Description
Detailed seller ratings:
Item as described: I list everything possible about this item, please read everything thoroughly and view ALL of the photographs. Please do not bid if you expect something different from the listing.
Communication: I will answer any sensible query quickly and politely, but please read the listing thoroughly first. I email the winner to thank them for the bid and to advise them of the likely dispatch date (usually within 24 hours of receiving payment). I email again to confirm dispatch and provide tracking number.
Dispatch time: I dispatch within 24 hours of cleared funds, sometimes even the same day if the payment is received early enough and I am able to get to the post office in time. After that, it's down to the Royal Mail and whichever international mail service is involved - all of which is out of my control.
Postage and packing costs: It generally costs me more than I charge for shipping by the time I add in my mailers, stiffeners, shipping labels, printer ink, packing tape, fragile labels, petrol to the post office...so I do not overcharge on my shipping costs in any way.
Feedback: I would appreciate your feedback after the sale and you have received your item and are happy with it. This means I can then leave feedback for you and our transaction is closed.

PLAYGRADED: not simply glanced at with a superficial visual grading, fully played and graded throughout (listened to on headphones - the most revealing playgrade method, with no exterior audio distractions)
VINYL:
9 1 1 9 0 0 1 1 Y // 1 STERLING 1 21 2 4
9 1 1 9 0 0 1 2 Y // 1 STERLING 1 21 2 4
Superb vinyl, barely played, providing top audio throughout with barely any background crackle. Absolutely no pops or clicks. Best playing copy I've heard. Final upgrade. There's only light background noise on the quietest instrumental tracks (e.g. "Dont Start Too Late") but it's in no way intrusive at all. Superb audio and a fabulous listen, great tone on all frequencies. Lovely.
Plays right through with no jumps or sticks, no pops, no clicks.
OUTER SLEEVE:
Excellent plus sleeve. Superb original textured finish, would be near mint but for some fading to the spine and also some very light crushing to the spine so that it is not the perfectly square example you would get on a true mint example. But, still perfectly legible. No visible wear to edges. Looks great. Lovely sleeve. No sticker tears, no graffiti, no creases, no adhesive residue. No seam splits.
LABELS:
Excellent, NO graffiti but some of the black print has somehow rubbed away from the spindle hole, BUT no visible spindle tracks. AND there's still some plastic 'flashing' just inside the hole...not much play at all.
INNER SLEEVE:
Plain white poly lined sleeve.
Thanks for taking the time. Good luck in the auction.
