Grading - All of my records are carefully visually graded under bright light and fully play graded before auction.

The Record is visually graded Mint Minus

The Record Labels are graded Mint

The Cover is graded Mint Minus

The sound quality is faultless

Record

The record has a fantastic glossy as new appearance, lays 100% flat on the turntable and has no warping. Even when viewed under bright light there are no marks to be seen, not even the usual hairlines! The record is graded Mint Minus

Labels

The Neon labels are stunning. The spindle hole shows no wear and there are no spindle line trails visible, not even when viewed under bright light. The labels are graded Mint

Cover

The gatefold cover with artwork by Keef is non laminated and therefore easily prone to wear. This one has defied time and is virtually as new! The only minute comment to make is tiny corner tip wear (almost negligible) and the slightest brushing to the part of the bottom edge. Every other aspect of the sleeve is perfect including front, back, gatefold interior and all edges. There is of course not even a hint of ring-wear, not even a record impression! This is a superb Mint Minus cover.

Inner Sleeve

The inner is a white poly-lined company sleeve and is in excellent condition with no seam splits or tears, just a few minor creases

Sound Quality

The sound quality of this record is absolutely superb and is that of a mint record. Even the between track grooves are silent, and the quiet sections have perfect audio. The album plays perfectly throughout and cannot be faulted in any way. A wonderful album!

Please see scans of cover and labels below

TERMS AND CONDITIONS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

All of my listed records are carefully visually inspected under bright light and play graded before auction to avoid any disappointment to buyers, so bid with confidence.

The grading system I use is from Record Collector: - Mint, Excellent, Very Good with +/- to distinguish borderline grades (see below)

Mint. This is in brand new un-played condition.

Excellent. Some signs of being played, but very little lessening of sound quality. There can be minor cover wear and/or creasing.

Very Good. The record has visual evidence of many plays including noticeable surface marks and light scratches. There should be no major deterioration of sound quality however. The cover can have light/moderate wear but no major defects.

A full no quibble refund for the cost of the record will be offered if you are not satisfied for ANY reason.

I treat all vinyl with the greatest respect whether £5 or £50, so all records are sent out with plastic covers in professional mailers and two protective cardboard stiffeners. I always separate records from their covers and original inner sleeves

for posting to prevent seam splits occurring during shipping.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to take out any insurance cover required. I would advise insurance to be taken out on any item sale greater than £30.00 as protection against loss or damage during shipping. Without this additional insurance the full value of items above £30.00 that are lost or damaged will NOT be able to be recovered.

Following the close of the auction I will send an invoice within twenty four hours. All winning bidders must make contact within three days of the end of the auction or I reserve the right to withdraw the item or select the second chance option and offer the item to another bidder.

Please do not bid if you have significant negative feedback unless checking first please.
