WELCOME TO

THE RECORD HOUSE

I HAVE BEEN SELLING QUALITY VINYL SINCE THE EARLY 90s IN ALL FORMATS (45s/LPs & 78s) AND SPECIALISE IN ITEMS FROM THE 1950s TO THE 1970s. MY LISTINGS NORMALLY CONSIST OF RARER/HARDER TO FIND ITEMS AND ARE GENERALLY GRADED AS VG+ OR BETTER. I DO SOMETIMES LIST LOWER GRADE ITEMS BUT USUALLY WILL ONLY DO SO IF THEY ARE EXCEPTIONALLY RARE.

ALL ITEMS THAT I LIST ARE U.K. ORIGINALS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED AND EVERY ONE IS CLEANED AND FULLY PLAY GRADED BY MYSELF. EACH LISTING WILL GIVE A VISUAL GRADING OF THE VINYL AS WELL AS AN AURAL GRADING SO THAT YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I WILL ALSO GIVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF SLEEVES/INNERS WHERE APPROPRIATE. ALL OF MY DISCS ARE GRADED IN DAYLIGHT SO THAT I MAY GIVE A FAIR ASSESMENT OF WHAT A RECORD LOOKS LIKE. RECORDS ARE PLAYED ON A LENCO GOLDRING TRANSCRIPTION DECK WITH SHURE CARTRIDGE TRACKING AT ABOUT 1.75g THROUGH AN ARCAM AMP AND MISSION SPEAKERS. FOR 78 RPM RECORDS I USE A GARRARD SP 25 DECK WITH GOLDRING CARTRIDGE THROUGH A SANSUI AMP AND KEF REFERENCE SPEAKERS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT GRADING RECORDS CAN BE VERY SPECULATIVE AND THAT ONE PERSONS EX+ MAY BE ANOTHER PERSON'S VG. FOR THIS REASON I OFFER A FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ON EVERY ITEM THAT I SELL. IF YOU FEEL THAT THE ITEM YOU RECEIVE DOES NOT MATCH THE DESCRIPTION GIVEN OR COME UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS THEN I WILL GIVE A FULL REFUND WITHOUT QUESTION. ALL I ASK IS THAT THE ITEM IS RETURNED TO ME IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING AND IS SENT BY RECORDED DELIVERY. MY AIM IS 100% CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND I SEE NO NEED FOR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OR DEROGATORY COMMENTS. PLEASE SEE MY PREVIOUS FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE.

GUIDE TO GRADINGS

    MINT: As new condition/unplayed

    NEAR MINT: No obvious marks or imperfections. May have very light paper lines/hairlines visible under strong light. Sound quality will be virtually perfect.

    EXCELLENT + Record will display just the odd very light surface line/mark. No needle lines or scratches. Background/surface noise will be virtually non existent with the possibility of the occasional solitary tick. There will be nothing on the record to cause any audible flaws or distortion.

    EXCELLENT: Record will display one or two surface lines and/or light scuff marks. No needle lines or scratches. There may be a little very light background noise only audible on the run in/out. No obvious audible flaws or distortion and will only have had light use. Records graded as Excellent will still be very acceptable copies.

    VERY GOOD +: Record will display light surface lines/scuffs, light needle lines and hairlines although there will not be any heavy or obvious scratches. Sound quality will still be perfectly acceptable although there will probably be a little light background noise, most obvious on the run in/out and a little minor distortion occasionally. Records graded VG+ will have had moderate use but have not been overplayed.

    VERY GOOD: Record will display several surface lines/marks, light needle lines and light scratches, some of which may be audible. The record has obviously been played many times but will still produce a good sound, albeit with some mild distortion occasionally. There will be no sticks or jumps and the record will play through fine.

I WILL NOT NORMALLY ADVERTISE ANY RECORD THAT FALLS BELOW A VERY GOOD GRADE UNLESS IT IS EXCEPTIONALLY RARE. I ALWAYS DO MY BEST TO GRADE RECORDS AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE NOT 100% HAPPY WITH YOUR PURCHASE PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY SO THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE SORTED. ALL ITEMS CARRY A FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.

POSTAGE WILL BE 2nd CLASS SIGNED FOR AT THE RATE QUOTED ABOVE. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND SPECIAL DELIVERY FOR ITEMS OVER THE VALUE OF £40.00. PLEASE ASK IF YOU REQUIRE THIS. I ALWAYS OBTAIN PROOF OF POSTAGE FOR ALL ITEMS AND WILL DO ALL I CAN TO ASSIST WITH LOST OR DAMAGED ITEMS. PLEASE BE AWARE, HOWEVER, THAT I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITEMS ONCE POSTED. ANY CLAIMS FOR LOSS/DAMAGE MUST BE HANDLED BY THE PURCHASER OF THE ITEM AND I WILL NOT ISSUE REFUNDS FOR ITEMS LOST OR DAMAGED IN THE POST, ALTHOUGH I WILL DO ALL I CAN TO ASSIST YOUR CLAIM. 

I AM HAPPY TO POST OVERSEAS BUT WILL ONLY SEND USING 'INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR' MAIL. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS WHEN BIDDING.
