Description

PLEASE SEE GRADING SYSTEM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE

I've been collecting records for the past 20 years and have accumulated way too many.
Now with my wife pregnant, I have been told to get rid of them all to make space for a baby.
Keep an eye on my profile, there will be records going up for sale everyday.
I have 9 months.






Budgie - Never Turn Your Back On A Friend - 1st Pressing - A1/B1 - Vinyl


Cat: MDKS 8010

Matrix:
Side 1 - 7-LNMG-277-2L
Side 2 - 7-LNMG-278-1L


I examine all of my records directly under a 100 watt bulb, and so a lot of the marks I notice, will be unnoticeable in daylight.

Vinyl condition - The record is in EX+ condition. It has a few spindle marks near the centre hole of side two (on the label). I can't find anything else wrong with it - it  is a beatiful copy.

Gatefold sleeve condition - The back of the sleeve shows very faint signs of ring wear, and has a bit of shelf wear on the left hand corners which you can see in the pictures provided. The spine is pretty good. VG

Inner Sleeve - Has one or two marks from the factory adhesive used to stick the inner plastic bag. The inner plastic bag is only stuck to one side but is still workable.




Grading:

Being a collector myself, the grading system I employ is probably slightly more critical than someone who buys records to sell them. Collecting and researching vinyl has taken up a lot of life, just like it has probably taken up a lot of yours. I will be using the Record Collector system as my guide, but will include as much information as I feel necessary to describe my item.

I will never grade anything as Mint, as I don't believe it exists.
Near Mint would have to be sealed for my liking.
Excellent+ is virtually unplayed.
Excellent-  shows scarce signs of being used.
Excellent - can show a few surface marks but nothing consequential. Very light background noise.
VG+ can have surface marks, scarce non feelable abrasion. Light background noise in quieter passages, and infrequent tics.
VG can have surface marks, non feelable abrasion, the odd light scratch. Inconsequential background noise, occasional tics. Nothing which will ultimately get in the way of the listening experience.
VG- same as above but more so.
Good damage to the record is becoming clear. Audibly and cosmetically, the record has seen better days. Possibly even jumps occasionally
Good- getting a bit too much to handle. The longevity of your stylus starts to become more important than the songs you are listening to.
Average get it in the bin. Don’t bother with it. Just the sight of it gets on your nerves. You think it might be ok with a clean, but it never is. It's making me a bit sick thinking about it.
Poor not even worth buying off a carbootsale for 50p.

Notice how I don't include Good+, Average+, Average-. The reason for this is because I don't really deal with records in that state.





Happy Bidding!
