CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY AUDIO NEAR MINT; this has been completely play graded from start to finish at volume and both sides played through wonderfully. The clarity of the audio was superb throughout; bright and crisp without a hint of distortion. 
Apart from a touch of light noise at the very start of side one, there was no background crackle of any sort whatsoever and I heard just 2 light pops across the whole record. There were very occasional light dust clicks and light static both of which could be heard on a brand new record anyway. Superb audio throughout; sounded fantastic.
Given the vinyl's visual appearance, it is very possible that the audio could even improve if the record was given the benefit of a professional clean.
VINYL (VISUAL): NEAR MINT; the vinyl has retained a wonderful sheen. Under natural daylight, the disc looks unmarked. Bright illumination under an LED lamp revealed just minimal ultra fine wispy sleeve removal marks. The record looks superb and has clearly been well cared for. 
LABELS: MINT; both labels look superb with barely any spindle marks whatsoever suggesting very little evidence of play. Bright and clean with no scuffs, tears or writing. 
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT(+); the sleeve is a super example. Bright and clean with just a few very 'oxbow' laminate creases to the front + a few tiny light laminate lines towards the spine.
The spine is very nice; firm and straight with all text still clearly legible. Just very minor wear to the opening edges. Looks wonderful.
INNER: The fragile inner sleeve is also in great condition. Just some minor creasing/signs of handling + a partial indentation made by the record. There is a small number 19 on one side and a number 21 on the other but I cannot tell if this is part of the design or has been added by a previous owner! No tears or splits; looks great.

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!

CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS FOR OVERSEAS ORDERS: Please note that for overseas orders from outside the EU I am obliged to complete a customs declaration and must enter the true value of the package's contents on the declaration. It is the BUYER'S responsibility to ensure that all import duties are known and paid.

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.
