Description
This is a set of 3 Original mid 1970's, I believe, Ronnie Spector/ The Ronettes Acetate 7" singles. Both sides, of all 3 acetate singles, have a track on them. There are also some vintage 1960's Ronettes performances on some sides. These are mixed with some more recent, mid 1970's, Ronnie Spector & The Ronettes tracks. I'm not entirely sure if these Acetate 7" singles were pressed in the U.S. or the UK. There is not much information on either the labels or sleeves. The Acetate's have plain red generic labels with either "A" or "B" printed on the relevant side. A very nice item for any Ronnie Spector or The Ronettes fan or collector. Please note that I have put one of the tracks, on each single, on Youtube for you to hear. I have listed them individually below:
1. Acetate 1: Has "Long Run In" & "1.50" handwritten in small writing on the A-side label. "3.08" is written neatly on the B-side label. It has its original plain brown paper sleeve.
A-side: "I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine" (Mid 1970's performance) (Please listen to this acetate version on Youtube) (Please search, in Youtube, Ronnie Spector & The Ronettes - I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine - Acetate)
B-side: "Be My Baby" (1960's Live Performance)
2. Acetate 2: Has "Tom Cat" & "3.05" handwritten in small writing on the A-side label. "DJay" and "2.37" is written neatly on the B-side label. It has its original plain white paper sleeve.
A-side: "Unknown Track??" (Mid 1970's) (Please listen to this track on Youtube) (Please search, in Youtube, Ronnie Spector & The Ronettes - I'd Be Good For You - Acetate)
B-side: "Something Tells Me (Something's Gonna Happen Tonight) (1960's Live Performance)
3. Acetate 3: Has something written that is too faint to read & is barely visible. "3.37" is handwritten in small writing on the A-side label. The B-side label has nothing written on it. "Not Mixed" is written on the plain paper sleeve. It has its original plain white paper sleeve.
A-side: "Paradise" (The Ronettes, 1960's version) (Please listen to this acetate version on Youtube) (Please search, in Youtube, Ronnie Spector & The Ronettes - Psaradise - Acetate)
B-side: "Why Don't They Let Us Fall In Love" (The Ronettes, 1960's version)

The original company paper sleeve is in VG+ condition. There is some light or mild ringwear & a small bit of writing. It has no seam splits.

Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.
EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.
NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elobarated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition.

All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7". I use a cruciform box for larger orders (4-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
Sorry, I only accept Paypal, or money sent in a registered letter from overseas buyers.
Please note that I cannot reimburse payments for any uninsured items lost in the post. Sorry!
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
