All items will be packed carefully in bespoke record boxes with card stiffeners. All records are now in new inner sleeves to protect the originals and will be sent separated from the main sleeve to prevent splitting during posting/shipping. All sleeves and records are protected in brand new plastic sleeves.
International shipping is possible. Please message for a quote as prices vary from country to country.
Please note that there are no scratches on the record surface. The lines visible on one of the photos are what look like cat(?) hairs (despite there being no cat in the house at the moment!) I have now gently dusted the surface.
