RECORD COLLECTOR'S GRADING SYSTEM:

MINT: The Record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and ay extra items sush as a lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

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 an occasional light scatch. Normal wear and tear on the cover and contents without any major defects, is acceptable.

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

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable 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 willbe badly damaged or partly missing.

B. PHOTOGRAPHS: All photographs shown within this listing are of the actual item(s) offered – and are 100% genuine, and taken by myself. These photographs are not in any way tampered with, what you see is what you get. I try to get the images as realistic as possible on the listing in order to give the prospective bidder the best opportunity to evaluate the item(s); however it is possible that in some circumstances the photographs can enhance the appearance of the item(s) due to compression so please take this into account before bidding.

C. POSTAGE: All the vinyls are secured with a card stiffener. I use Heavy Duty Mailers Specifically Designed for Vinyl Albums, which provide excellent security and protection. Postage prices are NOT negotiable on items dispatched individually. However, if you are a similar time multiple buyer where all items purchased are being sent to the same address and they can be combined safely, you can ask for a discounted quotation before bidding. I will always try to be fair with buyers on p&p costs but if you do not want to pay the prices on the listings or quotations please do not bid. I always keep proof of posting for you, should postal issues arise.
