A1/B1 MATRIX 
E. J. DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE
HEAVYWEIGHT 148g VINYL
*FULL RELEASE DETAILS CAN BE FOUND BELOW THE PHOTO GALLERY
CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY AUDIO: EXCELLENT; this has been play graded from start to finish and the record played great with a bright clear audio; a lovely crisp sound without a hint of distortion. Very minimal crackle which was, on the whole, confined to between tracks. Great audio, a fantastic listen from start to finish.
VINYL VISUAL: VERY GOOD; the record retains a nice shine but does have some noticeable light surface marks and light scratches. Nothing that affected play though. Looks more than presentable and it definitely played better than it looked. 
LABELS: Both are fine; bright and clean. Some spindle tracing and needle marks. No tears, scuffs or writing.
SLEEVE: Overall VERY GOOD(+); the fragile gatefold sleeve is a nice example. Just some light shelf wear to the front but noticeable ring wear to the rear. The interior centrefold looks great with just mild signs of age. Scuffing to the top and bottom edges and some feathering to the opening edges. The spine shows signs of wear but all text remains legible. A more than presentable example.

GRADING

Unless otherwise stated, all of my records have been play tested before listing using a Rega P3-24 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge & stylus. I describe honestly and accurately but please bear in mind that I am only human and such things are always subjective. I tend to grade records conservatively and believe that my feedback speaks for itself. 

 Please take confidence from the fact that I have been a collector myself for over 20 years (please check my feedback as a buyer) and know only too well how disappointing it is to receive an inaccurately described record.

I also grade visually using a strong halogen lamp.

I use the Record Collector grading system as shown below.

POSTAGE / SHIPPING

I post worldwide and pack all records in custom made (stiff) card mailers and add extra packaging inside to ensure a safe delivery. I will provide a protective polythene sleeve and the record and inner will be removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits in transit. I want your record to get to you in the condition that it was when it left me.

For any records that come with printed inner sleeves, I will also provide an additional plain inner.

As a general rule, shipping will be discounted ie. I lose money on the costs of buying my packaging. I do not profit from this; please remember that my costs are not simply those shown on the stamp!

Shipping rates quoted are valid up to a total sale value of £2500 within the UK and £500 for overseas buyers in the territories shown below:

Please send me a message if anything is unclear and I will be happy to help.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

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: 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: 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: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
