VISUAL:

All grades are 100 % guaranteed – no one has EVER asked to return a record to me.

Buying more than 200 records on the internet, I have agreed with the grading only around 10 times! I think this is because most sellers use inadequate lightning. As a seller once said: Everything looks near mint in the dark. There are only two sources of light I have ever tried that are any good for grading records:

1)      Direct, bright sunlight from an unclouded sky. It's the most powerful light source in this world. Why not use it? "Discreet sunlight" is absolutely no good. I've looked at records outside on a cloudy day that looked nothing short of immaculate, and then revealed loads of scratches under just a poor light bulb.

2)      Halogen spot lights G10, at least 50 watt. These should only be used in the evening to avoid diffusing from other light sources.

These two light sources will reveal EVERY scuff and scratch no matter how small or insignificant it may be. Regular room lightning or neon lights (which seem to be the standard at record fairs) reveal practically nothing.

On Record Collector's grading scale (Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, Bad) I have graded this record as VG, as I see many scuffs on each side. There are no deep scratches or anything like that. There are a few, light fingerprints on the record. A fairly nice copy.

To some people VG means completely trashed. I grade such a record as Fair. To me, a VG record would still most often be a keeper copy.

SOUND CLIP:

I have uploaded a recording from the actual record for sale. The clip was recorded with a Thorens TD-126 MkIII Centennial record player fitted with an Ortofon MC20 Super MkII needle. If you have less sensitive equipment, you will hear less noise. I have picked out both soft and loud passages to get a feel for each. You will also get the run-in groove on both sides (you'll hear the needle drop) and some parts between songs, so it gives a full description of the record. If you hear a song fading up and the shortly afterwards fading down, then the fade out is not done by me, but is from the record, so you could hear the space between the songs.

COVER:

The fully laminated cover is very nice. As is almost always the case with laminated covers, the laminate is either lifted a bit by the spine or has small creases to it. On the front there is 11 lifting or light creases by the spine. On the back there is 9. Across the front there is 12 light creases in the laminate. On the back there is 8. The cover has become a bit unglued at both the top and bottom by the opening, but NOT split - only unglued. Overall a very nice cover. I will say EX or maybe EX- on Record Collector's grading scale. As mentioned above, I can send more pictures by e-mail.

POSTAGE COSTS:

NO FEES and NO charges for materials! ONLY actual charges. All records will be sent in sturdy mailers designed for the purpose, and the records will be removed from the cover to avoid any creasing/tearing. The following charges are what the Danish postal system actually charges. They have gone crazy in recent years. You can check out the rates for yourself if you like on http://www.postdanmark.dk/contentfull.dk?lang=en.

The Danish postal service has letters for 250, 500 and 1000 grams. This should be able to go below the limit for 500 grams:

EUROPE: $10.98 for airmail. $10.58 for surface mail. $24.75 for airmail with tracking. $24.35 for surface mail with tracking. $29.74 for airmail insured up to $177 dollars.

REST OF THE WORLD: $15.37 for airmail. $14.97 for surface mail. $29.14 for airmail with tracking. $28.74 for surface mail with tracking. $34.13 for airmail insured up to $177 dollars.

International Buyers – Please Note:

Through buying more than 200 records in foreign countries it has only happened to me twice that I had to pay custom fees, but it can happen. There should be no custom fees within the European Community.

·         Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
