Record Details
This is my own personal collection which come from a smoke free home.
Each record and its cover are graded in line with the record collector grading system as noted below.
Each record has been play tested prior to listing. The photographs included are actual photographs of the record and cover.
Please look closely at them and if you have any queries please email me and I will try and respond as quickly as I can.
This record was released in March 1965 and was recorded in Belfast at the same studio where some of van Morrisons early recordings were made. I understand the recording was by Pete Lloyd at his Cromac Square studio. The record was made to coincide with Queens University Student RAG week, hence the QU 1A catalogue number in the run out grooves. The record labels on both sides were hand stuck and this has led to bubbling on them but they are well stuck!
Visually the vinyl is in Excellent condition with a couple of very faint handling marks - you have to look closely to see these. I
Soundwise the record is in Mint condition. The labels are nice and clean. The record has been played on my Rega P6 with a Goldring 2400 cartridge to ensure an accurate grading is given. I have not guessed at the grading based on a visual inspection. There are no defects in the sound quality. The audio is strong and clear throughout both sides of the record.
The grading outline i am using is given below for reference. As someone who collects records I have attempted to be as honest as possible in deciding on the grading of the cover and the actual vinyl.
Record Grading
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.
Excellent:
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of 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 majordeterioration 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.
