VINYL Visual: The vinyl has a DEEP, GLOSSY SHEEN and the surfaces are practically UNMARKED (light sleeve removal hairlines only which have NO audio consequence)
VINYL Audio: OUTSTANDING audio delivery - CRYSTAL CLEAR, VERY STRONG, beautifully RICH and DEEP sound. There are NO scratches, NO jumps, NO sticks and barely ANY clicks/pops (really, hardly any) - SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL. The LP plays to an impressively high standard with NO groove-wear and NO distortion and must be very strictly graded EXCELLENT+ for audio. NOT over-graded in ANY way as I use STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR grading standards (please refer to my feedback and 'about me' page)

I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period.

ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT.
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY


I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks
