Description
John Surman How many Clouds can you see? SML 1045 UK Deram First pressing 1W /1W Matrix ending First and only pressing
This is one of the Rarest pressing by John Surman and was always rare first copy I have seen over the years date from 1970 and was on the Deram label its got lots of people that are well known in the jazz world people like Harold Beckett, Mike Osborne, Malcolm Griffiths and John Taylor. I haven't listed the tracks but feel free to ask if needed its well known by people its along the same lines as Keith Tippet etc.
I have only played it once my self since new and looks like it was played very little showing hardly anything really side two looks as new really, I have listed start price as its very hard to find you can always ask more Lables have about three spindle marks each side.
Cover
Well as shown the cover is very nice and clean with Laminated cover to the Front as most Deram records and Matt Rear you should be able to see there is some slight color change to the opening edge the front otherwise looking nice and clean its hard to see from the scan but some of the area next to the spine has lifted slighty at the top edge of spine and Bottom edge of spine area but this has not split or started to come apart. Spine area all text clean and readable the back shows a little light color change mainly near the back opening edge and small amount of rubbing to the top and bottom edges where it was next to other records. You can ask me for more scans if needed its still a very nice sleeve and would class and amost top by most. Ex-/EX
Record/Vinyl
The Record is very glossy and clean side one has few tiny almost unseen sleeve paper type marks that you have to turn into the ligth to view not surface marking, no Scatches or other damage, Side Two almost looking unplayed with no marks to view. The record would meet the M- grade by many and I don't think it was played much but I feel I want to say Ex but its very nice copy. EX
Playback
It plays really nice clean playback odd light crackle at the run in side one and odd very light crackle when the track is very low hardly much Side two seems even nicer very clean playing copy for the collector. Ex
My Record Grading System (Based On UK Record Collector Guide)
I Try and play all my items before Listing Please Check my own Details Record/playback IfYou want to Ask Please Feel Free to do so Always Happy to Talk about Records.
I always give Clear Information on all items such as the Sleeves and Records,
Along with Extra items like Inners or Posters etc.
PLEASE NOTE I DON”T USE “MINT” MY HIGHEST GRADE IS NEAR MINT OR M-
(M) Rarely used unless Item is still un-open new. Mainly for new or Re-issue Records
(M-) OR NEAR MINT (A Fantastic Collector Copy)
Very Clean Item with little signs of use, looking almost as new both sides clean with No Scratches
or Surface marks there might be odd Paper marks. Should any copy fail to meet this grade I Prefer to list
down a grade but I always provide sufficient information.
(Ex) (Collector Copy)
The Record has clearly been Played shows some signs of enjoyment, Strong Copy Retaining Full Crisp sound.
Might be odd surface Line or Few Very Minor hairline marks or a few Scuffs. Playback would Still Be Ace with
no Playback Issues.
(EX-) OR (VG+) (Good Keeper Copy)
This Grade means that the copy may have slightly more signs of use but would always have Good Crisp sound.
It might have extra paper marks or Few Hairlines or even an odd Scratch this would not be Audible unless said
and how the Scratches affects the Record would clearly be listed.
(VG) (KEEPER COPY)
The Item has clearly been played many times but Despite Visual Marks Like Hair lines or Scratches and Some
Surface marks. The Sound Still Retains Good playback, if there is a scratch that Sounds I clearly indicate
where it occurs and how it affects the track playing time.
When I use a Grade less than VG it would normally be due to a record being very rare or a sleeve that I feel
does not fit with VG due to Repairs or damage mostly records under VG are Only Fit for the Bin. But if you
are unsure just ask.
