GRADING:

M- Perfect or nearly so. May have a small paper scuff or tiny mark, but very, very clean.

E+ A couple more marks than a M- record, but they won't sound, a pretty record with great fidelity.

E Full gloss, some light marks and scratches, looks good, plays well.

E- Still good shine, numerous marks and/or scratches, but they will be light.

VG+ Lots of marks and/or scratches, not ruined but not pretty.

VG Scruffy looking but plays through all right, though likely with persistent noise.

Note: These records are in the U.S. Shipping is £4 for the first record plus £1 for each additional. Orders over £100 must include £12 for registration, so the package can be tracked. Of course, anything can be returned for a full refund if you're not satisfied.

PRICES ARE IN UK POUNDS

LABEL ARTIST TITLE GRADE/NOTES UKP

-- Nite Riders Kathy E- 100

--Oddball unkown, A-side is group soul ballad with spoken intro, B-side is raucous party soul. No label name, no sign of where it's from. Sounds like an early "˜70s basement production.

521 Paul Walters I Know What Love Is All About E- to E, lt. lbl wear 800

--nice copy, little soiling at the label crest

Acetate Dusty Wilson It's Going to Be a Tragedy E 200

--Label was originally typed up as though for a record with a small center hole, and all the paper for the large center hole is gone. Says "Mutt Record Productions"Â with address at top, bit of title and artist name still intact, but most of both is gone, since it would have been over the center hole. Seven-inch record plays at 33 1/3 with significant acetate hiss throughout, though the music is clear and undistorted. Plays quieter than most records, so needs to have the volume turned up. Blank B-side. Okay play copy, but needs to be eq'd for the hiss.

Acetate Conversations The Rain E 800

-- Superb group soul/group harmony, unreleased, comes with card advertising the group, though it's impossible to tell from the card where they were from.
