Grading - All of my records are carefully visually graded under bright light and fully play graded before auction.

The Record is visually graded Mint Minus

The Record Labels are graded Mint Minus

The Cover is graded Excellent

The sound quality is superb

Record

The record has a beautiful as new appearance, lays 100% flat on the turntable and has no warping. Even under bright light I could see no marks or even any hairlines!

I searched both sides carefully but still could not see even one hairline, but I`ve added a minus to the mint grading as I know the record has been played. An amazing looking record! The record is graded Mint Minus

Labels

The pink island labels with the “eye” design appear in beautiful condition. The spindle hole shows no wear and there are only two faint spindle lines per label visible when viewed in bright light. The labels are graded Mint Minus

Cover

The EJ Day cover is graded Excellent. There is no ring-wear to the front or back and there are no tears or marks. There is some very light rubbing to part of the spine; all of the other edges are fine. The spine is compressed towards the back; all of the spine text is clear and perfectly legible. The corners are square with just slight light rounding. Overall the sleeve is well above average so easily gets the excellent grading.

Inner Sleeve

The record comes in a plain white inner sleeve in excellent condition with no tears or seam splits

Sound Quality

The sound quality is totally superb throughout. I have play graded the entire album and there is no hiss, crackle or distortion and it fully lives up to its visual grading.

Altogether a wonderful album!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

All of my listed records are carefully visually inspected under bright light and play graded before auction to avoid any disappointment to buyers, so bid with confidence.

The grading system I use is from Record Collector: - Mint, Excellent, Very Good with +/- to distinguish borderline grades (see below)

Mint. This is in brand new un-played condition.

Excellent. Some signs of being played, but very little lessening of sound quality. There can be minor cover wear and/or creasing.

Very Good. Visual evidence of many plays including noticeable surface marks and light scratches. There should be no major deterioration of sound quality however. The cover can have light/moderate wear but no major defects.

A full no quibble refund for the cost of the record will be offered if you are not satisfied for ANY reason.

I treat all vinyl with the greatest respect whether £5 or £50, so all records are sent out with plastic covers in professional mailers and two protective cardboard stiffeners. I always separate records from their covers and original inner sleeves

for posting to prevent seam splits occurring during shipping.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to take out any insurance cover required. I would advise insurance to be taken out on any item sale greater than £30.00 as protection against loss or damage during shipping. Without this additional insurance the full value of items above £30.00 that are lost or damaged will NOT be able to be recovered.

Following the close of the auction I will send an invoice within twenty four hours. All winning bidders must make contact within three days of the end of the auction or I reserve the right to withdraw the item or select the second chance option and offer the item to another bidder.

Please do not bid if you have significant negative feedback unless checking first please.
