Our Grading System

The table below is an overview of how our grading system works. The first grade is for the sleeve and second grade is for the media/disc, e.g. VG+/EX means that the item's sleeve is in Very Good Plus condition and the media/disc is in Excellent condition.

If there is only one condition, e.g. /EX, it means that the item is not in a picture sleeve and that the media/disc is in excellent condition. Records that aren't in picture sleeves will either be in a company sleeve or a generic plain sleeve. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

CATEGORIES ArtistCharlie MitchellTitleAfter Hours / Love Don't Come Easy (Rsd2022)Format7 Inch VinylCountryEuropeLabelJanusCatalogue NumberJ227Year2022DescriptionRsd2022ConditionNEWTrack ListOne record which has lately come to prominence is the brilliant "After Hours" by Charlie Mitchell aka Vic Marcel on an absolutely gorgeous slice of mellow Rare-Groove which recalls the Leon Ware vibe perfectly. Produced and arranged by seasoned veterans Tony Silvester and Bert DeCoteaux this incredibly hypnotic song was also written by top writers J.R. Bailey and Ken Williams. "After Hours" has grown in popularity particularly over the last few years with original copies now reaching the £200-£250 valuation. The flip-side is another slice of beautiful mid-tempo soul from the same production stable. Only one copy currently available the last time we checked, such has been the demand over the last two years especially. Quite why this record has been underground for so long is open to debate. Vic Marcel was under contract to RCA at the time hence the Charlie Mitchell pseudonym. Janus were also suffering distribution problems at the time which explains why the original is so rare. We're proud to finally make this available again on the original Janus imprint. Another double-sided beauty. DELIVERY INFORMATION
