With Blue Note advert inner which has some wear and tear and tape stains on seams. Ask for any other info.

NB I also sell on Discogs under the name cellery, for my feedback there (100%) look up my profile. Or look up celleryvinyl on Instagram for my personal collection showcase to know you're dealing with a serious seller and collector.

Shipping costs for 1-3 records shipped via PostNL (Dutch national mail) are stated below. Costs for larger orders might be higher depending on weight and country of destination. If you want to be sure before ordering, contact me for a quote.

Track and trace is included by default. All shipments are signed for and insured. Insurance value can be selected at check-out: up to ? 50 or up to ? 500. Exception to this are shipments within the Netherlands, for which the only options are uninsured or insured up to ? 500. Non-insured international shipping available upon request for orders under $ 60, though note that for destinations within Europe the difference in cost between ? 50 insurance and no insurance is only about $ 2,50, depending on weight. For insurance above ? 500 contact me for a quote after ordering, or before if you want to be sure, as at that value other shipment methods such as UPS or DHL might be a better choice. Note that in case of shipping mishaps I can only refund as much as the selected maximum amount of insurance, and that in case of shipments that have to pass customs the insured amount is never higher than the declared value.

Netherlands: $ 9,50 (uninsured), $ 12 (insured up to ? 500)

I ship in sturdy cardboard mailers with basic padding (cardboard stiffeners and/or thin bubble wrap). Needless to say I remove records from covers to prevent seam splits. With high value orders I'll generally employ extra protective measures such as extra padding or double boxing at my own discretion. If you have special packaging requests, do let me know.

My grading scale is NM / VG++ / VG+ / VG / G+ / G / F / P:

NM: A near new album. Record will be just about spotless; close inspection might reveal one or two extremely faint scuffs or hairlines. Record will play near quiet, perhaps some very faint surface noise between songs, likely to have been there from new. Cover will be nearly like new; please refer to photos.

VG++: A very well preserved album. Record will have some minimal superficial scuffs and/or hairlines, likely from sleeve removal and/or careful play. Record will mostly play quiet, perhaps some faint surface noise during quiet passages and between songs. Cover will have minimal overall wear and/or a mild specific defect; please refer to photos.

VG+: A decently preserved album. Record will have superficial scuffs and/or hairlines. Will play with some fairly light surface noise at times, but music will stay well on top and mostly drown it out. Cover will have some overall wear and/or one or two specific defects; please refer to photos.

VG: A fairly worn album. Record will have numerous scuffs and/or hairlines. Will play with surface noise, but music will stay on top. Cover will have more pronounced overall wear and/or one or two significant specific defects but will still present well; please refer to photos.

G+, G: A very worn album; please refer to description and photos.

F / P: A filler copy; please refer to description and photos.

High-end records are ultrasonically cleaned followed by an extra rinse on a vacuum RCM, and then (selectively) play-graded using a Thorens TD 160 turntable fitted with an Audio-Technica AT95E cartridge with Shibata stylus tracking at 2g, run through a Denon PMA 500V amp to Dali Concept 6 speakers. Understand that your listening experience might differ due to equipment differences. Mono records are play-graded with amp set to mono. Playing them in stereo might reveal more audio defects due to the often asymetrical nature of surface wear. All records  before shipping!

If you're unhappy with your purchase for any reason you can return it no questions asked within 7 days of receipt and I'll refund the purchase price, excluding shipping unless significantly not as described. Return shipping costs can be claimed with PayPal if you paid via that route. No partial refunds though, sorry.
