An original rare Australia only EP housed in a fully laminated jacket with flapjacks at the reverse. Though I am of the view that it appeals more to collectors than a serious audiophile, I nevertheless put it through my usual cleaning and listening tests to see if there are any serious flaws( see results of my grading, both visual and play grading below). Though the jacket has a flaw, the vinyl generally looks good and plays well.I have housed it in new custom made inner paper sleeves though it will be shipped with the origina jacket.
I have been inactive on EBay for the last few years as I opened a shop here in Singapore and 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.
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 UK lists for shipping is 9.5 GBP but this would not cover shipping from Singapore let alone signed for, registered mail.Please read my shipping costs section below.
GRADING RESULTS: Visual grading: The jacket is generally VG. There is a circular tear at the spine and it generally looks aged but there are no other major flaws.
Visually the vinyl looks VG+ to VG++t on side 1 with some very light surface lines which did not affect play or cause skips. .Tracking at 1.7g, on a Linn LP12, there was some extraneous surface noise but they were not intrusive. There were no skips or loud pops.The playing can be graded as VG+ to VG++. Playing with the mono set up, the playing was more towards Excellent as the extraneous surface noise declined considerably.
How I Clean and Grade my Records Cleaning is usually done on a Loricraft PRC4D cleaning machine and using the US made Walker Audio stage cleaning solution.
Playback Equipment: Playback is through a Linn LP12 turntable/ Radikal/Urika/Keel Naim Aro tonearm/Lyra Helikon SL cartridge.Amplification is through a Naim 52 preamp/2x135s into a factory rebuilt Wilson Watt Puppy. For Monos I use a second Aro/Miyajima Mono though I change them occasionally as the arm tubes can be easily transferred from one deck to another.
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 $12.5 Each additional 45: $ 6 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 2 weeks though so far this has only happened with
price rating
