You Have Been Bad/Millitant (Militant) Man Errol Dunkley and Golden KILLER 12” Crucial Roots PC Music PCDD 6 DUB UK

LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL RECORD IN IT'S ENTIRETY BELOW!!!!!

This recording comes direct from the vinyl copy you are now bidding on, straight out of my NAD amp, into my ZOOM H2 recorder, recording directly into MP3. When including these recordings for this purpose I make no audio tweaks in any way to the audio recording I have done, I do not alter the weight of the stylus, though I do use a fresh stylus, as, I'm sure we're all aware, is healthy to do anyway, very regularly!  

You Have Been Bad/Millitant (Militant) Man Errol Dunkley and Golden KILLER 12” Crucial Roots PC Music PCDD 6 DUB UK

Not the rarest record in my current listings, but certainly one of my favourite 12” double-headers of Roots!

Judge for yourself LISTEN! That  brass/woodwind! WOW! And the drumming!

Essential for any collection in my opinion! 

A Side :

You Have Been Bad (Errol Dunkley)

B Side :

Millitant Man (Errol Dunkley and Golden)

A side produced by Errol Dunkley and T. Bow, B side produced by Errol Dunkley.

Conditions:

Record Condition Visually: VG+

A few very light surface marks, though as you can tell very little audible at all. Though I have quickly cleaned this record, I strongly recommend this could get a lot better with a more thorough clean.

Record Condition Audibly: VG+

Judge for yourself! Very little background noise at all! Listen to that silent drop down around the 4.30 mark of You Have Been Bad! Really lovely!

Label Conditions: VG

I think I went off a little half-cocked with the photos on this one, most of the discolourations visible on the photo have cleaned off very easily, though it’s still not perfect, has a slight abrasion (visible in the photo on the B side near the centre hole), and still very slight discolourations.

Sleeve Condition: VG-

A Die-Cut Green “Reggae Disco 45” text sleeve, with Jet Star info on the back, whilst not terribly affected by any one defect, has a little of everything! Damp wear, number 43 has been written in pencil in top corner,  “s” and “silver” text written in biro, and a sticker discolouration, and edge-wear, it sounds bad when you list them, but it’s acceptable!

DEADWAX INFO- MATRICES ETC.

A Side:

PCDD-06-A1

Utopia

B Side:

PCDD-06-B1

A Little about me and what/why I'm selling:

I have collected records for about 20 years, and have bought alot in that time, I want to get travelling, so need money, but I also need to have significantly less possessions to store whilst I'm away, therefore over the next few months I hope to sell much of my collection. I have some real rarities coming up so please do watch this space. Alot of the people I've sod to already are now regular return customers, I hope I can win you over also!

I will not rip you off in either the gradings or the postage, if you allow me time to weigh and invoice you I'll charge you what it costs me, but for more expensive items/packages I do INSIST on fully insured postage, I will not be held accountable for loss or damage to any expensive non-insured items. Sometimes the cost of postage will be slightly higher than that quoted in the listing (depending on where you are in the world and how expensive the item is) I expect you, the buyer to pay the cost of the postage it costs me! Hope that's understandable! 

I will of course, if you aren't ENTIRELY happy with your item offer you a full refund upon a quick return of the item, in exactly the same condition I sent it out in, I wont however cover the postage costs- just in order to put off any time-wasters, I hope you understand. I do have here some REAL MEGA-RARITIES, and I understand perhaps your confidence in me might not be complete, as I haven't listed for a while, which is why I offer this offer of full re-embursment. However I am not a fan of the trend of people trying it on and asking to keep the item but want a partial re-fund, I haven't had it happen to me, and want to keep it that way, so please don't try that, I will happily offer your full winning bid money back upon the safe return of the item, and I think that's fair. 

I am very strict with my grading, having been a collector myself for many years, and I try to include as much relavent information as possible on sales, however if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask, I will gladly resond as soon as I can.

One thing I would ask is that the winning bidders do leave feedback, as it's annoying when people overlook it.

I happily offer reductions of postage costs on multiple-items, 

I try grade using direct sunlight which shows up more than anything (hence where poss I take my photos in direct sunlight too), however living in the Pennine Hills, contrary to popular rumour it isn't sunny here EVERY day! So when this isn't always possible, as a backup I also use a 100 Watt lightbulb, though when poss I try to use both.

My Record Grading System:

Mint: I'm really loathe to use this term, if you ever catch me using it, it must be sealed, but also no holes in seal, and no knocks/bangs/other shelf-wear to seal. Doubt you'll ever catch me using it, makes me wince when I hear people dropping that casually into conversations about a record they just picked up on a carboot/found in a loft etc!

Near Mint: Probably still sealed, or possibly played once or twice, but I'm unable to see ANY proof it's been played ie. no spindle marks/surface abbrasions OF AN KIND even in the strongest light, in short, I have a strong suspicion this, whilst possibly not fully sealed has never been out of it's sleeve!

EX+: Must have been reverantly played about as many times as you can count on your hands! Absolutey nothing audible at all, and you'd have to be looking hard in strong light to find fault with any none audible elements of this record package. If I get hold of a record that sounds, and looks like it could have just been carried home from the shop this is about as high as I go unless in exceptional circumstances. In most instances I've found records like this I'd consider them the final upgrade, I'd even consider some sealed records EX+.

EX: Straight Excellent has to mean just that, the kind of copy you wonder how somebody kept it in that condition whilst still having a social life, especially rare in 50s/60s albums, certainly not a grade to be taken lightly or thrown about willy-nilly. Nothing should be audible to the listener during songs, and even in the silences I'd only allow the most minute groove noise.The kind of record that you'd have to look a long way to upgrade!

EX-: A Bloody lovely record, I'd allow the tiniest ticks to be audible on this, so long as they are only a handful throughout the entire record, and they are WELL back in the mix. This is a record/sleeve/insert etc. that has clearly been owned, but looked after to a degree that you ask questions about the previous owner's social life! Perfect for DJ-ing

VG+: The difference between VG+ and EX- for me is probably that the previous owner of an EX- possibly didn't have to worry about their collection being ruined too much, as they could count on their fingers the number of people that might have visited them annually, a VG+ is a more realistic grade, clearly played, but by a music lover, who took good care of their records. May have been present at social gatherings, but probably quickly tidied away when more rowdy guests turned up! Still usually  good for alot DJ-ing needs. 

VG: This is a good example of a record that has lived it's life without a glass bubble surrounding it, but it's owner has been quite careful, perhaps the odd feintly feelable mark if you go in search of it that would make an audible click/pop in a number of places on the records surface. Certainly won't be in any museum, but plays well from start to finnish, and whilst may not stand up to a DJs condition, alongside many collections, you'd be very satisfied.

VG-: As VG, but to a slightly heavier degree, might look a bit worse than a VG, else have the odd repeated click that bugs you in the fade-out of that epic side-ending song. Certainly not perfection, but you could do a damn-sight worse! OK for most collections, though there will be better ones that will probably come up (unless it's very rare!) 

G+:   This is starting to wane, shows more signifficant signs of wear/play/misuse. This could be through general carelesness, one bad night, or using a worn stylus, either way, certainly listenable/passable, but if you saw a better copy going at a decent price, you might think about buying it, and seeing what it's worth to sell this one.

G: Plays through but that's about it, signifficant noise that wasn't there when it was bought. Can still hear the song, but would only really be a filler. I doubt I'll sell anything this bad unless I really think someone will appreciate it in their collection. I'll take these down to the local charity shop and let them find their own homes on the whole!

I'll avoid anything less than this unless it's of signifficant interest, and then I'll clearly title is such. I really don't want bad feedback, and it isn't worth it for me, so I'll avoid this.

I feel my grading system is stricter than many I see used, but the sellers I respect on Ebay and elsewhere seem to be of the same mind as me, I'd much prefer to be known as someone who undergrades and you can get a good record from, than someone you have to wonder, "actually is their VG+ quite what I'd expect from that?". Hope I can win you over!

(SOMETIMES I MAY COME ACROSS A RECORD OF SIGNIFFICANT RARITY/DESIRABILITY THAT MAY HAVE A JUMP/STICK IN IT. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT I THINK SOMEONE MAY WANT IT (EG. IT'S COVER'S IN GOOD NICK, OR IT'S A PRIVATE PRESSING/PROMO OF LIMITED AVAILABILITY) I'LL CLEARLY MARK THIS IN THE TITLE "JUMPS" OR "WARPED" ETC.)
