-Artist / Group: Bill Of Rights

-Mini bio: The Bill Of Rights formed in 1984 in Vancouver B.C., Canada. This original line-up comprised of Mike Raphone (bass, vocals), Dave Chrispie (drums) and Dave DeMenthe (lead guitar,lead vocals)

-Mike Dennis was their manager and on their second EP would play bass and sing backing vocals along with new members Rick Knott (guitar, vocals; formerly of Rail), Mike Dennis (bass, backing vocals; formerly of Forbidden Beat) and Stuart Temple (drums, percussion; formerly of Forbidden Beat). We assume that the original members mentioned above were let go by Mike Dennis when they recorded their second Bill Of Rights EP.

-The Bill Of Rights released just two 7" EP's single during their time together in the mid 1980's, the first was titled No Rights, No Chance a 3 song Ep from 1984 and the 1985 6 song EP titled Meltdown '85.

-We purchased over 4,000 new old stock 45 RPM singles from Zenith Radio & TV in Vancouver B.C. when they went out of business in 1983 and then another 20,000 new old stock 45 RPM singles from Frank's Records also in Vancouver B.C. when they went out of business in 1989. The chances of any 45 rpm single which has managed to escape ever having felt a needle in it's grooves is remote, but does happen. This is one such record. We offer for your consideration: Meltdown '85 recorded by: Bill Of Rights which is a new, unplayed old store stock 7", and will be your final upgrade.

Record grading:

(M) Mint: A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturers without any handling; that is, it should appear perfect! No light scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains on labels or writing, tears or splits; nothing. Perfect. And age has nothing to do with it; the same standards for Mint apply to a rare rockabilly single from 1955 as they do to a Top 40 record from 1988! There are no sliding values for Mint. A Mint record cover should appear to have never had a record in it; no ring-wear, dog-eared corners, writing, seam-splits; nothing! Perfect! Even a new, unplayed old stock record can have factory flaws. Mint should be used sparingly and will usually attract a premium value to serious collectors. Mint means perfect and nothing else!

(SS) Still sealed: Still sealed in the factory shrink wrap.

(M-) Mint minus: A nearly perfect record. The record will show no obvious signs of wear, very light surface scuffs from normal handling are permitted but no light scratches. Original finish intact. Picture sleeves should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

(VG+) Very good plus: The record will show some signs that it was played or otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches. Picture sleeves may have some slight ring wear, lightly turned up corners, or a small seam split.

(VG) Very good: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record or sleeve will be more pronounced in a VG record or picture sleeve. Groove wear may be noticeable, the record may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound, but the foreign noises will be less prominent than the music. Picture sleeves may have quite prominent ring wear. Creases, folds, seam splits and tears will be more obvious and may appear on all three sides, and there may be writing as well.

(VG-) Very good minus: Foreign noises may be about as prominent as the music. The record still plays through without skipping. The picture sleeve will have more significant seam splits, perhaps to the point where they were taped closed, and highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing. Can serve as a filler until a better one comes along.

(G) Good: We seldom offer a good record for sale unless it is particularily rare for the following reasons: Foreign noises are louder than the recorded music and listening can be distracted by the noise. May or may not play through without skipping, but should be so noted. Picture sleeves are so badly seam split that they may not be able to contain the record within.Tears, folds, writing and ring wear may be overwheming.
