CONDITION

SLEEVE: EXCELLENT(-) condition overall BUT there is some slight fraying around the hole and some small writing in the top corners (see photos).

LABELS: The labels themselves are reasonably OK with just some light wear and marks but unfortunately there is writing on both sides. On side 1 'KB' has been written twice in small letters and on side 2 two names have been written (see photos). On side 2, faint red lines have been drawn on the silver 'Parlophone' (see photos).

RECORD - SOUND: VERY GOOD(-); some surface noise present throughout but both sides play through fine.

RECORD - VISUAL: GOOD(+) to look at; reasonably shiny vinyl but it has its fair share of marks and light scratches.

GRADING

All of my records have been play tested before listing using a new Rega P3-24 turntable. I describe honestly and accurately but please bear in mind that I am only human and such things are always subjective. I tend to grade records conservatively and believe that my feedback speaks for itself. I am a collector myself (please check my feedback as a buyer) and know how disappointing it is to receive an inaccurately described record.

I use the Record Collector grading system as shown below.

Please do let me know if you require any additional photographs of the sale item as I will be happy to oblige.

If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason, please do contact me as all problems can be sorted out.

POSTAGE / SHIPPING

I post worldwide and pack all records well in thick card.

I will always offer a postage discount for multiple purchases. Please send me a message for a quote.

Any auction which exceeds a final sale price of £46 will need to be shipped by the following methods:

UK & Channel Islands: Special Delivery Next Day (Express Delivery)

Overseas: International Signed For

Please send me a message if anything is unclear and I will be happy to help.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT: The record itself is in brand 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 perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some 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: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
