(Please note: All records have been recently cleaned, using the Spin Clean Vinyl Record Washer MKII Record Cleaning System and should be largely free from dust and grit. Also, all singles will be posted in either brand new, purpose-built, cardboard record mailers or once used Amazon cardboard packs, which are super strong).

Free postage on additional vinyl purchases: Don’t you just hate winning a record in an auction for £1 and then having to pay another £4 or more on top just to get it posted to you? I certainly do. Well, my solution to that is to offer my auction winners the chance to have multiple records sent for just one lot of postage. Here’s how it works;

·      All of my auction listings are done in batches, which are set to end within an hour or so of each other on the same day.

·      Bid on as many items as you like and if you win one, don’t pay for it until all of my other auctions in that batch have finished (or until you are sure that you don’t want any more of my items for that day).

·      After all of the auctions for that day have finished, you should receive an invoice from me with the correct postal discount applied. Then, you can make your payment. 

·      I can post up to 6 LPs (single, not double) and/or 12” singles in one mailer for a single payment of £3.50 (that’s £3 to the Royal Mail and 50p for the mailer/label printing etc. I don’t make any profit on postage).

This listing is for ……

Motorhead – ‘Killed By Death'. Shaped picture disc. Cat no. BROP 185

VINYL CONDITION   = VG (has discoloured a lot over the decades).

SLEEVE CONDITION = VG

This record has been owned by me since its release and was played a few times on a turntable that had a worn/damaged stylus. As such, it exhibits a small amount of ‘groove wear’, which should be visible in the photographs. This wear may or may not be audible on playback – it rather depends on the size of your stylus (larger ones will pick it up more than smaller ones, which tend to get closer to the bottom of the groove). It should be free from deep scratches though and although it may ‘click’ on playback from small scratches, it should not jump or stick at all.

Please bid according to the condition described above, as I cannot accept returns for records where the faults have been clearly described. Thank you!

* For a full explanation of what the abbreviated terms for condition in my listings mean and how the records have been graded, please refer to the blue paragraphs at the bottom of the page.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and good luck with your bidding! Also, please feel free to check my 100% positive feedback for recent vinyl sales.

·        Combined postage is available and is explained near the top of the page.

·        Returns are not accepted (except in line with other eBay policies).

*The “Goldmine Standard” record/sleeve condition grading system explained:

(NM) Near Mint

A nearly perfect record. A NM record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.  

(EX) Excellent (*also known as ‘Very Good Plus’ or ‘VG+’)

An Excellent record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.  

VG (Very Good) 

Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time. 

(G) Good, (G+) Good Plus

A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
