Description

CREAM – “WHEELS OF FIRE” Double LP

Be aware that my descriptions are economic in their wording & limited to the essentials. I hardly use phrasing such as “awesome” coupled with thousands of exclamation marks as a matter of self-respect. Please rely on my feedback for a proper grading & don’t hesitate to email any questions you may have.

GRADING

All records are originals except when noted. Record is graded first, then the cover.
For grading purposes I use the British Record Collector's grading scale (needless to detail on this one as it's known to all collectors) with occasionally (+) or (-) signs to denote the in-between conditions.

Generally speaking:
- a MINT (M) or NEAR MINT (M-) grade will give full satisfaction
- an EXCELLENT (EX) grade is always a shiny vinyl with possibly a faint mark or two, ONLY seen under a strong light and NOT affecting performance; in most cases NM and EX are pretty close)
- a VG+ or even a VG (Very Good) grade is always a shiny vinyl with some light surface marks & will give an enjoyable performance with no skips, pops or unpleasant surface noise.
Same logic applies to the cover's grade.
I do not list records at an inferior grade unless they are extremely rare & sought after.
