    Notice To International Buyers...The double wrap carton mailers I use with LP's give corner protection
    for long hard postal journeys and with a standard LP it meets the lower weight tariff of 500 gms. If the
    LP is double album or gate fold etc the higher weight tariff of 1000 gms is applicable.
  
   A Couple Of Words About My Grading...I don't sell new records so I never use the MINT grade..highest I use is Near Mint or EXC+

   I adhere to Record Collector guidelines..After cleaning and playing I give a visual grade augmented with an audio report.
   Some records can have a poor visual grade but sound amazingly good, I describe these as 'Plays Better Than Grade'
   Some records can grade EXC but have a flaw when played, if these are offered for sale I explain what the flaw is.

   When it comes to picture sleeves a quality picture tells a thousand words, but not if the SEAMS are splitting, so I will give
   information regarding that. Good pics can help a buyer make an informed decision on sleeve / label condition, but not entirely on what they will sound like,
   hopefully with offering a visual grade, an audio grade and the pics it goes some way to making an informed buyers decision.
