I HAVE JUST ACQUIRED A SMALL COLLECTION OF A DOZEN OR SO ROCK N ROLL LP's INCL JOHNNY BURNETTE , JERRY LEE LEWIS , FATS DOMINO , LITTLE RICHARD , THE CHAMPS , THE CHANTAYS AND EDDIE COCHRAN , I WILL BE LISTING ALL OVER THE NEXT WEEK OR SO AND I MUST SAY THIS REALLY IS A VERY NICE COLLECTION .
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RECORD HAS BEEN VACUUM CLEANED ON BOTH SIDES USING MY PROJECT PRO CLEANING MACHINE THANK YOU .
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL RECORDS , CD's , CASSETTES AND DVD's ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED FROM START TO FINISH INCLUDING ALL SIDES FOR ALL DOUBLE AND TRIPLE ALBUMS AND BOX SETS THANK YOU .
ALL RECORDS ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED ON MY TRUSTY AIWA TURNTABLE AND GOOD QUALITY JVC AMP . THIS DOES ONLY HAVE A STD BASS AND TREBLE CONTROL WHICH I HAVE SET ON A HIGH " TINNY " SETTING . I LIKE TO SET IT LIKE THIS AS IT PICKS UP EVEN THE VERY SLIGHTEST BIT OF NOISE SO I KNOW I CAN DESCRIBE EVERY LP CORRECTLY ETC . I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT PLAYED ON BETTER OR TOP QUALITY SYSTEMS WITH GREATER AND MORE TECHNICAL SOUND CONTROL ETC , THESE RECORDS WILL SOUND A LOT BETTER THAN I HAVE DESCRIBED . I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I OFTEN GIVE RECORDS ANOTHER QUICK PLAY ON THE FIRST COUPLE OF TRACKS ON MY PERSONAL TOP QUALITY PIONEER SYSTEM AND I DO FIND THAT MOST OF ANY NOISES LIKE CRACKLE ETC ARE MUCH MUCH QUIETER , SOME EVEN HARDLY SOUND AT ALL . I TEST EVERY RECORD AND FIND THAT MY AIWA WILL COVER MANY OTHER SIMILAR SET UPS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE , I DID WANT TO JUST POINT THIS OUT , THANK YOU .
Please note that i do tend to use " Very Good Condition " for most of my records , although none are heavily scratched etc and most will just have some general light surface marks only . The only exception to this is if the record does have scratches and lots of marks etc but is very rare and collectable and will be described in great detail . I never use " Mint " or " Near Mint " unless the record is unopened from it's original shrink wrap and is clearly unplayed . Even with these i am wary because if the record has been stored for years in maybe a damp garage or loft etc and has not been opened , then we can only presume it should be mint because we obviously can't actually see the record . Everyone obviously has their own opinions as to what is very good and excellent , but in my case , i tend to think that most , if not all records do have marks to some degree ( lots even from new ! ) purely because they are vinyl and mark easy and have been used over a considerable amount of time in most cases . This is why i use Very Good most of the times . This is also why i do go into great detail with my descriptions , as the term " Very Good " can be a bit vague . I do use " Excellent Condition " sometimes , but in my case , i would class this as not played very much at all , excellent shine and just a handful of the very lightest and small surface hairline marks only , most only being visible under a light , so you know that when i use excellent , i really do mean excellent . Lots of my records as you can see by my feedback are better than described , more better than very good and closer to near ( if not ) excellent and i do pride myself on this fact , this is why i do use mainly " Very Good " but with very detailed descriptions also of which i will say i can go a little OTT with noise and general condition and can often make a record sound bad when it really isn't , i do just try my best to say how it is , but as i say please do check my feedback and you will see you can bid with confidence , thank you .

Johnny Burnette Sings LP Rare London Plum Pro Cleaned. On UK London Plum / Silver Print Labels HA-G 2375 Mono . 
COVER: Laminated ( front only ) cover in a very very strong between very good and near excellent overall condition and still very nice and clean . I do think most people may say this is actually airing a lot closer to the near excellent side and some may even say closer to excellent generally , but i always prefer to under grade . I must say though that this cover really is in great shape overall , you really don't see many of these more notoriously flimsy covers in this condition nowadays , please see the full description below :
FRONT: Very nice and clean and still retains a lovely sheen . There are some usual but quite small surface laminate crease lines in places round the outer edges but none of these have an often seen brown tinge to them and they haven't cracked and there are just three or four very light ones towards the opening edges . There are really hardly any obvious  surface marks , just a very very few usual but extremely faint hairlines , two or three very small and very light surface dents in places and one near pin head sized spot mark near the opening edge , there is no fading and it still retains all of it's colour superbly . I will say that there is one single very very light and very soft surface only dent line running across the centre of the cover , but this really is very light only and i must stress that this certainly isn't a hard crease , just a very soft surface dent line , i have shown this in the photos and i think it shows up and as you can see , it really is very light only .There are the usual ringwear marks with just the usual impression of the outer edge of the record which are more evident towards the corners as is always the case , overall though , these are mostly quite light with the hardest one being towards the bottom left corner which i have shown in the photos , there are no obvious signs of any rubbing etc from the label section . This really is one of the best overall ( front ) examples i've seen in a very long time .
TOP / BOTTOM MAIN EDGES: ( Not Including Corners And Right Next To Corners Please See Corner Description ) . TOP EDGE: No obvious signs of rub wear on the laminated part , just a couple of tiny laminate cracks . BOTTOM EDGE: Mostly the same with just a very small patch which is slightly rough to the touch if you run your finger over it , but i must stress that this is not visible at all when looking at the edge and there is no peeling on it . 
MAIN SPINE EDGE: ( Not Including Corners And Right Next To Corners Please See Corner Description ) . Again in very nice shape overall . The thin spine is slightly pinch ended with just a very few ( two or three ) usual but very light and tiny surface laminate creases in places and just a very few very light dent wear spots in two or three places . All text is legible and still bold and bright . 
OPENING EDGES: In great shape overall with any wear being extremely minimal indeed and with just a very very slight bit of gapping but both edges are nice and straight , in fact the only really obvious wear , which is still very light only , is just near the top and bottom corners and is just the usual but  light bit of rubbing on the small folded back parts on the inside where the cover was glued , any thing else really is just a very very very few tiny dents etc and again mainly on the inside lip outer edge .
CORNERS: Some usual but very very light and very very small bits of fray / dent wear on the corners , all being confined to the tip ends only . There are , being a bit picky a few tiny crease / dents very tight onto the corners , but these really are very small indeed , anything really just consistent with age and use etc .  
REAR: Again in really great shape . There is the same soft dent line as mentioned on the front description , very slightly more prominent but still very light only and only really visible on the right hand half of the cover . Really very few obvious surface marks , anything really just being the very very faintest bit of age related fading very close to the edges , but this really is very minimal indeed , there are just a very very few extremely light signs of handling in places , but again this is really extremely minimal indeed . A very few ( three or four ) usual but very very small and very light surface crease lines in places on the right hand side outer edge where the laminate folds round . There are the usual but very very light ringwear marks with just a very light impression of the outer edge of the record in places , again mainly towards the corners , but very light only , there are no obvious signs of any rubbing from the label section . This rear really is in great shape for it's considerable age and very clean , as i say , it's been a long time since i saw a cover in this sort of condition , a really very nice example .
INNER SLEEVE: Printed on one side poly lined paper inner sleeve in very good overall condition . A very few very small and light general surface / age related / handling marks in places and some age related fading / foxing etc , a bit darker round the edges , but nothing overly excessive . The usual but quite light ringwear marks . A very few light surface crease marks in places and there are the usual more prominent creases caused by the outer edge of the record on and near the corners . Some very very light normal useage wear on the top opening edges . The one top right corner tip end only has become unglued , but this is just on the corner top end only . I can't confirm if this is the original inner sleeve , but it is consistent with the time period . 
LABELS: Plum / silver print paper labels in near excellent condition . Very nice and clean with just three or four light and small usual spindle marks mainly on S2 label , being picky , there are three or four ( only really one that is more obvious but still tiny ) extremely tiny silver coloured spot marks at approx two o'clock on S1 label , but this looks like the same silver colour as is on the text , but these really are tiny . Both labels are writing free .
RECORD: The overall visual grade of the playing surface under normal average household light conditions is a very strong near excellent condition , though i think a lot may say airing a little closer to the actual excellent side overall with just a very very few extremely light and faint hairline surface marks on both sides and just a very very very few other very small extremely light surface marks in places ( one larger but still very light non feelable non sounding , similar to a bag sweat mark on S2 T1 , really very light ) , most of the very very few fine hairlines and some of the very very few extremely light and small surface marks are also only more visible when held at certain angles to or under a light , there are no nasty deep gouges / nasty deep scratches etc whatsoever . I will say that there is what appears to be a line which runs round the blank run off just before the actual very end of the run off on both sides , they do appear to be done as part of the manufacturing process and to me appear to be machine done but obviously i can't confirm this , in saying this , they also can be felt , it just causes the arm to stop just very slightly short of where the usual blank run off ends , it does give off a loud noise as it hits this line , on my deck the arm automatically returned on S1 but i had to do it manually on S2 as it did not return automatically , i must admit i am at a loss to know what this line is . As i don't know what they are and because of this quite loud noise , to be sure , all i did in the end on my second testing was to just take the arm off when the record had finished and before it reached the line and again to be sure i would also recommend this action if you are unsure , i have shown this in the last photo so you can see exactly what i mean . Obviously this had no affect on the music playback at all as it is just on the run offs only .
AUDIO A SIDE: It plays perfectly crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really very little in the way of noise , all i really heard was the mostly very very occasional very light isolated single "sch" noise in places mostly on some of the quieter parts on the music , mainly three or four one after the other on the intro and as the music fades on T2  and anything else as i say really was the very very occasional very light isolated one in places , i say mainly as these "sch" noises were also heard on the silent track changeover lines . There was no nasty crackle and no nasty loud ticks etc , there may have been just two or three odd extremely faint pops in places . This side on the music really does play and sound great overall and the audio tones are still awesome . There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a very nice shine . 
AUDIO B SIDE: It plays beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really hardly any obvious noise worthy of mention , there was no nasty crackle and no nasty ticks , in fact a very great deal of this side played close to virtually noise free on the music , if anything , there may have been the very faintest , very briefest bit of extremely faint background only noise in a very very very few places , but blink and you miss it , there were a very very few odd extremely light isolated pops in places on the last track and maybe just three or four other extremely faint isolated ones in places , but really barely heard , there obviously are the odd light pop heard on the silent run ins and silent track changeover lines , though i must say that even the majority of these were very quiet indeed generally . This side on the music really does play and sound fantastic and the audio tones are still awesome . There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a very nice shine . There really is hardly anything to report on this side on the music , any of the very odd bits of noise on the music were ultra light background only and mega mega occasional as i say and any being over super quick . I really can't stress enough how good this side plays and sounds ! .
All in all a very nice overall example of this now very collectable and rare item . Thank you very much for your time and interest and happy bidding . Please do read the following ref record gradings explained thank you . 
Near Excellent: The visual grading of the playing surface shows that the record has obviously been played but shows only light signs of this , a few of the lightest non feelable surface marks being mostly very fine hairlines will be present , but it displays no deterioration in sound quality . Some brief very light noise and very occasional usual light pop maybe present in places and would be acceptable on some quieter parts , but none of this will be loud or constant . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Please note that whilst I haven’t increased my postage charges for quite a while now , this now other recent price increase , has seen me unfortunately have to put a slight increase on my postage charges . This is also topped with the rise in cost for quality card mailers , jiffy bags , stiffeners , other packaging materials etc , Ebays 10% extra fee for seller postage costs plus their other fees and Paypal now charging 20p per item sold on Ebay plus their other fees . Please also note that I now send ALL non GF LP’s / 12" singles with a minimum of 3 stiffeners and all 7" singles with a minimum of 2 stiffeners ( more if i think they are needed ) , i never and don't agree with making money from postage and with all the added fees / extra stiffeners etc , most of my records including LP's sell for between £2 and £6 so all of this whilst not sounding a lot , does soon mount up and i actually do lose money on posting records , but I do obviously want to still remain competitive and still offer my usual top quality service , sorry again for this , thank you .
