A QUICK MESSAGE TO ALL MY FOLLOWERS , APOLOGIES FOR MY RECENT ABSENCE , AFTER NEARLY A YEAR OFF FROM DEALING WITH ANY RECORDS DUE TO LOOKING AFTER AND THEN THE SUDDEN VERY SAD LOSS OF MY FATHER , I AM NOW BACK WITH A GREAT SELECTION OF MANY VERY RARE RECORDS AND OBVIOUSLY MY USUAL AND OTHER VERY COLLECTABLE 7" AND LP RECORDS , I HAVE LOTS OF FANTASTIC RECORDS TO LIST SO PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON MY LISTINGS , MANY THANKS . 


PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OF MY 7" AND 12" VINYL RECORDS ARE PRO CLEANED ON MY PROJECT VACUUM CLEANING MACHINE , THANK YOU .
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL RECORDS , CD's , CASSETTES AND DVD's ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED FROM START TO FINISH ON BOTH SIDES AND INCLUDING ALL SIDES FOR ALL DOUBLE AND TRIPLE ALBUMS AND BOX SETS ETC 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 in and around the " Very Good / near excellent Condition " grade 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 greater 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 between Very Good and near excellent 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 , ie better than very good and closer to near ( if not actually ) excellent and i do pride myself on this fact , this is why i do use mainly between Very Good and near excellent , 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 , please don't forget though , that all records will obviously vary in sound quality etc on other set ups depending on the quality and type of turntable / amps and stylus etc that are being used , but please do check out all of my feedback and you will see you can bid with confidence , thank you .

 The Crystals I Wonder 7" RARE UK LONDON DEMO Pro Cleaned . On UK London four prong white / black print paper labels HLU 9852 . B SIDE: Little Boy .
COVER: Factory paper sleeve generally in good overall condition . A few very light and small general age related / surface / handling marks in places and a bit of age related fowing / fading mainly in places round the edges , the one photo of the sleeve does show some small writing in the one top right corner , but on checking closer , i found that this had been done in pencil so i have now removed that writing . The usual ring wear marks are present and there is some general creasing / denting in places but nothing overly excessive , there are the usual more prominent creases / dent lines caused by the impression of the outer edge of the record towards the corners . Some normal useage / age related wear on the top opening edges and a couple of tiny knicks , but mainly dent and crease wear . Some usual rubbing / denting / creasing etc on the corners and a bit of general rub wear on the edges , the sleeve is now writing free , obviously i can't confirm if this is the original sleeve . I will also be putting the record into a new plain white paper sleeve .
LABELS: Four prong white / black print paper labels generally in between very good and near excellent condition , there are just a very few small light handling / age related grubby marks in places , but really nothing heavy at all as you can hopefully see in the photos , there are the very often seen pinkish coloured inked stamped numbers on each label , which i think are to do with the track timings , there are just a few usual light spindle marks . Both labels , bar the inked stamped numbers as mentioned , are writing free .
RECORD: The overall visual grade of the playing surface under normal average household light conditions is a strong very good condition , though i think some may say a little better overall , with mainly just some ( really not that many ) mostly very light non feelable surface marks and just some usual mostly very fine hairlines ( two or three slightly more visible but still non feelable and still very light fine hairlines ) in places  , there is one more visible smallish non feelable scuff like mark near the run in on S2 , i must stress that this is non feelable , ( i'm not actually sure if it may even just be a mark in the vinyl itself , but i will call it a scuff to be on the safe side ) and i didn't hear anything from the mark itself , there was the briefest bit of very very light crackle on the intro only , literally just after the run in for three or four seconds only , this though would certainly not have been caused by this mark ( it was just very light vinyl crackle ) as this mark is in one place and would have only sounded just in this one place per rotation  , it also certainly would have lasted a lot longer longer , i just wanted to mention this so i can say the mark itself is non feelable and non sounding , i have shown this mark in the last three photos after the sleeve photo , there are no nasty large deep feelable gouges / nasty large deep scratches whatsoever , i will also say that a lot of the finer hairlines and actually some of the few ( though there aren't that many ) non feelable very light surface marks are really only more visible when held at certain angles to or under a light . Please see below for audio description .
AUDIO A SIDE: Silent run in has some usual but very light noise . It plays excellent , beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really next to nothing in the way of obvious noise that was worthy of mention , i say next to nothing and i think i'm being picky here , as there was a very faint bit of brief background what i call usual " vinyl noise " on the quieter intro , but as i say , this really was very very light indeed and hardly worth a mention , but i do like to be thorough as you know ,  there was no nasty crackle and no nasty ticks , there may have just been the odd couple of very faint isolated pops in places that i may have missed . Silent run off has some usual but again very light noise . This side on the music really does play and sound fantastic and the audio tones are still awesome . 
AUDIO B SIDE: Silent run in has some usual quite light noise . It plays excellent , beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really again next to nothing in the way of obvious noise that was worthy of mention , there was just a very light bit of crackle literally just after the run in ( three or four seconds only ) , but this really was very light only and i will say i can safely say that it wasn't down to the light scuff like mark , this is for the reasons i mentioned earlier in the record description ( please see ) , this really was just a bit of ultra brief very light vinyl crackle , there was no other nasty continuous crackle at all and no nasty ticks , there may just have been the odd couple of very faint isolated pops in places that i may have missed . Silent run off has some usual but very light noise . This side on the music really does play and sound fantastic overall and the audio tones are still awesome . 
I hope i didn't make this light scuff like mark out to be bad in any way , i just wanted to confirm it was non feelable and non sounding ( but obviously had to mention the separate ultra brief bit of very light intro only crackle not to do with this light mark ) , i do like to be thorough as i say but can sometimes go a little OTT , i do also like to give more in depth details on my more rarer records , thank you .
There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a good shine . Any noises tend to be in short bursts only , are over quickly , are not constant and do not spoil any enjoyment . If any noises are more frequent or louder etc , they will be described separately in the above detailed descriptions thank you .
All in all a good overall example of this now very collectable and rare item together with super 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: 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 , some forms of noise will more than likely be heard in places especially on the quieter parts and the odd tick or pop may also be heard in places especially on the quieter parts , but none of this will overpower any of the music in any way , light edge warps etc and some light " dishing " are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Very Good / Near Excellent: The record has obviously been played but shows no overly excessive play wear . There will be some light only surface marks though most will be just fine hairlines , there will be no major deterioration in sound quality at all though some amount of light noise / occasional light pop may be present in places especially on some of the quieter parts , but none of this will be loud or constant or overpower any of the music , the record will play through perfectly , light edge warps etc and some light " dishing ) are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Near Excellent: The record has obviously been played but shows only light signs of this , a few of the lightest non feelable surface marks being mostly very fine hairlines will be present , but it displays no deterioration in sound quality . Some brief bits of very light noise and very occasional usual light pop maybe present in places and would be acceptable on some quieter parts , but none of this will be loud or constant or overpower any of the music , light edge warps etc and some light " dishing " are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Excellent : The record shows some signs of having been played , but there is very little lessening in sound quality . 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 plus Ebays fees incl fees for seller postage costs ( 12.8% included in the total selling price ) plus their other now higher fees of 12.8% plus it's also now i think 35p per item sold . 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 do and don't agree with making money from postage , but with all the added fees / extra stiffeners etc , all of this whilst not sounding a lot , does soon mount up and i actually do end up losing 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 .
