Notes
Recorded 11th May 1981CONDITION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY - the cover has generally minor signs of age with very slight storage outer rim record-shaped impression (NOT wear!), a single tiny 'spot' towards side opening, a few small lines/crinkles by the spine and a few very pale yellow 'stains' to rear, bottom right quarter (I tried to get decent pics of this but it was very difficult for some reason - anyway, please see all picture above).
Side 2 of the record is in EX condition, with nothing worse than the odd very light hairline only. Side 1 has about half a dozen visually noticeable but VERY LIGHT (top surface only) surface marks, 3 of which are quite long and 3 of which are small. The original inner sleeve for this record is a thick(ish) clear plastic type, almost like tracing paper (see picture) and these, over time, inevitably get creases in them; in my opinion, these creases have caused these light marks when the record has been removed and replaced from the sleeve - I have seen similar before on other records with these types of inner. The other option is spindle marks and inner sleeve marks combined. Either way, play is not affected on my deck! I have attempted to get photos of these marks but only have an old phone camera - but hopefully they will give you an idea.
Please see all pictures above and if you have any questions or need any more info., don't hesitate to get in touch.
Cover and labels are as seen in the pictures above (actual item shown) - see below for record grading, which obviously applies to records which have been played ONLY!
Please note that all vinyl is visually graded under a bright halogen bulb - it is only play-graded if specifically stated.
POSTAGE AND PACKING
UK - £3.95 by Royal Mail 2nd Class or £4.60 Royal Mail 1st Class (both include small home collection fee).
ELSEWHERE - please select the 'Postage & Payments' tab, then choose your country from the drop-down menu and click on 'get rates'.
VINYL GRADING
NEW: note that still sealed items will be presumed to be in 'new' condition, but are obviously sold as seen. Any visible signs of wear/storage etc. beneath the shrinkwrap will be mentioned.
MINT: note please note that I will NEVER use the 'MINT' grade, as I think you are asking for trouble! The highest grade for an item that is not new will use will be NM (Near Mint).
NEAR MINT (NM): The record itself is in very close to 'as 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 almost perfect condition.
EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played a number of times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and maybe some occasional light scratches. If there is any surface noise it will be occasional, light and unobtrusive. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD (G): The record has obviously been played a lot and while it still plays through OK, it will have a lot of surface marks and/or light scratches (maybe also the occasional 'feelable' scratch) and most likely there there will be regular and noticeable surface noise. The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine and/or seam splits, discoloration, etc.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
*Important* - the ONLY countries I will send to by uninsured mail are as follows: -
- UK.
- Europe (EU countries ONLY and Norway).
- USA and Canada.
- Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
If you live anywhere else then your parcel MUST be insured, the cost of which is to be covered by the buyer. Very sorry, but NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule.
If you live in a country that I am prepared to send by regular, uninsured mail please bear in mind that I always get a receipt and proof of posting for every item sent, but THERE WILL NOT BE A TRACKING NUMBER UNLESS YOU HAVE PAID FOR INSURED/TRACKED MAIL. Should an item take longer than expected to arrive, I will do everything I can to help, but please don't assume that there is a tracking number! Most overseas buyers seem to assume this, for some reason! If you want the item to be tracked, please choose the 'International Signed For' option at checkout - thanks!
Finally, please note that if your item (or if the combined values of the items in a single parcel) is £20.00 or above, then insurance is compulsory wherever you live. This is an extra £1.10 for 'Signed For' in the UK (up to the value of £50, after which extra cover will need to be paid for by the buyer) or an extra £5.30 for overseas buyers to cover 'International Signed For'.
