MEGARARE and HARD-TO-FIND original Quatro Records very first Stereo press released, made and distributed in Chile in 1974 by Quatro Ltd. (Quatro Records), licensed from Martin Meyer Productions, England, catalog number QS-25, with hand etched matrix numbers QS-25-A EB-C in Side A and QS-25-B EB-C in Side B, with silver/black Quatro Records labels. Yes, Sirs, ANOTHER FIND from Chile!!!

The first to tell about this RARE SPLIT SINGLE released in Chile only is that it’s almost impossible to find some information, because the singers/bands seem not to be known. These songs were included in some LP’s released in Chile by Quatro Records, licensed from Martin Meyer Productions and with additional information “Recorded in England”, so it’s clear the songs were originally released in England but the names of singers and bands don’t seem to be known even though the songs were hits, in the case of “Born With A Smile On My Face” by Stephanie De Sykes & Rain and in the case of “When I Will See You Again” by The Three Degrees. So, here you have the chance to get and own this MEGARARE single pressed in Chile and maybe ONLY RELEASED IN CHILE with two classic hits of R&B/Soul Disco in versions by Bibi Poe and Fahrenheit 3, a singer and a band I don’t really know anything about!!! WOW!!!

This record doesn’t have a cover. The record is in EX+ or even NM- condition both sides, glossy and clean, with only very light scuffs and hairlines, hard to see at first sight, which of course don’t affect play at all. Labels on both sides are in great EX or EX+ condition, clean and clear, with only very minimal spindle hole wear, with a little tear in Side A and a faint blemish in Side B. The sound is in absolute NM- or NM condition the Side A, loud, clear and clean, virtually no background noise (surface noise is normal in records from Chile), with only very light occasional crackles barely audible at the end of the song, and in strong EX+ or NM- condition the Side B, with crackles a bit more evident at the end of the song, which of course don’t cause any distraction from the great sound this record keeps from the beginning to the end after about 50 years. Overall, this is a great record with a very nice look, almost immaculate labels and superb sound quality, a record maybe never offered here in eBay before, which won’t disappoint anyone!!! And don’t forget this single with these songs was only released here in Chile!!! Yes, Sirs, what a FIND!!! Click on the pictures to enlarge and see the labels and cover in detail. WOW!!!

Bid with confidence and don’t wait until the last second because you could lose the chance to get a real collectable record from Chile (South America) in superb condition like this copy is. You know South American records aren’t easy to get in good conditions, so HAPPY BIDDING and don’t let this record to go away… you could never see a so good copy of this record again… if you are lucky enough to see even another copy again…

Thanks for watching and bidding, good luck and best regards from Chile

 

_________________________________________

 

We don’t use the generic “VG” most of South American sellers use to hide poor quality conditions or “NM” or “Mint” for records which aren’t even clean and sound less than a normal “VG” in professional standards. We use the Record Collector’s Grading System with a little modification: we don’t use MINT grade but for Sealed records and we can use a + or – to show a most professional accurate description.

 

MINT (M): I only use this grade for Sealed records.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record itself is in like new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality (only some very very very light hairlines caused for the record rubbing the sleeve). The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in like perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality, maybe some surface marks which doesn’t affect play. 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.

FEEDBACK

We don’t have anything to hide and we know the buyers expect to receive feedback after to pay for the items they win. Most of sellers say to give feedback when buyers leave feedback first. But we know that’s not fair for buyers. So, we leave feedback immediately after to receive the payment, because we understand that’s the part that buyers must receive feedback for. And we expect to receive positive feedback from buyers who receive the records immediately after they have got the records.
