VINYL IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION

Under natural light - vinyl looks near mint, but some light light wispy / hair-lines are visible when the vinyl is checked under a bright light

 - nothing serious - no deep scratches  - in top condition. The vinyl has been played quite a number of times - hence the number of spider-lines, but has been lovingly cared for.

Record labels are clean and the print is clearly visible. 

No writing on the record label

No sticky residue or discoloration.

Except for spidertrails - no significant spindle wear.

SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION

The laminated sleeve has general light storage wear from rubbing & handling etc  i.e the sleeve has some small light creases/light blisters & slight wear on/near the edges - including some light brown staining near the end of laminated finish on inside of the gatefold.

text on the spine is clearly legible

No record ring wear

No seam splits or tears.

No hand-writing on the cover

IMPORTANT NOTE

The above table is meant as a general guide for combined discount shipping, as some LPs (with heavy duty/gatefold sleeves + extras) weigh considerable more than others, which may mean that the total weight of the package will be more than the expected calculation and therefore will require an adjustment to the total P&P cost

GRADINGS ARE BASED ON RECORD COLLECTOR

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: 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.

I DO NOT SELL ANY VINYL GRADED LESS THAN VG, UNLESS IT IS ANYTHING THAT IS VERY RARE OR SPECIAL.
