CONDITION:

EX/G

We always strictly grade our records using the Record Collector Standard (Disc first).

Disc - visual appearance - when viewed in normal day light, the disc (on both sides) is bright and glossy with no feelable marks.  Under a very bright light, there are several light visible 'spider lines' that do not appear to affect play.  I therefore have no hesitation in view grading this disc as EX to both sides.

Disc - play condition - I have cleaned both sides of the disc with my VPI record cleaner and played both sides on my Goldring Lenco deck.  There is no crackle/noise on the introduction, it is completely quiet until the music commences.  During play there are no identified issues as it plays without fault .  I therefore play grade the disc as EX to both sides.  

Cover - Overall, the cover is in good condition.  I have tried to show any faults on the photographs as there is a small tear to the reverse of the bottom left corner.  There is some light discolouration to the front of the cover and to the un-laminated reverse however it remains bright and all the text is easy to read.  There is just the faintest trace of ringwear that is not considered to be unsightly.  As the photographs show, there are no major breaks to the breaks to the front laminate.  If I am ultra critical, I would say that the cover is not completely 'flat' as there is a distinct 'bow'. I therefore grade the cover as G.

The disc is supplied with the original DECCA inner sleeve.

I will provide further photographs and information if required.

Please note: We will only list records as MINT if we know that the record is unplayed - i.e. it is still sealed

POSTAGE:

There are absolutely no hidden charges - the price listed includes UK Signed For Delivery postage.  Next Day delivery is also available.

I always try to post out on the day of purchase if completed by 1400hrs.

Please note: During postage, the disc will be removed from the original inner sleeve and cover.  The disc will be placed inside a good quality 'non-static' inner sleeve which will be placed inside a new card inner.  All items will be further secured in bubble wrap before mailed in a good quality cruciform style mailer. 

Condition gradings:

M - Mint - In perfect/As new condition

EX - Excellent - Sleeve and vinyl is used and shows only very minor (if any) signs of wear.
