CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY AUDIO: Overall grade VERY GOOD(+); both sides play through nicely with a bold and clear mono sound. There is some background static and crackle in places (predominately towards the end of side 1) + some stray clicks here and there. Overall though, this was a great listen.
VINYL VISUAL: VERY GOOD(-); the vinyl has many noticeable light scratches and scuffs but nothing that seems to have a drastic impact on the audio. The record definitely plays much better than it looks.
LABELS: Both  EX/EXCELLENT(+); just a bit of spindle wear showing.
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT; the fully laminated sleeve is a lovely example. Some light laminate rubbing and the odd small crease. Some very mild ring wear, but overall looks great.
SPINE: Fine; just some very light wear with all text legible.
INNER: The inner is OK in itself but has an 11cm split to the bottom edge and 'BARBARA' has been written on one side in red pen.
INSERT: EXCELLENT(+); looks great.

GRADING

All of my records have been play tested before listing using a Rega P3-24 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge & stylus. 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 will never grade a used record as Mint as I do not believe that a second hand record ever truly can be. Therefore, if I grade as Near Mint or Excellent(+) then you can assume that is as near to Mint or Archive quality as I believe it can be. Please take confidence from the fact that I have been a collector myself for over 20 years (please check my feedback as a buyer) and know only too well how disappointing it is to receive an inaccurately described record.

I also grade visually using a strong halogen lamp.

I use the Record Collector grading system as shown below.

POSTAGE / SHIPPING

I post worldwide and pack all records in custom made (stiff) card mailers and add extra packaging inside to ensure a safe delivery. I will provide a protective polythene sleeve and the record and inner will be removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits in transit. I want your record to get to you in the condition that it was when it left me.

For any records that come with printed inner sleeves, I will also provide an additional plain inner.

As a general rule, shipping will be discounted.

Shipping rates quoted are valid up to a total sale value of £2500 within the UK and £500 for overseas buyers.

Overseas buyers please note that any item or items with a total value of £25 or more will be sent by International Signed For with no exceptions. Please ask for a quote or wait for my invoice if the final sale is more than £500.

CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS FOR OVERSEAS ORDERS: Please note that for overseas orders from outside the EU I am obliged to complete a customs declaration and must enter the true value of the package's contents on the declaration. It is the BUYER'S responsibility to ensure that all import duties are known and paid.

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.
