Vinyl Surfaces - VG

Graded under a  10k lux daylight lamp and spotlights + Test Play (End to End) on budget deck 

Audio Test: VG

Listened to whole album on budget deck through Audio Technica studio-quality headphones. 

   - Light background noise on gaps between tracks and on quiet parts of some songs (and there aren't many..!)

   - A couple of very minor clicks on a couple of tracks - with clicks on quiet part of 'Mariner'. 

   - On the whole the album sounds clear and crisp and can be enjoyed from start to finish...and you can't beat that Vintage Vinyl feel and Analogue mastering

Visual Check/Bright Spotlights: VG Light marking and hairlines visible, nothing major. Has clearly been played a good number of times, but has been fairly well cared for and has nice sheen. No major/deep scratches. 

Visual Check/Bright Daylight: EX 

Vinyl Labels - Excellent 

• Labels excellent 

• No mould, scratches or marks. 

• Colours and printed text all perfect 

• Tiny amount of wear on spindle holes 

Outer Sleeve - VG

• Outstanding condition for age.  Has obviously been kept in a plastic cover since purchase and handled very little. 

• Minimal spine-wear, writing perfect. Visible part where a price label has been removed and taken part of the cover with it (please see pics)

• TINY amount of corner-wear if you really look for it (millimetres) 

• Tape repair on top edge - pleas see pics 

Inner Lyric/Picture Sleeves - EX+

• Band pictures part NM, no colour fading, no creases.  

• Lyric part excellent. All lyrics perfectly visible and no colour fading, no creases. 

• Inner spines excellent with TINY amount of wear and no splits. 

• Difficult to find an inner sleeve in better condition than this one unless brand new & sealed. 

Vinyl Care/Preparation

• I hand-clean every vinyl listed using L'Arc 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. 

• Once cleaned, I 'buff' the Vinyl using a very soft cleaning-cloth, then place it into an anti-static black sleeve. This sleeve is supplied with the Vinyl you buy. 

•  I also 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 make sure they don't skip etc. BEWARE VISUAL-ONLY GRADINGS...some Vinyls that look Near Mint to the eye have skips, others that look marked play near-perfectly. I've learned that you can't grade a Vinyl without listening to it :) 

•  Finally, I take lots of pics and rip the Vinyl to 256kbps MP3 (budget deck only at the moment) and make a sample video, uploaded to YouTube to let you hear the quality of the vinyl surfaces and see HD large pictures of the item. 

•  All of the above is done to help buyers be sure of what they are getting before they spend hard-earned money! For this reason, I am not the cheapest on eBay and don't want to be. All offers are considered but please don't expect me to give them away :) 

Shipping & Payment 

• Well packaged in stiff, thick card mailer + Stiffeners for protection.
