Description
AC/DC ?– Powerage
This vinyl record plays Near Mint, but it has some minor issues that must be mentioned clearly.The record looks like it has been stored upright, but on a slight lean for some time, as the vinyl record is slightly bent.
There are no tracking or sound issues, and the bend is so slight that when you place it on the turntable on side 1, the weight of the record flattens the record to the platter, so side one plays and looks normal on the turntable, but when the record is turned over to side 2, the slight bend becomes more obvious, but only when the record is rotating... there are no problems associated with the bend, there is a slight and gradual rise and fall of the tone arm when side 2 of the record is playing. I have tested it at 1.2 gram tracking force, and there are no issues at all, the bend is a visual fault when the record rotates, but is of no consequence to the audio or tracking.
The vinyl surfaces do have some dull and non consequential markings from the poly inner sleeve, there is no actual damage to the surface, but some dullness is visible, though minimal.
I will smack this record down 2 grades for these 2 minor visual faults, but you will receive a virtually unplayed record, and I know I am the only one to ever play it, as the spindle hole was so tight when I first played this, it was quite obvious it had never been played, and even though I did have to push the spindle through the hole, the spindle hole is still very tight, and took some gentle persuasion to get the spindle to let it go when removing the record from the turntable.
in summary
The deadwax is quiet, and the audio is NM, there is a slight bend when playing side 2, and some small areas of slight dullness from a reaction to the poly inner sleeve. There is no deformities visible on the surface of the record, the groves are not warped or twisted, the bend is very slight.

A few words about condition.
Grade &
score out of 100
GRADING
Mint is a Rigid Band - The next Four Grades are all Narrow Bands, that slightly widen as the condition gradually deteriorates - Good is still Good, but there is a rapid widening of the Grade Bands, as the condition deteriorates over the last Four grades.

GOOD

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, but the record will still play through, and it will not be a completely unpleasant listening experience, even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR
25 to 40
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
0 - 24
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
The Sleeve is non existent (0) or what is left, is only just recognisable.
A few words about postage.
Within Australia, the best value for multiple purchases is a 5KG satchel, where as many as 15 to 20 LPs can be posted for $22.00 registered post. (well packed in a box, inside the satchel)
My Policies on postage are simple.
The user pays.
I package well.
Any item that you purchase without choosing the option of "Signed for" or "Registered" Post, is at your risk.
I do accept that "signed for" can be expensive, especially internationally, but whether you take the option of this insurance, is entirely up to you.
I do not wish to withdraw the option of standard postage for the cheaper records, but it must be at your risk.
