Description
Vinyl is EX
Sleeve is VG
I grade all records using the Record Collector's Grading System which is as follows:
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 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 noticable 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 discoloration 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.
Shipping: UK will be £2.60 (2nd class, signed for, recorded delivery) in sturdy cardboard LP packaging. Mainland Europe: £3.50. North America: £5.30 [Standard Airmail only].
All other regions/countries - please enquire before bidding.
I have other vinyl items on eBay at present - if you win/purchase more than one then I will endeavour to combine and thus reduce postage costs but cannot guarantee this.
Returns: Please note - I am NOT an expert at grading vinyl LPs. I am just selling an old collection of records which are not going to get played As a result, my grading (such as it is) may or may not be accurate (from the looks of it, grading of records looks somewhat subjective anyway). I have tried to be completely honest in the description above but if you are an expert collector then your opinion may differ from mine (mind you, if you're an expert collector then you're probably not even looking at this bit!). Where there are obvious scratches on a record I will have played the relevant tracks to check the quality.
I will accept returns only if the condition of the item is significantly different to what I have described above (e.g. LP is scratched and this has not been clearly described).
Damage or loss in transit will not be covered. If this is a worry, request insured/tracked shipping. Items will be shipped in sturdy cardboard packaging.
