Vinyl: Johnny Cash - "Ring of Fire" 7" (1963) RARE Malaysian EP / CE 4008 (CBS) REF4
Thanks for looking at this auction - this record has been played recently to check for any problems and to grade the record as accurately as possible .....see grading system at bottom of this page..
Condition of record /sleeve: VG+/VG (housed in new polythene sleeve)
NB: This is so rare I could not find on discogs or 45cat !
Apparently it's a Malaysian promo for the "Best of Johnny Cash" Album but there are no indications on either record or sleeve to confirm this. The only info I could find was on popsike , where a copy sold for $150 dollars !
Very decent copy , not much wear , plays great on both sides .
No writing on sleeve or labels.

Grading System
In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, cassettes and CDs. Anyone buying or selling records through the magazine must use our conditions to state what amount of wear and tear the disc, its sleeve and/or contents have been subject to. The seven standard condition categories, and a description of what each one means, are listed below:
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 advertised 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, discoloration, 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 scratches, 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.
