Description: Sparks - Amateur Hour / Lost & Found. Excellent condition 7" vinyl single from 1974. New generic white paper sleeve. If you have any questions, please get in touch. See the recognised and widely accepted Record Collector grading system below. Postage: I post out items every Monday and Friday, so please be aware of this. There maybe occasions (ie: Covid, bank hols, nuclear apocalypse) where this might not happen. So, if you buy an item on Tuesday, I'll post it out on Friday. If you buy something on Sunday, it'll get posted out on Monday. I combine postage costs for multiple buys. Please ask about this. All my records are sent in stiff card mailers, so don't worry about them arriving smashed up. Similarly, I post tapes and CD's with card wrapped around them to protect the cases. Books and magazines, including programmes & comics, are sent out in card to avoid bending. I post out carded figures in a larger box filled with air cushion padded things to avoid cards bending and plastic bubbles getting buggered up. Whilst you're here......why not check out my other items. Plenty more records, CDs, tapes and music paraphernalia with new items added daily. Keep checking back. Thanks for taking the time to look. Record Collectors Grading system: Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable. Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc . Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B)The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler. CDs and CASSETTES As a general rule CDs and Cassettes either play perfectly in which case they are in Mint condition or they dont, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CDs are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves.
