Gordon Haskell is a great musician/songwriter ...He has recently, in the last couple of years, enjoyed renewed success in his career with a hit single that opened up a whole new audience for him ! ...However, he will forever be associated in Prog Folk Psych circles with Robert Fripp/League Of Gentlemen & King Crimson ! ...He played with the Fleur de Lys in the mid-sixties, Cupid's Inspiration in the late sixties and was a member of King Crimson in 1970 ! (He played on the 'In The Wake Of Poseidon' & 'Lizard' Albums !)...

..." STATEMENT OF SELLING - MY PROMISE OF QUALITY, MY SERVICE GUARANTEE & COMMENTS ON THE GRADED CONDITION OF MY LISTED RECORDS " :

I have now dealt in and sold vinyl records for over 30 years ! ...During this time I've owned and run 2 'High Street' Record Shops specialising in the sale of quality collector vinyl records ! ...(Note that I now only sell Vinyl Records on eBay !) ...Therefore you have my reassurance that I know how to accurately and 'expertly' grade the condition of these records ; both the sleeves and the respective vinyl condition ! ...Every vinyl is viewed under a bright light bulb to establish the grade ! ...I use the U.K. Record Collector 'Rare Record Grading System' as the basis for grading condition, but I'm generally stricter than this as I'm a perfectionist by nature ! ...I'm an honest, conscientious seller and I generally only list records that grade at between at least EX. to MINT condition ! ...I only list records that I believe there to be no problem with, and only records that I would be personally happy to receive myself ! ...I do not list records that I'm unsure about ; all I want is a straightforward transaction & a happy buyer when the deal is concluded ! ...I do not over-describe vinyl or use obscure words such as 'shiny' ; this is meaningless and could otherwise mean anything ! ...I consider that overly long descriptions are both confusing and not necessary ; a precise description using 'specific' wording which accurately describes the vinyl's good and bad points provides a better understanding of the condition for the prospective bidder... rather than a long and repetitive descriptive 'exercise' ! ...For example, a record I describe as being in EX. condition should be just that ; Excellent and with no problems ! ...also, please rest assured that the vinyl I offer is always clean, dust free and grit free and will always be in the best possible condition that it can be for it's grade ; all you have to do is put it on the 'deck' and play it ! ...The graded condition reflects both a visual and aural grade and the record should play according to it's graded condition ! ...I try to play grade as many of my records as possible, or if I think there's a need to then the record is play graded as a matter of course to confirm the grade ! ...Any fault or flaw will obviously be mentioned in my description...I very rarely get it wrong & my 'positive' feedback hopefully speaks for itself ! ...Should I make a mistake, which is very rarely, then I offer a full money back guarantee upon return ! ...Records are posted in heavy duty 'cruciform' mailing packers & every care is taken ! ...Please therefore have confidence knowing that I only sell vinyl records on eBay and that each record is carefully and accurately graded and is guaranteed as such ! ...HAVE CONFIDENCE : THIS IS MY PROMISE, MY GUARANTEE OF SERVICE & MY ASSURANCE OF ACCURATELY GRADED QUALITY COLLECTOR VINYL RECORDS !!! ...ALL THE BEST !) ...
