Hello and welcome to my auctions.
I am pleased you could stop by and take a look at what I have for sale today. I hope you won't be disappointed at the quality of my merchandise, incl. some obscure progressive, psychedelic rock lp's. Feel free to see all the lp's I have.

Firstly, I must say that I really do know how to grade a record. I have had only 1 complaint about my grading of a record which was 3 years ago. I was careless at that time as it was part of about 60 lp's I listed in one fell swoop and I was working too fast before time got away from me.

I have been grading and selling records for many years now and after that time one tends to learn what to look for and describe what you see so that the description relays a mental picture to the other person. Having said that, and with the above facts & figures in mind, please bid with absolute confidence on my listings. I and others would say that I am one of the best and longest in the business and if you want to find sellers who grade badly or package badly with flimsy mailers like many UK sellers (who use envelope mailers with either none or one stiffener) or don't say how they grade/package at all, then it would be easy to do and you will get as much joy from them when you open the mailer as can be expected i.e. none. I grade under direct lamplight..of course, and play grade them on my Rega Planar 2 t/table with RB250 arm and new Elise Cartridge.

A grading of M- is my highest grading for a used record. To my way of grading, if it displays a few light paper scuffs from putting the disc in and out of the inner sleeve or perhaps a few tiny creases to the spine area, this signifies it is a used record but handled with extreme care if there is nothing else to report. It is as good as a used record gets. Anything else/more faults would get EX to EX+ for sure and then downward from there. I AM pretty pedantic. I have had no complaints so I am doing something right obviously. - Which brings me to packaging.

The lp will be placed in the middle of one panel of a 35 x 35cm cardboard which is 4mm thick. Then it is sandwiched between another such panel. These oversized panels mean it is going to be protected from side impacts and corner impacts due to the space all around it. We collectors need this sort of thing badly, but sadly, not many sellers offer it.

Then, after this has been taped around the edges, I take ANOTHER two such 4mm thick panels of the same size and tape them over the original sandwich-style mailer I just made, thus providing an astonishing 8mm (or > 5/16 inch) of impact protection on BOTH SIDES of the lp and tantamount to packing it in an Abrams M-1 tank !! Can send photo of example of completed packaging upon request.

Of course, the lp jacket/sleeve is placed in a plastic outer sleeve and the disc is placed behind it and the plastic sleeve is then taped down around the edges if there is loose space there, to avoid movement or sliding around of the item. If you're sick of receiving bad packaging from record sellers, then you'll be glad to know that that sort of thing stops right here!

I will try and make the condition/description as brief as possible with no hype like "Stunning" etc... as others sellers do.

Well then, now that you have read that and understand the parameters of my listings, here then, are the details and item description of the lp.

For auction today: Procession - Live at Sebastians - Festival lbl # SFL-932903. Aust orig with flipback sleeve. From 1968. Nice/presentable copy visually but displays some background noise when played so play grade as VG or so. I guess it's nearly 40 years old and to be expected.

Graded: cover/disc = EX/EX.

I will do my best to answer any questions about this item and send more photos of item via email, if you request it.  Overseas postage for this lp wil be approx. US$12.00
