CONDITION & PHOTOS
As stated above, all 6 records have been play graded from start to finish and all play through superbly with no skips, jumps and without sticking. There is absolutely nothing that will spoil your listening pleasure of this fantastic set.
As with most vinyl, there is of course the occasional underlying surface sound and static tics to be expected on all records even when new. There was some light surface noise on some of the run-ins, which soon went, the odd light click here and there and some occasional static, but nothing at all that was intrusive.
All 6 play grade at least as EXCELLENT ranging up to EX / EX+. I use the Record Collector grading system (see bottom of listing) and grade strictly and conservatively using this.
Visually, all 6 records retain a high sheen and grade a minimum of EXCELLENT ranging up to NEAR MINT. Bearing this in mind, I am sure that a professional clean could make the audio on these sound even better than it does already.

GRADING
All of my records have been play tested before listing using a new Rega P3-24 turntable. I describe honestly and accurately but please bear in mind that I am only human and such things are always subjective. I tend to grade records conservatively and believe that my feedback speaks for itself. I am a collector myself (please check my feedback as a buyer) and know how disappointing it is to receive an inaccurately described record.
I use the Record Collector grading system as shown below.
Please do let me know if you require any additional photographs of the sale item as I will be happy to oblige.
If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason, please do contact me as all problems can be sorted out.
POSTAGE / SHIPPING
UK BIDDERS: THIS ITEM WILL BE POSTED BY SPECIAL DELIVERY ONLY. PLEASE NOTE THAT STANDARD DELIVERY IS NOT AVAILABLE.
OVERSEAS BIDDERS: PLEASE NOTE THAT SHIPPING PRICES QUOTED ARE UP TO A MAXIMUM SALE PRICE OF £500. IF BIDDING EXCEEDS THIS AMOUNT, PLEASE WAIT TO BE INVOICED AND I WILL ENDEAVOUR TO SHIP VIA THE CHAPEST SECURE METHOD AVAILABLE TO ME.
This is a heavy item, but shipping costs will only reflect the actual costs of packing and postage. I will not profit from this but please be aware that I have had to buy the materials to pack this securely.
The records will be removed from the sleeves and packed separately in new paper inner sleeves. I want your record to get to you in the condition that it was when it left me.
I will always offer a postage discount for multiple purchases. Please send me a message for a quote.
CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS FOR OVERSEAS ORDERS: Please note that for overseas orders outside the EU I need to complete a customs declaration and must enter the value of the package on the declaration. It is the BUYER'S responsibility to ensure that all import duties are known and paid.
Please send me a message if anything is unclear and I will be happy to help.
**I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL BIDS FROM BUYERS WHOSE PREVIOUS FEEDBACK IS POOR**
RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM
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 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, discolouration, 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.
