Description

THE SAINTS FATAL RECORDS (I'm STRANDED) original vinyl single pressing.
Extremely Collectable (sales history between $500 and $2000 on Discogs)...obviously those copies were in very good to mint condition.
This single for is pretty rough in appearance (see pictures) but plays through fine without jumps or skips on my turntable. The stylus cartridge visibly floats a bit from side to side when tracking on the record which doesn't seem to affect the sound (it may be just the pressing as I have a few records that do this, I'm not sure why)..... I can send an MP3 recording of it playing both sides through my stereo system recorded with a ZOOM portable recorder if you send me your email. On 'I'm Stranded' heaps of pops, crackles at the needle drop but as soon as the song kicks in it sounds pretty good right through. On the B side there's a little bit more noise evident during the playing. I recommend if you are interested you listen to the sound byte to confirm.
This particular copy has an inked message on the A side from Ivor Hay. See the photo.
I've rated the single according to the Goldmine rating system as below;

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

Vinyl Generally worth 10-15% of the Near Mint value. Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it

Further note. I didn't realise but apologies, as I can't receive an email address on ebay as mentioned in the description, to get a soundbyte to bidders of the quality of the record. I'm looking for a way to attach a soundbyte via ebay but I'm figuring it's probably not possible.

Hi, I've just confirmed with ebay that I can't send an MP3 file to an email address so please don't try to send me your email address, we'll both just get the messages blocked. I've given a clear description of the item and you can check my feedback for confidence in this purchase. Happy Bidding. Cheers, Mark
