All items are from my own personal collection and are from a smoke free enviroment.I try to grade conservatively using the U.K Record Collector grading system.However,I do use NM and +/- to grade as accurately as I can.I err on the side of caution when grading and I beleive my gradings are conservative.99% of the time the highest grade I will use will be NM as I beleive that any record once played will no longer be strictly Mint.The only items I will grade as Mint are those that are either sealed or that I know have not been played because I have owned them since release and I have not played them!

I try to give a full and detailed description without leaving you as if you have lost the will to live by the time you reach the end! I use proffesional mailers with stiffeners and take the same care with packing as I would expect from those sending me items in the post.

The photograph of the item is the one you are bidding on.I do not use stock library photos.If you have any questions or queries about any item please e-mail me but do not leave it until the final few hours as I cannot guarantee that I will be able to get back to you in time for auction end.
