Grading


Records are graded very conservatively, and inspections are done under a strong halogen lamp. I follow the Record Collector grading system.




Shipping and packaging


PLEASE NOTE! IMPORTANT INFORMATION!


This record will be shipped from Sweden.


Shipping cost for Tracked postage: 16 GBP


All records must be shipped registred with tracking number.  


However, if the buyer so wish, I can send the record by standard delivery for 9 GBP. However, this will be at your own risk and I will NOT be held responsible for standard delivery that gets lost in the mail.


I pack using professional mailers and stiffeners. I will remove the record from the outer sleeve to avoid seam splits. 




Record cleaning and playing


All my records are carefully cleaned using a professional Loricraft PRC 6 record cleaning machine for superior sound and supreme vinyl preservation. After cleaning the record is put in a brand new lined inner sleeve. Of course, the original inner sleeve is always included if existing.


The amount of surface noise, crackle etc depends on the condition of the record, but also on the kind of equipment used. This record has been graded using an extremely revealing top quality high end system. Turntable: Brinkmann Balance. Tonearm: Thales Simplicity. Cartridge: Lyra Atlas SL, tracking at 1.72 grams.
