THE WHO
Polydor 2229 048 ( pressed in Singapore )
TRACK LISTING
Side 1: 1) Won't Get Fooled Again 2) Sensation
Side 2: 1) Don't Know Myself 2) I'm Free
A Singapore only Polydor EP laminated on both sides with the thicker and glossier laminates associated with Singapore pressings of the late 60s/early 70s.
GRADING RESULTS:
I would rate the cover as generally VG++. There is a surface rear towards the top center on the front caused by the removal of a price sticker. The reverse has some creases on the laminate.
The vinyl looks VG++ with a rather visible line on track 1 of side 1 and another lighter one traversing the entire side on side 2 . These could not be felt and did not affect play too badly or cause skips. Tracking at 1.7g on a Naim Aro/Lyra Helikon SL cartridge , there were some light clicks but these were not intrusive . The playing could be graded as generally Excellent.
How I Clean and Grade my Records
Cleaning: Cleaning is usually done on a Loricraft PRC 4 cleaning machine using the US made Walker Audio 3 step process.
Playback Equipment: Playback is through a Linn LP12 turntable/Armeggedon/Naim Aro tonearm/Linn Troika cartridge and through a brace of active Naim 250s/135s into Naim DBL speakers. For 45s I use a second Linn/Lingo/Aro/Lyra Helikon SL.
I use both Goldmine and Rare Record Price Guide grading system as a guide and came up with the following:
· Mint I only use this for sealed items. The record is virtually unplayed and is in a brand new condition. Cover is pristine. Up till now, I have never used this grading and, chances are, never will, due to my conservative nature in matters of record grading.
· Near Mint Very little or negligible flaws. Faint lines or very faint creasing on laminated covers visible under a strong light is acceptable but nothing serious. Records which show some signs of having been played such as very faint spindle marks are allowed but there should be no lessening in sound quality. .
· Excellent Item obviously played, though not often,and enjoyed with some slight noise. The record should be nice and shiny but may have a few light marks which should not intrude on play. Slight wear on cover is acceptable.
· Very Good Many more imperfections which are noticeable but not obtrusive. The record has been played several times but there should be no major deterioration in sound quality despite some noticeable surface marks and light scratches. Normal wear and tear or writings on the cover is acceptable but there should not be any major tears.
I do not offer any records below Very Good unless its extremely rare.
Shipping costs
I use brand new custom made plastic sleeves for both the vinyl and for the sleeve. Shipping is always by Airmail and by registered post as it allows one to track items in case of delays. Shipping costs in pounds are:
EPs/45s :
4.5 for the first
1 for the subsequent ones
I will inform buyers of the registration details through Email upon posting.
Forms of payment that I accept include:
· PAYPAL (preferred choice)
