WILL ADD 2 EXTRA RARE BOLLYWOOD PRESSING VINYLS AS A FREE GIFT.
VERY IDEAL FOR RE-SELLING INDIVIDUALLY OR EVEN COLLECT.

ON AUCTION OFFER IS A JOBLOT OF 7 RARE 1960s/70s PSYCHEDELIC EGYPTIAN VINYL LPS BY SONO CAIRO LABEL (MANUFACTURED IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES).

LOW START BID AT £26.49

VINYLS PLAY TO AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL WITH MILD OR MODERATE SURFACE NOISE - SOME DISCS PLAY WITH LIGHT CRACKLES/HISS AND A FEW VERY LIGHT TICKS IN PLACES. VISUALLY, MOST DISCS HAVE MANY HAIRLINES AND LIGHT SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS. TWO OF THE LPS HAVE A PROMINENT SCRATCH (NOT WIDE, BUT FEELABLE), ONE CIRCULAR ALONG GROOVE, ONE ACROSS AND COUPLE OF TINY DIMPLES THAT CAUSES A FEW CLICKS AND SHORT SKIPS DURING PLAYBACK. VERY LIGHT WARP ON THE TWO AS WOULD EXPECT WITH AGE BUT DOES NOT IMPACT PLAY.  NO JUMPS ENCOUNTERED. SOME OF THESE VINYLS ARE SCARCE AND SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS.

OBVIOUSLY, IF THESE WERE IN MINT CONDITION, THEY DO SELL FOR QUITE HIGH. EVEN SEEN A COUPLE OF THESE COPIES SELLING NEAR THE THREE FIGURE MARK. BUT IN FAIR (F) TO GOOD (G) CONDITION IN VINYL TERMS, THERE VALUE IS RESTRICTED. REALISTICALLY, THE MARKET VALUE WOULD PROBABLY FALL IN BETWEEN THE GOOD (G) AND FAIR (F) PRICE GUIDE AT 15-30% OF THE ACTUAL VALUE. ALTHOUGH SOME MAY BE A LITTLE LOWER OR HIGHER DEPENDING ON THEIR COVER CONDITIONS. AT WORST, A COUPLE OF THE DISCS ARE POOR+/FAIR- AND AT BEST, A COUPLE ARE G+ VISUALLY AND/OR PERFORMANCE WISE. THE REST ARE AROUND 'G', SO OVERALL GRADED AS 'FAIR+ OR G'.  MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY ARE ALL ACCEPTABLE TO PLAY.  NONE ARE BAD OR POOR TO THE EXTENT THAT ARE NOT PLAYABLE. SHAME THAT SOME ARE LET DOWN BY THE DAMAGE TO COVER EDGE.

SOME COVERS ARE QUITE REASONABLE AND SOME ARE POOR WITH WATER DAMAGE PEELS AT FRONT AND BACK BOTTOM EDGE AND SOME STICKERS. NUMBER MARKING AND SEAM PLIT ON EDGES, BUT NO SCRIBBLES. SO OVERALL GRADED AS FAIR. NOTICED THERE IS A DUPLICATE COVER (SCENARY COVER WITH BAY), BUT IT MAYBE A STANDARD LABEL COVER FOR DIFFERENT DISCS, AS SEEN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LABELED DISCS ONLINE SELLING WITH THIS SAME COVER.

WILL GIVE AWAY TWO BOLLYWOOD VINYLS LPs FROM MY COLLECTION AS A FREE GIFT (SEE LAST PHOTO). THESE DISCS ARE IN FAIR TO G CONDITION AND ARE RARE PRESSING RELEASES (1ST ANGEL PRESSING RED LABEL, AND SOUTH AFRICAN POLYDOR PRESSING). DISCS HAVE HAIRLINES AND LIGHT SCRATCHES/SCUFFS BUT PLAY TESTED WITH NO MAJOR ISSUES) 

ACTUALLY SPENT A FAIR AMOUNT ON THESE BUT LETTING GO AT WHATEVER PRICE THE AUCTION ENDS.
