General description of Record Collector grading Vinyl
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner.
I'm selling a lot of my vinyl and CD collection, because the kids are getting bigger and the house is getting smaller! Basically, it was either the kids or the records, sadly the coin came down tails...Thanks for looking!

I can feel the Earth begin to move
I hear my needle hit the groove
This is surely one of the greatest opening couplets in guitar pop, capturing a sense of exuberance which the music also conveys. She Bangs the Drums reminds me of the great singles of the 60s British Invasion- it's in that class.
It is a contender for the definitive Stone Roses song on an album full of them. The hi-hat tingles with anticipation, the bass builds with hair-raising determination and finally Squire’s guitar soars, coupled with the lovesick opening couplet “I can feel the Earth begin to move / I hear my needle hit the groove.” To call it a simple song is to disregard the beauty of its construction; this song boiled three decades of guitar pop down to the bare bones of the euphoria of meeting someone you desperately want to be with and hearing a song you can’t stop playing. Listening to She Bangs, only stony hearts will fail to see why a generation fell hard for the Roses. It’s the sound of that brief but beautiful moment when the teen years become hopeful young adulthood. “The past was yours but the future’s mine / You’re all out of time” were lines utterly justified by the song.
Like the Beatles’ A Day in the Life, the B-side to She Bangs the Drums was two songs in one. The first, a noisy, languid guitar groove, was nice enough, with Brown’s loping lyric assuring that “I really don’t think you could know that I’m in heaven when you smile.” The second, which appeared in the last two minutes of the song, was a minor revelation. Over a shuffling beat, Brown’s voice apes Art Garfunkel at his most subdued, a precise study in male vulnerability and tenderness as he repeats the mantra: “I could park a juggernaut in your mouth / And I can feel a hurricane when you shout / I should be safe forever in your arms.” It was the moment that most set them apart from the armies of mooning, faux-sensitive lads who scrambled in their footsteps. The Stone Roses were a masculine band, but even amid the meatiest guitar solos they never stooped to being macho, and whenever they expressed admiration for women it was as an equal partner.
