Why go to the expense of paying top dollar for a new COPY of a vinyl record, when you can own the Original vinyl pressing! This original recording would have been produced before the Master Tape had any chance to deteriorate.

I have listened to many audiophile records, which are usually beautifully packaged, quiet and sound smooth, but most often can sound rather dull and lifeless, lacking in drive and excitement when compared to the Original pressing.

But don't take my word for it, save yourself the cost of the often inferior over-produced audiophile COPY and buy the Original record on the Original label with the Original art cover work! PLEASE ENSURE YOU READ THE GRADING SYSTEM BELOW BEFORE BIDDING. ( RECORDS ARE USUALLY GRADED BY SIGHT ONLY . PLAY GRADED ONLY IF STATED ) Grading Level = +/- White = LP & Blue = Cover MINT (+/-): Only used when the record has never been played. The cover and packaging would normally be sealed or as new. NEAR MINT + (NM+/-): This is the top mark for USED LP's. The record looks in new condition and there are no surface marks. If play graded - no surface noise. The cover and packaging look new and are in near perfect condition. EXCELLENT + (EX+/-) : The record shows signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality. It may possibly have a little light background surface noise, but with few pops or clicks and very few if any, hairline marks. The cover and packaging may have a small amount of shelf wear (possibly a little bit of laminate lift) and maybe a few extra items on the packaging, such as cellotape or pen ink etc. However, it will have no rips, cuts, splits or tears unless stated. VERY GOOD + (VG+/-) : The record shows sign of having been played many times, with perhaps a little deterioration in absolute sound quality, having a number of clicks and pops, with some background surface noise, noticeable surface marks and some hairline scratch marks. Normal wear, with some soiling of the cover. It can include some laminate lift, cover opening cuts or splits and a few extra items on the packaging, such as cellotape or pen ink etc - but without any major defects. GOOD + (G+/-) : The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeable deterioration. Usually with scratches and some distortion, it may even cause the stylus to jump or stick. As well as normal wear and tear, the cover and packaging will suffer from cuts and rips, folding, scuffing of edges, splits and extra items, probably with discoloration and/or a lot of soiling to the cover and packaging. FAIR + (F+/-) : The record is still just playable, but has considerable surface noise, distortion and scratches; it will most likely cause the stylus to jump and may even stick in places. The cover and packaging will suffer from major defects and will be torn, stained and / or defaced - my lowest grade possible.
