CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY SLEEVE: EXCELLENT(+); the sleeve is a super example. Lovely and bright both inside and out with very little wear at all. Just some very light small creases + the mildest hint of ring wear to the exterior. The interior centrefold has little to fault and is close to Mint on its own.  
Just minor wear to the opening edges. The spine shows some light wear and a little laminate peel, but it is firm with all text still clearly legible. Overall, the sleeve looks wonderful.
INSERT & INNER: The original 'cut out' card insert is in superb MINT condition.
The original psychedelic inner is usually seen with splits and tears, but this is a fantastic example and grades as NEAR MINT with just very light signs of handling. No rips, tears or writing. Looks superb. The best I've seen.
AUDIO Side 1 VERY GOOD(+) / Side 2 VERY GOOD; this has been completely play graded from start to finish at volume and both sides played through nicely without jumping or sticking. The clarity of the audio was really nice throughout; bright and crisp without any distortion.
There was some background crackle and static in places + some pops and clicks, but nothing that I felt was particularly intrusive. Both were more noticeable during side 2, hence the difference in grading. Overall, though, the audio was good throughout; a nice listen.
VINYL (VISUAL): VG/VERY GOOD(+); the vinyl has retained a reasonable shine but does have some noticeable light marks and light scratches as expected for this grade. Overall, the record looks very presentable. 
Both labels look nice. Bright with no writing. Just the expected spindle and needle marks consistent with having been played + general signs of age and a few very light marks.

PAYMENT & CHECKOUT
Please remember that your bid is binding. 
I reserve the right to cancel bids from buyers whose previous feedback ratings are poor.

GRADING

Unless otherwise stated, 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. 

 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 ie. I lose money on the costs of buying my packaging. I do not profit from this; please remember that my costs are not simply those shown on the stamp!

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.
