SAM COOKE - SHAKE LP RARE UK 1ST PRESS MONO RCA RD7730 CHANGE GONNA COME. 1965
Condition is "Used". This is the original mono recording - As the song says - "A change is gonna come!"
Plays perfect and sleeve in near mint condition. Crystal clear sound both sides. Dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class.
I always play the records and then photograph them and try to show as much detail as possible. It was only when I did this that I noticed a mark on side 1 - never heard it when I played it - and didn't hear it when I was listening out for it. See photo for detail - if it wasn't for that I would rate the record and sleeve as near mint. As you see from the photos you need the lighting to be just right to be able to see the mark.
If you are buying a record you want to buy the best available and I think this is as good an example as you will find. Perfect sound throughout, crystal clear. Sleeve near mint - see photos.
Will be posted in a professional box. Postage combined if you buy more than one of my records.
Because you are looking at this listing you know that there is nothing to beat the sound of vinyl record. The record has only ever played with 2gm tracking and kept clean.
The photos show the detail. The sleeve is in near mint condition with no tears or markings. Original inner sleeve a bit faded but no rips or tears.
On the grading system below I would grade the record as Excellent with the sleeve as near mint.
MINT: Perfect! This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws at all. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No wear to the cover or to the records.
NEAR MINT-: this record appears virtually flawless A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. Any flaw is very hard to see. The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is close to perfect.
EXCELLENT : minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be slight scuffs but the Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear). Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and must not be obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white with slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.
VERY GOODPLUS : Record shows wear, possibly surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster. Flaws must not cause any surface noise. COVERS: A clean cover, but may have small writing on it. The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper may be slightly yellowed due to age. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes. The corners can be slightly dog eared yet no defacing of the artwork. A VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.
VERY GOOD : this record will look a bit worn, but it will STILL play very good but with some surface noise. The Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear to have been played but still have some luster. The covers will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting . There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. There may be some writing on the cover. It will look aged.
GOOD : A good record will look well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record should still play. It may have distracting surface noise such as a crackle and may have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches. A Good cover may have seam splits (possibly taped repaired, but only with scotch tape.
I would not offer a record that is not Very good or better for sale.
