Where in my post did I state that every copy was sold? Sold to a high school kid who gave it to their girlfriend, who in one way or another caused the record to become in a less that mint state twenty years + later when you found them?

Listen the the Cashmere's 'Showstopper' and around 7 second in, you can hear someone cough!

Mint copies will probably quite hard to find. I met a record dealer in the US who was in high school at the time in Detroit and apparently it was a local 'hit' because they would buy it and give it to their girlfirends, who either binned it or played it to death!

ooooo

Sure it was a legit release; the 7" has a proper label, just the 12"'s are a white label.

Thanks for that Chalky. My intention is to start selling stuff off and would want to purposely lower the grading a tad so that I don’t spend more time arguing over the grading, than the time I’ve spent collecting them!

Unreleased Virtue Recording Studio acetate produced by Weldon McDougal. Label says: "YOU NEED LOVE" "IRMA & WELDON"

Right, done mine now. Most are £10 according to JM's site, a couple are £15 - £20, so all should be £10 at the most. Can I ask that nobody posts their track lists up as it spoils the fun of waiting for the CD to turn up and being pleacently surprised!

That's the one. Bit more 'disco' isn't it? About £100 touch?

Remind me of the title of the other one, Simon.

What do people regard as the definitive guide to record grading? There often seems to be quite significant differences between sellers. Also differences between to UK and US as to the use of grade (M, E, Vg & G. The use of +’s & -‘s) If a record is worth £100 in mint condition, what % of the £100 should you use for E, Vg etc? Is there a ‘standard’ reduction for problems such as WOL, warps, cue burn, surface noise, crack etc? Would it be worthwhile to create a definitive guide?

Does anyone know of a good “Noddy’s guide” to using Paypal? I’m an interest in how you should use Paypal when selling records to your best advantage i.e. giving as little to them as need be! Are there any advantages / disadvantage to the kind of account you use? What pitfalls to look out for, common scams etc? Any suitable or better alternatives?

Wasn't this off a Japanese comp form a few years ago following a tour by him?

If it's got a big hole in the middle: Get a piece of cardboard (a 7" record mailer packer will do fine) and make a hole in the middle of it the size of the spindle on your record deck and stick it on your deck. Put the record on it without an adapter and move it about until is plays OK. Press down on the record and score around the centre with a pen. Cut the 'new' centre out of the cardboard, just beyond the pen mark, and put it into the record. Stick it back in the spinde and move the record around the cardboard centre until it plays OK. Make a mark or two on the new centre and the record to show the correct place it should be inside the record.

There's a thread titled 'rousing intros' that might be of interest too here: /index.php?showtopic=34044 I'd go for the Salvadors and the Mello Souls

Yes it's a test press, the pressing plant would have done it for Polydor to check quality control. All the details correspond with the released single. I'll take it of your hands if you want to move it on.

what format did EOL come out on? I thought it was an album track only. TIA

You can get a legit PA re-release of it. /index.php?showtopic=24549
