Description
THE BYSTANDERS - 98.6 - VG+ 7" 45rpm single UK Piccadilly *** RARE ***
These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system (as detailed below) except I won't use Mint. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding.
Record / condition:From the Man forerunners, the Bystanders, their UK pressing, 45rpm 7" vinyl single released in 1967 on the Piccadilly label, 7N 35363
Tracks: 98.6, Stubborn kind of fellow
Original company sleeve is in decent shape - a short nick near the centre cut-out and a bit of flimsiness along opening edge, but it's clean and all in place. Labels have just a few spindle marks. Vinyl has the customary light surface marks, nothing nasty, and plays really well throughout - I play tested all of it.
Overall:
I'd guess it might grade at (sleeve / vinyl) VG+ / VG+
Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing, usually all of it. If you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.
The time has come to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix coming up over the next few months if you keep an eye on my other items now and in the future.
Thank you to all who have already given new homes to my beloved vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to comeGRADING: UK Record Collector Grading system:
(I try to grade along the same lines as professional sellers might. However, I don’t use Mint or NM for any LP’s of significant vintage as most will as a minimum have paper scuffs and dust / static build up however good they look .. so EX+ is as good as I will go. I don't have any of the lower 3 grades which are there for reference only. Most records in my own collection are VG+ and EX, the sleeves will tend to be VG and VG+)
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as sealed or un-played should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
