EX+  BOB DYLAN - Self Portrait Double LP   EX+ vinyls

These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system (as detailed below) except I won't use Mint. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding..

This listing is for Dylans' 1970 album

Bob Dylan
Self Portrait
UK CBS label
1970
Cat Number: S 64086
Mode: Stereo

Condition:
Cover: Unlaminated gatefold sleeve has general light wear and tanning of the white areas, but it's strong and intact with no writing or stickers and a spine with all text clearly legible. Two pristine CBS inners, interestingly advertising the Andy Williams album collection!
Labels: Orange labels are bright and clean, no more than a couple of spindle marks each side, no writing or stickers. Excellent
Vinyl: Vinyl has great original lustre, few even of the customary and expected paper scrapes, nothing at all nasty and it plays excellently throughout.

Overall:
A top copy of this album - I'd guess that this might be professionally graded at (cover / vinyl) VG+ / EX+ / EX+

Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing. I played most of this one, but if you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation. 

Postage: Now whatever Ebay decide they will charge you - I am no longer allowed to make my own decisions. Just like they also now charge rip-off 'seller protection fees'  ... all designed to make them money. 

Packaging material is a brand new custom mailer with stiffener.

International bidders welcome, but postage will be handled by the eBay global shipping program - unfortunately I have no control over the onward shipping cost, and the UK leg will cost as above.

The time has come to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix coming up over the next few months if you keep an eye on my other items now and in the future.

GRADING: UK Record Collector Grading system:
(I try to grade along the same lines as professional sellers might. However, I don’t use Mint or NM for any LP’s of significant vintage as most will as a minimum have paper scuffs and dust / static build up however good they look .. so EX+ is as good as I will go. I don't have any of the lower 3 grades which are there for reference only. Most records in my own collection are VG+ and EX, the sleeves will tend to be VG and VG+)

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 un-played 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, 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.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
