Visual Grading

Cover Looks:

Vinyl Looks:

VG++ (Non-laminated very thin paper sleeve.  little very light storage ringwear to back.  tiny 0.3cm nick to front bottom right at sleeve opening)

VG (As you may be aware from the listings of Bollywood/Lollywood singles that I have been putting on they are mostly in superb condition. 

There were a few that were stored for the last 40+ years within a heavy PVC sleeve for protection, a good idea at the time and the sign of someone who cared for their records.

  Unfortunately we now know that those heavy PVC sleeves over the years have a tendency to release chemicals that can cause a dull ‘clouding’/smudge affect on the vinyl.  The good news is that the process does not usually affect play at all, just makes the vinyl look a little less attractive!

  So, this copy has the mentioned heavy dull clouding/smudges but both sides play well and clear with the occasional very light tick.  Please hear sound files of actual record below)

There should be active links to Drop Box directly below this where you can listen to full sound files of actual record.   I am aware the links are not visible for all users.  If for any reason the sound files are missing or do not work, please let me know and I can try to email you the MP3s directly.  What you hear is what you get though please bear in mind any distortion is likely to be from the digital transfer process and not the record itself!  (if there are any jumps in the record it will be noted in the condition description).

Audio and Pictures

I record all sound files direct from the record offered in this auction on an Audio Technica AT-LP60 USB turntable at a 128 bit rate with no sound manipulation. I have not always got the time to listen right through each track, if there are any jumps, skips, pops and crackles you will hear them and can bid accordingly. For this reason I do not accept returns on the basis of record condition. Please listen to them before bidding!

All photographs shown are from the record offered in this auction.

Postage

I do not allow records to be personally collected. All must be sent via postal or courier service.

I will post to most countries in the World. If your country is blocked please get in touch and I will see what I can do.

All records are sent in manufactured record mailers with cardboard stiffeners. The vinyl and cover are separated to avoid seam splits in transit.

I calculate postage using the Royal mail postage calculator. I charge an extra 50p for packing materials as i buy specialist record mailers and stiffeners. Sometimes records cost less to mail than i expect. In these cases i try to refund the difference.

Other Information

After a misunderstanding recently I urge non-English speakers to read carefully all the information and if needed use an on-line translator.

Français : Après un malentendu récemment J'exhorte les non-anglophones à lire attentivement toutes les informations et, si nécessaire utiliser un traducteur en ligne.

Deutch: Nach einem Missverständnis vor kurzem habe ich fordere nicht-englische Muttersprachler sorgfältig lesen Sie alle Informationen und bei Bedarf verwenden Sie ein on-line-Übersetzer.

Espanaol: Después de un malentendido recientemente insto a que no hablan inglés a leer cuidadosamente toda la información y si es necesario utilizar un traductor on-line.

Grading Conditions

I grade the records condition visually only, unless I state what the record actually plays like and provide an audio MP3 sample.  This is because I do not always have time to play everything, so bear this in mind. 

I am strict with my grading so you can feel confident in my conclusions. My feedback will reflect this.  Anyone unhappy solely with my visual grading can return item for refund. However if I have provided pictures and sound files then I do not accept returns on basis of condition. 

As a general guide my grading conditions are based on Record Collector Magazine thus, though I virtually never use 'Mint', my 'Ex' is most dealers NM!:

Condition

Details

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 (Ex)

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 (VG)

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/WORN

The record has obviously been over played, and will probably display deterioration in sound quality, it will probably have lots of fine lines and the odd scratch. Wear and tear on the cover or extra items.
