More wounded records for sale

If you remember, I did a list of “wounded” records back end of last year,

some hissed, some had cracks or scratches, anyway that was an amazingly

successful list for some reason, so now that I have accumulated a fair number of

records which fit the above description, I decided it was time to try again.

Look out for a couple of really big records on this list, all graded extremely

fairly and I hope, accurately. All are USA originals.

PATTI AUSTIN –SOMEONE’S GONNA CRY -CORAL DEMO

Generally VG++ but has a scratch from halfway in til the end which can be heard

softly in the background - the scratch also runs onto the label leaving as thin

line.

Usual price 125 todays price 35 SOLD

EDDIE ALSTON -GONNA GET ME A WATCHDOG -BARRY

To all intents and purposes this looks like an EX copy but it is cracked around

where the run off meets the label. You can-t see it or feel it unless you

slightly bend the record.

Usual price 50 todays price25

DON COVAY -SOMEBODY-S GOT TO LOVE -ATLANTIC

Vinyl is VG++ but has a water damaged label

Usual price 15 todays price5

THE CORVELLS -HE-S SO FINE -LU PINE DEMO

Vinyl strong VG++ but has lots of label wear especially at top and to the left

Usual price 30 todays price10

GENE CHANDLER -THERE WAS A TIME -BRUNSWICK

Ring wear on label and vinyl looks a bit scruffy but plays really well

Usual price 20 todays price10 SOLD

THE CARTER BROTHERS –SHE’S SO FINE -JEWEL

Looks like sh*t, plays fine with a bit of crackle in the background. Label has

ringwear.

Usual price 30 todays price8

CANDY & THE KISSES -THE 81 -CAMEO

Scruffy looking vinyl, sticker on the label over artists name

Usual price 15 todays price5

BETTY EVERETT –I’VE GOT A CLAIM ON YOU -ONEDERFUL

Looks VG+ and has a few marks but plays EX

Usual price 45 todays price25

THE ETHICS –THERE’LL STILL BE A SWEET TOMORROW -VENT DEMO

Not much wrong with this -nice glossy copy with a couple of marks and one or

two tiny background pops

Usual price 40 todays price25

THE EMPIRES -COME HOME GIRL -CHAVIS

Looks VG+, plays with a little background hiss which can be eradicated by

turning the treble down. Nice doo-wop type sound

Usual price 40 todays price20

FANTASTIC FOUR –CAN’T STOP LOOKING FOR MY BABY -RIC TIC

This looks like it was run over by a bus. It plays with clicks and pops all the

way through but it doesn’t jump or stick at all.

Usual price 125 todays price10 SOLD

THE 5TH DIMENSION -CALIFORNIA SOUL -SOUL CITY

Nothing really wrong with this, has a bump on the run in which makes a noise on

one rotation

Usual price 15 todays price5

LOWELL FULSOM -TRAMP -KENT

Marker pen writing on the label, VG crackles mainly at the start

Usual price 20 todays price8

ELLIE GREENWICH -BABY -RED BIRD DEMO

Oh the tragedy! Looks near mint but when you play it, it-s got styrene

distortion all the way through. Not really hiss, just distortion.

Usual price 150 todays price40 SOLD

KELLY GARRETT –LOVE’S THE ONLY ANSWER -SMASH

This one is even more upsetting than Ellie...looks solid mint, until you play

it, and it hisses all the way through. I can only describe it as a non-too

aggressive hiss as by the time she gets going you don’t really notice because

the music is so loud but yes, it has styrene hiss.

Usual price 150 plus todays price 50

GLORIA GAYNOR –SHE’LL BE SORRY -JOCIDA

This one-s cracked right across and has been repaired on the B side. Plays

with light tick throughout

Usual price 25 todays price5

DOLORES GIBSON -I GOT A FEELING -ELLOMA

Very light background noise otherwise a pretty solid performer. Mild ringwear.

Usual price 75 todays price35

RONNIE GAYLORD & BURT HOLIDAY -LOVE WHERE HAVE YOU GONE -PALMER

Hardly anything wrong with thgis one..couple of marks, bit of label wear,

otherwise..fine!

Usual price 25 todays price15

ART GRAYSON -BAD DREAMS -FOUR CORNERS

The label is very worn on the reaised part and the vinyl only looks VG but it

plays great, just some crackle at the start -great R&B tune too

Usual price 50 todays price20

MARGIE HENDRIX -ONE ROOM PARADISE -MERCURY

Has a few superficial scratches, none of them feelable, plays superbly with the

occasional pop/click, and the label has some wear on the raised part, otherwise

it’s a good, playable copy of an indemand sound

Usual price 150 todays price60

**** WILLIE HUTCH -LOVE RUNS OUT -DUNHILL DEMO ****

This one should really be on my main sales list but it has damage to the B side

(The Duck). The A side has some marks which look a little nasty but cause

no problems when playing. There-s a few background clicks in the middle but

again, nothing to get upset about. A nice record to impress with behind the

decks, but remember, there’s a f*cked up Duck on the other side! (Actually

that plays okay after the first 45 seconds). Label has a bit of wear, again on

the raised part.

Usual price 600 plus todays price375

FREDDIE HOUSTON -CHILLS AND FEVER -OLD TOWN DEMO

Lots of scratches and marks over this one, plays through with clicks, doesn’t

stick or jump.

Usual price 50 todays price20

FRED HUGHES -BABY BOY -BRUNSWICK

Lots of ring wear on the label, vinyl VG to VG+

Usual price 15 todays price5

HIGH VOLTAGE -COUNTRY ROAD -COLUMBIA DEMO

Nice copy but has a little half inch crack on the edge, plays with barely a

noise at all

Usual price 40 todays price15

OK WELL THAT’S IT FOR NOW, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS ONLY THE LETTERS A TO H SO THERE

ARE TWO MORE LISTS OF WOUNDED RECORDS TO COME, IT MAY BE THIS WEEK BUT MORE

LIKELY WILL BE NEXT.

I REALLY DON’T WANT ANY RETURNS ON THESE SO PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU’VE

READ THE DESCRIPTIONS THOROUGHLY, YOU KNOW ME, I DO GRADE VERY HONESTLY AND I

WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL YOU OVERGRADED RECORDS.

THANKS FOR READING, SEE YOU LATER
