PASSIONFRUIT Smilin' Ed/Smilin' Ed (part II) (AU) Philips 6037 063 (1975 - 7 inch 45rpm vinyl single in company sleeve, rare original Australia only issue. Laidback cool small group jazz fusion/funk sound featuring keyboards and electric guitar with breezy female vocals coming in late. Labels say "Australian composition" but it ain't - it was written by American session players Russ Kunkel & Craig Doerge and first recorded by them with The Section. Dunno who Passionfruit were but they were definitely Aussie. Anyway, very rare)

I have some multi's of this but only a very limited number, thus the auction listing. Never seen this item listed anywhere else and is genuinely rare. 

Visual grade:  disc  VG+ to EX-  Looks quite clean under regular light but under very strong halogen lamp light there are odd very small light marks from dust etc. in sleeve. Almost all the copies I have of this title are like this. Some of these phonogram singles were stored inside the smaller 50 copies boxes, others inside the large 200/500 boxes and are near mint, but other titles that there only a few of have been stored outside the boxes and have been exposed to dust. 

Grooves are clean.  I like the music on this single. 

Please note: Of the 4 copies I have left of this single this is probably the cleanest. Thus the auction listing.

PLEASE NOTE: If this item is a 1970s Phonogram distribution 45 rpm 7 inch it is likely to be one from a source of unplayed deleted stock purchased from

a label rep. at that time and kept in storage since. I have multi copies of most and the picture above may be a generic one (from the first listing). 

Any differences to label or the generic sleeve will be noted.  All discs have been individually graded.

All 1970s Phonogram distribution 45 rpm 7 inchers come in reasonably clean original (correct) generic distro sleeves (most are very clean) and have mint labels (unless otherwise noted).

 

IMPORTANT: All records graded carefully under strong light. I have a long standing good reputation for grading and I strongly recommend taking a glance at my grading info linked below.

Visual grades for vinyl discs under strong light:

M      Mint condition. This means unplayed, with no marks on playing surface and label is as new. Older  records are extremely rare in this condition. M-     Either unplayed, with minimum of scuffs caused by paper sleeve (an odd very faint scuff seen under strong light) , or played once or twice only and still as new. EX+   Played a few times and a few very light scuffs visible under strong light. M- and EX+ often translated to a grade of Near Mint EX    Record played carefully, very clean surface, minimum scuffing. A very clean record. Labels are clean. EX-    A grade slightly down from EX because of obvious light scuffs and perhaps an odd few light scratches. VG+  Over-all reasonable condition but more significant scuffing or light scratches are visible. VG    Very good condition. A record with scuffing or signs of groove wear but no bad scratches. VG-   A grade slightly below VG G       Good. A well played record with plenty of scuffs and groove wear. F        Fair. Record playable but heavily scuffed with a lot of surface noise. P        Poor.  Record has significant scratches and may skip or jump when played. Please note:
FEEDBACK IS LEFT VIA AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM THAT IMMEDIATELY LEAVES FEEDBACK FOR BUYERS AFTER FEEDBACK HAS BEEN RECEIVED.  I APPRECIATE FEEDBACK BEING LEFT FROM BUYERS IF POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT LETS ME KNOW THE ITEM HAS ARRIVED AND ALL IS OK.  Sorry, I do not offer express post - this is very expensive within/from Australia and incures additional Ebay fee costs which are now also applied to postage. International postage costs are standard world-wide.
Some of the pics and info texts are same/similar to that on 45cat however my dad is the original source for this text/pics drawn from disc from this same stock.
