Vintage White 'Home Taping' Inner Sleeve (Not pictured) EX 

• Rare original sleeve with EMI print and writing

• No splits

• Slide colour fading but not much and very collectible. 

Vinyl Care/Preparation

• I hand-clean every vinyl listed using L'Art Du Son cleaning solution. This removes old grease, dust etc. to improve the playback quality. This does sometimes leave residue marks, but these don't affect play. I use a top quality goat-hair brush, vacuum off the fluid, then dry and buff with soft cloths. 
• The vinyl then goes into an anti-static sleeve, supplied with the Vinyl you buy. 
• I carefully clean and dry the Vinyl outer sleeves to remove old finger marks, dirt and dust. Once done the sleeves are placed into a PVC sleeve to keep them nice and clean, they are shipped with the plastic sleeve. 
• Vinyls are then listened to end-to-end before grading, in order to give a full, honest grading. BEWARE VISUAL-ONLY GRADINGS :) ...some Vinyls that look Near Mint to the eye have skips, others that look marked play near-perfectly. 
• Finally, I take lots of pics and rip the Vinyl to WAV so buyers can either hear in advance, and/or have an accompanying digital download of the Vinyl. 
• All of the above is done to help buyers be sure of what they are getting before they spend hard-earned money and to provide a good service.  
• For this reason, I'm not aiming to be the cheapest on eBay. Sensible offers considered but please don't expect me to match auctions with no grading, no cleaning and hit-and-miss chance of buying quality :)
