DESCIPTION:

Turns Into Stone is a compilation album by  released in 1992. It consists of early singles and B-sides that did not feature on their . The compilation reached number 32 on the UK album chart.

The album's release was surrounded by controversy[], as the Roses were in the middle of a legal battle with their then-record label, . An injunction prevented the band from releasing any new material for several years afterward, during which Silvertone re-released many singles, including two separate versions of "Fools Gold", and releasing stand-alone singles from the first album that were not intended to be singles (such as the edited version of "" featuring a drum machine instead of  distinctive drumming).

Despite this, the album is seen in a positive light by Roses fans because it collects the extended versions of many of their best-known non-album songs onto one CD, before a best-of compilation was even available.

The title of the album is taken from the final lines of : "What goes up must come down/Turns into dust or turns into stone".

In August 2009 the album's tracks were remastered by John Leckie and included as "The B-sides" on the 20th anniversary collectors edition re-release of The Stone Roses  and the remastered album went on to be released separately in September 2012.

 

POSTAGE: 1st class recorded Via Royal Mail. Postageif free to mainland UK only (unless stated otherwise)

 

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:WAIT FOR INVOICEBEFORE COMPLETING CHECKOUT. IN ORDER TO CALCULATE POSTAGE COST

 

 

Mint(M)   Absolutely perfect in every way.Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealedunder "Other Considerations"). Should be used sparingly as a grade,If at all.

NearMint (NM or M-)   A nearly perfectrecord. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhapscorrectly)that no record is ever truly perfect.

 

Therecord should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should haveno more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear orother signs of slight handling.

 

AnLP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similardefects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true ofany other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.

 

Basically,an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new recordstore and removed the shrink wrap.

 

NearMint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything thatexceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worthsignificantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.

 

 

VeryGood Plus (VG+)   Generally worth 50percent of the Near Mint value.

 

AVery Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwisehandled by a previous owner who took good care of it.

 

Recordsurfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very lightscratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that donot affect the sound are "OK".

 

Thelabel may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barelynoticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.

 

Picturesleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned upcorners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear alsoand may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it wastaken out of print and sold at a discount.

 

Ingeneral, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. Allbut the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highlyacceptable.

 

 

VeryGood (VG)   Generally worth 25 percent ofNear Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be morepronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especiallyin soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower themusic otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with lightscratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

 

Labelsmay be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached.The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will nothave all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

 

Goldmineprice guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price.This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide when determining how much arecord is worth, as that is the price a dealer will normally pay you for a NearMint record.

 

 

Good(G), Good Plus (G+)   Generally worth10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. Good does not mean Bad! A record in Goodor Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play throughwithout skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches andvisible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turnwhite).

 

Acover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on thespine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm theobject.

 

Itis a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually.Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and theprice is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.

 

 

Poor(P), Fair (F)   Generally worth 0-5percent of the Near Mint price. The record is cracked, badly warped, and won'tplay through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is waterdamaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. TheLP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split,crinkled, and written upon.

 

Exceptfor impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this conditionshould be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
