ARTISTE, RECORD TITLE AND LABEL ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK "FARZ" Music Direction :Laxmikant Pyarelal Angel 3ACX 5164 (pressed in India) A 1967 Bollywood rarity which fetched US$305 on the one occasion it surfaced in April 2011. This is an original Indian Angel LP pressed by Dum Dum and housed in a jacket with the flipbacks at the reverse. It played better than it looked(see results of my grading below-the whitish patches on the picture were caused by reflection). UK buyers please also note that I am based in Singapore but the system assumes that as a seller on Ebay,UK should indicate a UK postage cost of 4GBP which may not even cover surface postage let alone registration (ie tracking). Please read my shipping section below. Bidders who are viewing this on Ebay, US & Canada please note that I originally listed this under Ebay, UK where I ticked the item condition as 'used'. I did exercise the option of listing it under Ebay, US & Canada(for a fee of course!). Somehow, these listings are appearing under Ebay US & Canada as 'like new' and I can't seem to change it under that site . It should read as 'used'. GRADING RESULTS: The jacket is graded as VG+ at best. There is a seam split on the spine and a surface scuff at the top left hand corner at the back. There are the words "return early" written at the front. Both sides of the vinyl have several light lines which did not seem to have gotten into the grooves and which did not affect play. There were no deep scratches though.It maintains its lustre . Tracking at 1.7g with a Lyra Helikon SL cartridge mounted on a Linn LP12/Naim ARO tonearm, there was some extraneous surface noise as well as 2 light thumps at the middle of track 1 of side 1. It was not intrusive and generally beneath the music . There were no skips I would grade the playing as VG++ in view of this. How I Clean and Grade my Records Cleaning: Cleaning is usually done on a Loricraft PRC 4 cleaning machine using the US made Walker Audio 3 stage cleaning solution . Playback Equipment: Playback is through a Linn LP12 turntable/Armeggedon/Naim Aro tonearm/Lyra Helikon SL cartridge and through a brace of active Naim 250s/135s into Naim DBL speakers. For 45s I use a second Linn/Lingo/Aro/Linn Troika though I change them occasionally as the arm tubes can be easily transferred from one deck to another. I use both Goldmine and Rare Record Price Guide grading system as a guide and came up with the following: · Mint I only use this for sealed items. The record is virtually unplayed and is in a brand new condition. Cover is pristine. Up till now, I have never used this grading and, chances are, never will, due to my conservative nature in matters of record grading. · Near Mint Very little or negligible flaws. Faint lines or very faint creasing on laminated covers visible under a strong light is acceptable but nothing serious. Records which show some signs of having been played such as very faint spindle marks are allowed but there should be no lessening in sound quality. . · Excellent Item obviously played, though not often,and enjoyed with some slight noise. The record should be nice and shiny but may have a few light marks which should not intrude on play. Slight wear on cover is acceptable. · Very Good Many more imperfections which are noticeable but not obtrusive. The record has been played several times but there should be no major deterioration in sound quality despite some noticeable surface marks and light scratches. Normal wear and tear or writings on the cover is acceptable but there should not be any major tears. I do not offer any records below Very Good unless its extremely rare. Shipping I use brand new custom made inner and outer sleeves . Shipping from Singapore is always by Airmail and by registered post as it allows one to track items in case of delays. I usually post within 2 working days from date of payment. From experience, I know that it generally takes abo... read more
