Description
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 .

X Ray Spex Identity 7" Pink Vinyl UK PS 1978 A1/B1 . On UK EMI Blue / Black Print INT 563 . B SIDE: Let's Submerge . The centre part ( up to the 2nd raised line ) of the labels have a slightly textured appearance .
COVER: Factory non laminated thin card PS cover generally in a strong very good overall condition , would have been better but for a bit of wear on and just near to the top opening edges and a number written small in blue on the inside of the cover on the top edge , but still a nice example , please read the full description below .
FRONT: A very very few ( two or three only ) usual but extremely light and extremely small and soft surface crease lines in places round the outer side and bottom edges . A very few very light and small usual general surface / handling / age related marks in places mainly on the black colour but certainly nothing excessive at all . The usual but mostly light only ring wear marks and some bits of very light denting in places ( very light only and again mainly on the black colour ) , there is just a mostly light impression with no nasty rubbing of the outer edge of the record , mainly near the top right corner ( this is a bit more visible but certainly not heavy ) and top centre section just below the top opening edge , but there is a quite small surface crease crack line just below the centre part of the top opening edge on part of the light impression , there is just a very faint impression of the label section of the record , i think pretty much all can be seen in the photos .
SIDE / BOTTOM MAIN EDGES: ( Not Including Corners And Right Next To Corners Please See Corner Description ) . Side edges: Just a very light bit of general age related rub wear with no heavy fraying and no seam splits . Bottom edge: The same . TOP OPENING EDGES: Has the cut out section on the rear with mostly just some usual but quite light rub / dent / useage wear on the outer edges only on the front and rear , but there is a small section of fraying mainly only visible on the inside of the front opening edge , this is just to the left of centre as you look at it from the rear , but this again isn't excessive , again i have tried to show this in the photos .
CORNERS: Some usual but light and very small bits of rub / dent wear on the corners , virtually all being confined to the tip ends there are a couple of tiny bits of creasing / denting very tight into and just near the bottom left corner , but these really are very small and light indeed .
REAR: Pretty much as the front description , there is a small and very light surface only crease line near the bottom left corner and some light non feelable very fine hairline scuff lines on the left hand side flipback , again i have shown these in the photos , again certainly nothing overly excessive . Again there are the usual but very light only ringwear marks with just a very faint impression of the outer edge of the record and a very very faint impression of the label section of the record , again there is no nasty rubbing present on these impressions , i do hope i haven't made this out to be bad as it really is still a very nice overall example , i just like to try and be thorough with all my descriptions , but can sometimes go a little OTT ! describing wear etc .
INNER SLEEVE: I like to put my more collectable PS records into a separate white paper sleeve when i get them , just for a little added protection for the record and the seam edges on the main cover . Obviously this isn't original as it was never issued with one . It is a plain white paper sleeve in excellent condition and near new , but i have had to trim the top opening edges down slightly on this paper inner sleeve so it would fit into the main cover .
LABELS: Solid centre paper labels generally in between very good and near excellent condition , i say this purely as there is what appears to be a pair of initials written small and lightly at approx 10 o'clock near the outer edge of the label on S1 label . The inner centre section of the labels do have a slightly textured appearance , this is up to the second raised line after the spindle hole , again i have tried to show this in the photos . Bar the small bit of writing they are both still nice and clean overall with just a very few light and small usual spindle marks and a very few tiny white specks round and just very near to the spindle hole , these though really are very tiny and very light only and actually only slightly more visible when held at certain angles to the light .
RECORD: The overall visual grade under normal average household light conditions is a very very strong excellent condition and audio to match , it really is in great shape with just a really very very few very faint , extremely fine hairline surface marks , really hardly noticeable , there are no nasty deep feelable gouges / nasty deep scratches whatsoever , i will say that a lot of the finer hairlines are also only really visible when held at certain angles to or under a light . There are also no unsightly manufacturers blemishes within the vinyl which are often seen on pieces of coloured vinyl .
AUDIO A SIDE: Silent run in has some usual but very very light noise . Plays beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music and i didn't hear any noise at all that needed a mention , there was no crackle and no nasty ticks present , there may just have been a couple of the usual faintest isolated pops that really were barely heard at all . Silent run off has some usual but again very light noise . Plays and sounds fantastic and the audio tones are still awesome .
AUDIO B SIDE: Silent run in has some usual but very light noise . Again plays beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music and plays as above description . Silent run off has some usual but again very light noise . Plays and sounds fantastic and the audio tones are still awesome .
Probably one of the best examples i have ever heard and i really can't stress enough how good this one plays and sounds .
There were no jumps etc when tested and it still retains a lovely 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 very nice overall example of this now very collectable item together with superb 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 .
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 , 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 .
