Description

I believe this to be a very rare record The Tams - Hey Girl Don't Bother Me Demonstration Record on HMV POP1331.

I am offering this record on auction rather than buy it now because of its condition and because I don't know how to price it. 

According to the grading system used below it is better than FAIR because it does not stick or jump but I have graded it below FAIR at POOR to be sure not to over specify the record.

Please look at the description below and ask any questions or request more photographs

Please look at the photographs and ask any questions, the photographs form part of the description.

Grading: I have used the British Record Collectors system as a guide. All records are graded by eye under a bright light. In some cases, where there is doubt, I will play them and say that they have been played to test. As a quick guide:


·         Mint (M) Record and cover etc. like new – I will probably never use this.


·         Excellent (EX) Record shows some signs of use – cover etc. have slight wear and/or creasing.


·         Very Good (VG) Record has obviously had a lot of use but no major deterioration in sound quality – cover etc. has normal wear and tear.


·         Good (G) Record has been heavily used and sound quality has deteriorated – cover etc. will be heavily scuffed, torn and/or discoloured.


·         Fair (F) Record is just about playable but will stick and/or jump – cover etc. will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Cleaning: As I do not have a professional cleaning / anti-static system I have not attempted to clean any of the records, preferring to leave that to purchasers to clean and remove static to their standards.

Photographs: Photographing the vinyl is proving difficult – there will be reflections of everything around. If in doubt please contact me or ask for further photographs to be uploaded.

Buyer Satisfaction: I have tried to be as honest as possible but record grading can be very subjective. However, if you are not satisfied I will give a full no quibble refund including all postage costs. Please contact me so that everything can be sorted to your satisfaction.

 

Posting: I will usually use the Post Office second class for items below 2Kg and a courier or parcel service for heavier items. I will post the next working day (including Saturday morning) – any delay after that is down to the carrier. They quote between 3 and 5 working days delivery time.

Combined Postage: I will combine postage whenever it is cheaper to do so. Please contact me for a quote before purchase or wait for an invoice at checkout.

Packing: I will pack the records between two sturdy pieces of cardboard taped together. This may not look as pretty as a purpose made box but it seems to work well in reducing the chance of the record moving in the packaging or the record moving in the sleeve.

I have just been informed that this is an original 1964 copy not a 1970s copy as originally listed but bidders can research. Hope this helps.
