Selling on behalf of a friend.  The record has been wet cleaned with anti-static fluid and placed in a Nagaoka style anti-static inner sleeve.  Sound quality was assessed on a Technics direct-drive record deck fitted with a Grado Prestige Gold 1 cartridge.

 

Items will be posted in strong cardboard record mailers with packing (see example in photo).  The records are taken out of the sleeve to prevent them cutting through the sleeve in transit.  While this all adds to postage costs, I hope you will agree it’s worth it to protect your purchase.

 

Postage

The price given in my listings is for postage within the UK only.  Please note: while the postage charge may seem expensive it doesn’t actually cover my costs.

 

Multiple purchase discounts

The record mailing boxes I use can hold up to 3 single LPs or 1 single + 1 double so if you purchase more than one item, please ask me about sending them together so I can consider offering a discount on the total postage cost.  This is weight sensitive but at the moment postage within the UK usually costs the same whether it’s 1 LP or 3 in the package.

 

Condition descriptions

In my condition descriptions I endeavour to follow the Record Collector grading classification below but if you make a purchase and are dissatisfied with it due to my description, please let me know and I will try to agree an acceptable solution.

 

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.


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.

GOOD:  The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.  The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR:  The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

 

POOR:  The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

 

BAD:  The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
