in great shape with really mainly just a very few very light and small bits of denting / very light wear in places mainly only visible on the inside , there is the usual but very light bit of rubbing on the outer edge where the laminate finishes short , there is no really heavy fraying and there is just a small bit of very slightly heavier rubbing / very light fraying just above the already mentioned small bit of laminate lift and just above the bottom right corner on the fold back part where the cover was glued when put together , i have shown this in the photos , there are no tears and amazingly both sides are still generally very nice and straight and pretty much both are together with no obvious gapping .  
CORNERS: Some usual but very light and very small bits of fray / dent wear on the corners , virtually all being confined to the tip ends , slightly more ( but still light ) on the bottom right corner as previously mentioned on the opening edges description .   
REAR: Still in really great shape overall . A very few very light bits of general age related surface / handling marks in places , but these really are very light only , mainly down the edge of the thin folded over laminate on the right hand edge in places and a very little just to the left of this , but any of this really is very minimal only and it still retains it's general whiteness very nicely indeed . A very very few usual but extremely light and small laminate surface crease lines in places round the outer edges and on the flipbacks . There are just two or three extremely light very very soft dents in places , but these really are very very light indeed . There are the usual but amazingly very very light ringwear marks with just a hint of a very very light impression of the outer edge and label section of the record and the very slightest , faintest bit of rubbing near the centre part of the left hand opening edge in places only , but again , any of this really is very minimal indeed . As i say , this cover really is in great shape , a notoriously wear prone thin card cover , but i think this one really is a very very nice example indeed and one of the cleanest , best examples i have seen in years ! .
INNER SLEEVE: Printed on one side ( pale grey / pale lilac tinged coloured print ) poly lined inner sleeve in near excellent overall condition . A very very few very light and very small general surface / handling marks in places and there are some of the slightest bits of age related foxing / very very light browning , mainly round the edges . The usual but generally very very light ringwear marks and mainly just a very very few very light creases / dents in places , i say mainly as there are a couple of more prominent creases ( certainly not large ) near to the bottom corners and there are the usual but only very slightly more prominent creases / dents caused by the outer edge of the record on and near mainly the bottom corners . Some light only normal useage wear on the top opening edges and a very little on the side edges and corners . I can't confirm if this is the original inner sleeve , but it is consistent with the time period and label make . 
LABELS: London plum / silver print paper labels generally in near excellent condition . Very nice and clean overall with just a very very very few extremely light and small usual spindle marks and very very few extremely small and light rub spot marks in places near the outer edge at approx ten o'clock on S2 label . Both labels are writing free .
RECORD: The overall visual grade under normal average household light conditions is a very very very strong between very good and near excellent ( certainly far far better than very good and i only use this as a starting point ) condition on the playing surface , though i think most would say airing closer to the near excellent side overall with just a very few usual but very light and fine hairline surface marks on both sides and just a very very few other only slightly more visible but still very very light hairlines and two or three very light non feelable non sounding scuffs , though these are more like clusters of fine hairlines , not actual scuffs please see photos , they do actually look a little worse than they actually are though in the photos , most of the fine hairlines i will say are also only more visible when held at certain angles to or under a light , there are no nasty deep gouges / nasty deep scratches etc whatsoever . I will say that there is what appears to be a line which runs round the blank run off just before the actual very end of the run off on both sides , they do appear to be done as part of the manufacturing process and to me appear to be machine done but obviously i can't confirm this in saying this , they can be felt , it passes through the line on both sides with just a brief though quite loud noise as it passes through it , i must admit i am at a loss to know what this line is . As i don't know what they are and because of the noise , to be sure , all i did in the end on my second testing was to just take the arm off when the record had finished and before it reached the line and again to be sure i would also recommend this action if you are unsure , actually i doubt most people would have even mentioned them , but as you know , i do like to be thorough with all my descriptions , i have shown this in the last photo so you can see exactly what i mean . Obviously this had no affect on the music playback at all as it is just on the run offs .
AUDIO A SIDE: It plays beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with amazingly hardly any obvious noise worthy of mention , there was no nasty crackle and no nasty loud ticks ( bar one very light one to be mentioned ) , in fact all i heard was just a light tick on the intro only on T1 and if i had to be picky , then there was the odd bit of very very very occasional mega brief bit of the faintest background only noise in i think , three or four places on the quieter T3 , but any of this really was very faint and barely heard on my system , again this was really barely worth a mention but i do like to be thorough with all my descriptions . I think there were just four or five of the faintest odd isolated pop in places on quieter parts only .was the very very very very few odd isolated extremely faint pops in places on the music on some quieter parts only . Actually a very great deal of this side does play close to virtually noise free on the music ! . There are obviously some usual and often louder noises heard on the silent run ins/offs and silent track changeover lines , though i must say that even most of the silent changeover lines were very quiet indeed overall . This side on the music really does play and sound fantastic and the audio tones are still awesome . There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a very nice shine . I really can't stress enough how good this side plays and sounds on the music .
AUDIO B SIDE: It plays beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback and plays as above description ( minus the light tick and mega few extremely brief bits of faint background noise on T3 ) with just a very very very few odd very faint isolated pops in places , though really barely heard . Again being picky there were two or three mega mega brief bits of ultra light background only noise in places , i think on the first half of T5 , but this was barely heard and very faint only , i doubt most people would have even bothered mentioning this , it was that light .This side again on the music really does play and sound fantastic on the music and the audio tones are still awesome . There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a nice shine . Again i really can't stress enough how good this one plays and sounds ! .
All in all a very nice overall example of this now very collectable item together with superb overall sound , do turn this one up and enjoy ! . Thank you very much for your time and interest and happy bidding . Please do read the following ref record gradings explained thank you . 
Very Good / Near Excellent: The playing surface of the record has obviously been played , but displays no deterioration in sound quality , despite some light only surface marks , being mostly light hairlines and the odd very light non feelable scuff , but no nasty feelable scratches etc . Some very light noise and occasional usual light pop may sometimes be present on some quieter parts . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Please note that whilst I haven’t increased my postage charges for quite a while now , this now other recent price increase , has seen me unfortunately have to put a slight increase on my postage charges . This is also topped with the rise in cost for quality card mailers , jiffy bags , stiffeners , other packaging materials etc , Ebays 10% extra fee for seller postage costs plus their other fees and Paypal now charging 20p per item sold on Ebay plus their other fees . Please also note that I now send ALL non GF LP’s / 12" singles with a minimum of 3 stiffeners and all 7" singles with a minimum of 2 stiffeners ( more if i think they are needed ) , i never and don't agree with making money from postage and with all the added fees / extra stiffeners etc , most of my records including LP's sell for between £2 and £6 so all of this whilst not sounding a lot , does soon mount up and i actually do lose money on posting records , but I do obviously want to still remain competitive and still offer my usual top quality service , sorry again for this , thank you .
