Description
Have a batch of albums to sell for a friend - sadly, not been looked after very well...
(The condition of this brought tears to my eyes...)
The labels are immaculate, the vinyl looks so as well, apart from a messy thumb mark or something at the start of side 1.
There's crackle and pop on the record, tends to be worse at the start of each side.
Sleeve JUST ABOUT OK - spine has gone, split of two or three inches in the middle, and top and bottom worn. Front and back show 'record rim wear', and corners a little scuffed.
* SELLING ON BEHALF OF A FRIEND - CONDITION NOT DOWN TO ME!!!*
* WILL COMBINE POSTAGE + PACKING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS WON *
I use the Record Collector magazine grading system, and err on the side of caution - i.e. will downgrade a record's condition in the listing rather than upgrade it - if any marginal doubt. Sleeve always graded first.
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.
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of 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 badly damaged or partly missing.
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.
