Description
PASSIONFRUIT Smilin' Ed/Smilin' Ed (part II) (AU) Philips 6037 063 (1975 - 7 inch 45rpm vinyl single in company sleeve, rare original Australia only issue. Laidback cool small group jazz fusion/funk sound featuring keyboards and electric guitar with breezy female vocals coming in late. Labels say "Australian composition" but it ain't - it was written by American session players Russ Kunkel & Craig Doerge and first recorded by them with The Section. Dunno who Passionfruit were but they were definitely Aussie. Anyway, very rare)
This is the absolute last copy of this single I have.
Visual grade: disc EX- (to EX) ... this is one of the cleanest of the copies I had of this 45. I was going to keep this one myself but managed to make a recording of the music which can be sampled here: https://45boxsets.wordpress.com/storage-page-for-rare-recordings/
NOTE: I am most likely relocating back to South Korea on January 26. Please check my listings in the meantime as I will be listing many items at low-ish prices to sell before I leave. : )
I'm also listing some selected 45s on ebay for a friend, please take a look if interested at:

PLEASE NOTE: If this item is a 1970s Phonogram distribution 45 rpm 7 inch it is likely to be one from a source of unplayed deleted stock purchased from
a label rep. at that time and kept in storage since. I have multi copies of most and the picture above may be a generic one (from the first listing).
Any differences to label or the generic sleeve will be noted. All discs have been individually graded.
All 1970s Phonogram distribution 45 rpm 7 inchers come in reasonably clean original (correct) generic distro sleeves (most are very clean) and have mint labels (unless otherwise noted).
IMPORTANT: All records graded carefully under strong light. I have a long standing good reputation for grading and I strongly recommend taking a glance at my grading info linked below.
Detailed information on my grading system is here. If this record is made in South Korean please click here for further information about South Korean pressings. Postage combined for multiple items. 1-3 45s will be the same post cost as 1 item (Please wait for a combined post invoice if multiple items are won which are not free post) All CDs and DVDs are sent individually.PAYPAL ONLY - NO LOCAL PICKUPS. Thanks.
Visual grades for vinyl discs under strong light:
M Mint condition. This means unplayed, with no marks on playing surface and label is as new. Older records are extremely rare in this condition. M- Either unplayed, with minimum of scuffs caused by paper sleeve (an odd very faint scuff seen under strong light) , or played once or twice only and still as new. EX+ Played a few times and a few very light scuffs visible under strong light. M- and EX+ often translated to a grade of Near Mint EX Record played carefully, very clean surface, minimum scuffing. A very clean record. Labels are clean. EX- A grade slightly down from EX because of obvious light scuffs and perhaps an odd few light scratches. VG+ Over-all reasonable condition but more significant scuffing or light scratches are visible. VG Very good condition. A record with scuffing or signs of groove wear but no bad scratches. VG- A grade slightly below VG G Good. A well played record with plenty of scuffs and groove wear. F Fair. Record playable but heavily scuffed with a lot of surface noise. P Poor. Record has significant scratches and may skip or jump when played. Please note:FEEDBACK IS LEFT VIA AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM THAT IMMEDIATELY LEAVES FEEDBACK FOR BUYERS AFTER FEEDBACK HAS BEEN RECEIVED. I APPRECIATE FEEDBACK BEING LEFT FROM BUYERS IF POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT LETS ME KNOW THE ITEM HAS ARRIVED AND ALL IS OK. Sorry, I do not offer express post - this is very expensive within/from Australia and incures additional Ebay fee costs which are now also applied to postage. International postage costs are standard world-wide.
Some of the pics and info texts are same/similar to that on 45cat however my dad is the original source for this text/pics drawn from disc from this same stock.
