Please note I am no Vinyl expert but I am starting to fall for the lure of Vinyl, I am currently saving for my first player and therefore all grading is done under strong light only. The records themselves are inherited through various family members who no longer deem it a format of choice.
I will try to answer any questions posed, to the best of my ability.
Please note that all items will be carefully packaged and only sent using recorded delivery.
Also please note that the condition of this and any other Vinyl I will list will not all of a sudden turn into a superior than stated copy in the post.
I do only rarely grade using mint. Cheapest by far on EBAY in this condition!!
