Photos supplied are of the actual record you are bidding on.
Please note: Even if an LP has only been played a couple of times, it may not be perfect.
This is especially noticeable on classical records which have quiet passages.
They may utilise variable groove pitch and have a wide dynamic range.
People collect vinyl LPs because they sound warmer and less clinical than CDs;
but some surface noise is inevitable with an LP, which in some cases may be 50 or 60 years old.
This disc is carefully inspected and cleaned and will be securely packed and labelled.
I have graded this record's condition as accurately as possible.

GRADING CRITERIA:
Vinyl:
Mint (M): Perfect : This record would look as it just left the manufacturer, with no flaws whatsoever. No scuffs or scratches.
Near Mint (NM) : This record would appear virtually flawless, only minor scuffs on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over any flaw.
Excellent (EX) : Minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be several scuffs. It should play with little noise over the flaw. Label may show faint spindle marks.
Very Good (VG) : Record would show more wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has good lustre, but flaws noticeable to the naked eye may cause some surface clicks or noise. Spindle marks more noticeable, indicating greater usage.
Good (G) The record would have been played so much that the sound quality had noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
Sleeve Grade
Mint (M) - Factory fresh. No stickers, address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover. Age of the record has not affected its appearance.
Near Mint (N M) - The sleeve looks close to perfect with only minor signs of wear or age. slight lifting of laminate etc.
Excellent (EX) - Artwork still close to perfect. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no print damage. Some slight creases to the corners, but not obtrusive to the eye. Laminate may have flaked in a few places.
Very Good (VG) - The sleeve looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover may show its age. White paper may be yellowed. Possible slight stains, foxing or mildew. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes.
Good (G) The cover and the contents may suffer from creasing, scuffing of edges, spine splits, age discoloration, small tears etc.
