~ A MUST HAVE FOR ANY TAMLA / SOUL COLLECTOR

* THIS SINGLE DISPLAYS THE MOTHER STAMPER 1/G ~ E. M. I record labels(Stateside, Parlophone, Tamla, Columbia, Stax, Liberty, United Artists and Bell Included) use the following coding: G R A M O P H L T D (Gramophone Ltd) where G=1, R=2, A=3, M=4, O=5, P=6, H=7, L=8, T=9 and D=0.  (These are printed on the runoff ~ If the Matrix No. is 6o'clock, these are 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock) Therefore, many times you will see more then one letter etched in the dead wax in the Stamper location (3 o'clock). For example, if "MM" is etched, it means the record was pressed with the 44th stamper. The ultimate early pressing of any single (distributed by labels under the E. M. I umbrella) would be denoted with the codes 1/G 1/G (side 1 and side 2), where the "1" represents the first Mother (9 o'clock) and the "G" denotes the first Stamper (3 o'clock) Generally only Demos, Factory samples and the first couple of hundred records will have this code!

Dear collector, we are the BARRACLOUGH Brothers of CollectableVinylRecords. 

Sam and I have established a reputation as a TRUSTED supplier of  RARE vinyl, based upon HONEST and THOROUGH descriptions of our items.  Together we have undertaken the task of selling our father’s extensive record collection, which he has amassed during his time as a DJ and MUSIC CRITIC.  It’s a considerable, and unique vinyl collection of albums and singles with many rare items included.  In addition to the known rare records there are many DEMO and PROMOTIONAL items, which were not available for general purchase making them highly collectable.  The chronology of the collection stretches from the early 1960s to the early 1980s.   Within this period, there is a concentration of records released between 1965 and 1969 - a seminal era for music that is reflected by its collectability.  Although the spectrum of musical genre is varied, this collection heavily features PSYCHEDELIC, FREAKBEAT, PUNK, MOTOWN and NORTHERN SOUL.  All our items have a low start price of £4.99, because we believe that each will reach its true market value  ~  This is thanks, largely to our loyal client base we have aquired for consistently listing HIGHLY COLLECTABLE Vinyl.   Fresh RARE records usually start on a Thursday, ending 10 days later on the Sunday Afternoon/Evening.

If you have any questions concerning this item or wish to enquire about my record collection please contact me by asking a question via EBAY or EMAIL ~ collectablevinylrecords@gmail.com. We will aim to reply within 24 HOURS where possible.

GRADING POLICY””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””

We have a data-based collection, using the RARE RECORD PRICE GUIDES' grading scale (If you are unaware of this grading system please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will reply as soon as possible with the guides description). As you can see in the description there is a grading given for VINYL and AUDIO QUALITY.  This is necessary because a record may seem poor quality when viewed, but when played the AUDIO QUALITY is often excellent.  Conversely the VINYL QUALITY may seem excellent but when played the AUDIO QUALITY can be quite poor.    ** NOTE ~ If there is any information on this item currently missing i.e - There is no 'AUCTION PLAYER', when stated in the 'AUDIO QUALITY GRADING' there should be at the bottom of the listing.  These changes will usually rectified on FRIDAY MORNING ~ This is usually the cause of any 'REVISIONs' which are stated.

We will offer a FULL REFUND (INCLUDING P + P) if you find that any of the gradings (OUTER SLEEVE, LABEL, VINYL or AUDIO QUALITY) given in the listing do not match the description of RARE RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM.  A FULL REFUND (INCLUDING P + P) policy prohibits scammers, but more importantly ensures our TRUE COLLECTORS complete piece of mind.  As you can see by my feedback, we have attained a STRONG REPUTATION based upon the ACCURACY of my description, COMMUNICATION with clients and a quick and PROFESSIONAL postage.  So, in the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied, please notify me within 48 HOURS of receipt that you are returning the record and we will deposit your refund via PAYPAL.

 For DOMESTIC delivery I offer a choice of ROYAL MAIL 1st Class  ,  1st Class Recorded Signed For  or Special Delivery Next Day  .  Our regular domestic buyers may notice we have recently removed our 2nd Class option ~ This is due to some problems we are experiencing with our Paypal 'postage labels' ~ To counteract this enforced change, we have substantially reduced our 1st Class tariff as a gesture of goodwill.  For INTERNATIONAL customers Airmail is my preferred shipment option.  However, any customer can request services such asSurface mail  or Airsure .  * NOTE *  the Postal options ~ Special Delivery Next Day  and Airsure  provide extra compensation (up to £500) and security ~ This is STRONGLY advisable for many of the RARE and VALUABLE records I will be selling, as I CAN NOT accept LIABILITY for items that may be lost or damaged by ROYAL MAIL, so PLEASE bear this in mind when selecting your postage option.  However, in ALL circumstances I will obtain proof of postage which insures the package up to a value of £34 ~ see BLUE hyperlinks to the ROYAL MAIL website (above) for details.  Select your preferred method of dispatch when paying for your item.  Those who wish to purchase MORE than one record (up to a batch of three ), may receive POSTAGE REDUCTIONS, if requested*  These are shown in the table below ~
