Description
N.B. shipping from South Africa is unfortunately very expensive. Worldwide shipping via Registered Airmail (default shipping method) is GBP 19. Bjorn Benny & Anna Frida - Ring Ring - ABBA rare South African LP - Sunshine Records 1973 cat # SLP 1 Sunshine Records / Distributed by Trutone (Pty.) Ltd / interpak Labels have spindle marks. Vinyl has several light scuffs, scratches, and some paper dust, but there are no serious defects (i.e. there is no warping, and there are no feelable scratches.) VINYL: The LP is USED and plays with some surface noise - mostly in the form of crackle and, every now and then, 'pop's - but this does not spoil enjoyment of the music. While surface noise is present throughout, one's ears adjust, and this becomes part of the listening experience. On average, the LP play grades somewhere between 4.5 out of 10 and 5.5 out of 10. Plays right through without 'skips' or 'jumps'. There is wear, but not distortion. Not a copy for fussy collectors, but not "trashed" either. Still playable and enjoyable. COVER: grades as POOR. It has creases, ring wear, laminate 'bubbling', noticeable marks (including a light blue pen mark on the front of the cover). It has dirt, wear to the opening ('feathering') and wear to the corners. The rear of the cover has parted company with the front of the cover (at the bottom seam) but this can be re-glued. On the plus side, the writing on the spine is still legible and there are no seam splits and the cover is still functional. The original inner sleeve is heavily creased and has 'splits' on the sides but is still functional.
Grading:
Note:
- Please keep in mind that records may grade slightly differently using different turntables and sound systems and that the process of grading is also invariably subjective.
- Play is often variable for most records. Even sealed or “new” records may not play with the same grade right the way through as there may be scratches or pressing flaws which are often only picked up when the record is played.
- We grade conservatively and endeavour to provide potential bidders/ buyers with an accurate or representative assessment of condition.
- We don’t use “EX”.
Vinyl:
Sealed (presumed Mint) – 10 out of 10
VG++ (hardly any surface noise, or only the faintest traces of surface noise; generally very clean, quiet) – 8 or 9 out of 10
VG+ (some occasional surface noise heard in the background but play is fine) – 6 or 7 out of 10
VG (surface noise is heard more often – and is heard clearly in the same ‘space’ as the music – but is not especially intrusive, becomes part of the listening experience) – 5 or 6 out of 10
VG- (fairly frequent surface noise, sometimes intrusive i.e. starts to detract from the listening experience) – 4 out of 10
G (continuous and noticeable or very noticeable surface noise, often ‘competing’ with the music; still playable) – 3 out of 10
P (“trashed” or badly abused; terribly noisy, with distortion, skips, jumps: not really playable or enjoyable; listed as a “filler” copy because of its rarity) – 1 or 2 out of 10
