BOLLYWOOD EP: Gaban Angel TAE 1324 ( pressed in India ) TRACK LISTING see photo for track listing
A original 1966 Indian Angel EP. Though the cover has visible flaws, which is quite common as Indian origin jackets generally are of relatively poorer quality, the vinyl looks excellent and plays well ( see results of my play grading below) . I have housed them with new sleeves after cleaning and play grading as I do with all my albums listed( unless they are sealed). See results of the play grading ( and equipment used) below.
I have been inactive on EBay for the last few years as I opened a shop here in Singapore and only recently restarted. I will be placing the harder to find albums on eBay in addition to my own local sales. As I tend to clean and play grade all opened copies, I will only be placing a rather limited quantity each time though I expect the frequency to be more in view of the current Covid situation which does enable one to have relatively more time. One can follow me on Facebook under For The Record Singapore.
International Buyers – Please Note:Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.Buyers please also note that I am based in Singapore .The maximum Ebay postage charges allowed would not cover shipping from Singapore let alone signed for, registered mail.Please read my shipping costs section below.( Recently I shipped 3 albums to UK and found that the postal authorities have changed the rates significantly. The lead times also seem relatively longer)
GRADING RESULTS: Visual grading:
The jacket generally looks VG. . There are visible flaws like tears especially sling the entry side and creases.
Both sides of the vinyl looks clean under normal light. It maintains its shine and brilliance. The spindle hole shows minimal signs of wear. Tracking at 1.7g, on a Linn LP on a stereo cartridge, there were some very light surface noise at the beginning of each side which were not too intrusive and the playing could be graded as VG++ . There were no skips or loud pops. I understand as it might be system dependent. Playing with a mono cartridge, it actually sounded excellent.
How I Clean and Grade my Records Cleaning is usually done on two machines ie the UK made Loricraft PRC 6cleaning machine and the Clearaudio Double Matrix Professional Sonic machine for final cleaning. I use the US made Groovewasher 2 stage cleaning solution.
Playback Equipment: Playback is through a Linn LP12 turntable/ Radikal/Urika/Keel/ Ekos SE tonearm with a Linn Krystal cartridge.Amplification is through a Naim 52 preamp/2x135s into a factory rebuilt Wilson Watt Puppy. For Monos I use a second Linn LP 12 with AroKeel/ Naim Aro tonearm and a Miyajima Mono cartridge
Shipping costs I use brand new custom made plastic sleeves for the sleeve and anti static plastic sleeves for the vinyl. Shipping is always by Airmail and by registered post as it allows one to track items in case of delays. Shipping costs in US $ are:
UK/USA/Europe : $10 Each additional LP: $4 up to 1 kg However, recently I note that with the increased postal rates, packages comprising of more than 1 kg incur a much higher rate and I will inform buyers of the actual amount. Rest Of The World: ask for rates
Postage is via Airmail, "signed for" delivery. I prefer signed for delivery as it allows me to "chase" on my side if buyers do not get their items within 3 weeks though so far this has only happened rarely. However with the current Covid situation, buyers can expect some delays
