TV / OST LPs

I use the Record Collector standard to grade my records – as below:

M is ONLY for reissues / new releases
M- is a pretty much unplayed record for me – any obvious signs that a record has been played and I usually downgrade to an EX+
EX+ is a very strong grade for me – just showing some signs of being played but no noise / cue burn / crackle / styrene burn at all.
VG+ is for records that have obviously seen some wear and have had a good few plays and may even have light intro crackle but play very, very well.
VG is for records with quite a bit of wear and surface markings and some noise / crackle but still a very good player
VG- is my lowest grade and VG- records for me are in bad shape – lots of sound quality deterioration and many, many surface marks – not nice.

All media links are directly underneath each item in red – just hover your mouse over the link and when it turns blue click on it and it will take you directly to the YouTube page or my own soundfile / scan.

Dominic Frontiere ‘Hammersmith Is Out’ (Capitol / USA / 1972 / VG+/Ex+) £30 £15

( Rare Dominic Frontiere score – my first-ever copy…’Snake Dance’ and ‘Topless Rock’ are just fantastic but ‘Get Me Out Of Here’ is also cool..sleeve just a bit frayed/worn, wax waaaaay better – some sticker damage to one of the labels but overall, a peach… )
