Initial impressions visually are that the record is in impeccable condition, albeit with some hairlines, under strong light.

The record, hardly ever played, with be given a thorough listen tomorrow and this description will be added to and updated accordingly.

UPDATE

The record has now been listened to in its entirety and plays supremely well. I was surprised to find a few more hairlines than expected, given that the LP has rarely been out of its sleeve in over 35 years.

There are NO jumps, scratches, skips, sticks, clicks, ticks or other imperfections. This LP is near mint and the sound is crystal-clear. The hairlines however, do contribute to a very slight, feeble crackle, audible at the start of each side and again - very slightly - on the rills between tracks.

However, I stress that this in the no way impairs the music and the record plays like a sonic dream. Later today (19/01), I will give this record a deep clean and report back on findings after that.

20/01

The LP has been given a deep clean and I can declare the record uniformly excellent.

The sleeve and dedicated inner sleeve too are in near perfect condition with just the odd crease to show for over 35 years. Spine is strong and legible. On the front, there is a either a very small tear or the remains of a price sticker - am honestly not sure which. But, it’s minuscule. This can be seen in the final photo.

A little bit about me ...

First of all, I HATE selling anything, especially vinyl records. But, as I advance in years, I realise that it’s time to let go, let someone else enjoy them and maybe make a bit of money out of them. Still, it’s hard to let go. 

That said, as my feedback will attest, I treat all buyers here as I would like to be treated myself. Items will be properly described, not qualified as “used” (which is of no use to anyone) using dedicated photos where appropriate or necessary. If I feel it’s sufficient to use stock photos, then I will, in individual cases. 

Items sold will also be properly and adequately packed, LPs will be removed from the sleeve to prevent knifing and extra cardboard will be used to further protect the sleeve and record from any possible damage. 

Most of my records are in great condition. I will point out and draw attention to any defects. All items unless sealed, will be play-tested and commented on. Records will be tested at realistic volume on a Linn Sondek and any pops, crackle, skips, jumps, scratches noted. In the main, I do not usually sell crap but occasionally I do, where the item may be regarded as both a collectors’ item or a collection filler. When this is the case, its poor condition will be WRIT LARGE and the price will reflect that. 

I have never had a record returned or complained about owing to inadequate or deceptive description. I recently had one negative feedback for the first time in over 17 years on eBay, owing to a faulty VHS tape. Despite addressing the issue immediately, paying for the return and making good in the form of a refund, the buyer concerned still left me grossly unfair negative feedback. 

As a result, I have once more acquired a video player and any VHS tapes offered for sale in future will be thoroughly tested first. These are the lengths I go to. 

I invite, encourage and respond quickly to any and all questions. I’d like to think of myself as a friendly and knowledgeable guy. I post promptly where possible and I ALWAYS communicate, advise and inform of dispatch or any unforeseen delays, no matter how slight. 

Please note that posting to countries other than European ones can be prohibitively expensive ; I will post to these countries by prior arrangement, so, please wait for final invoice. In the case of the Russian Federation, Italy and South American countries, I will insist on items being tracked and signed for. 

Finally, I am pleased to advise that in the case of vinyl records, since mid-November, I now wash, clean and vacuum all items (save new and sealed records) when posting for sale and again just prior to dispatch, once sold. This ensures that they arrive in the best possible condition, ready for playing. 

When writing this concerning my items for sale , I essentially have records in mind, but the same care and honesty goes for anything else that I might sell. 

A little bit about my post office and postage. 

A few years ago they closed my local post office which was just 450m away. This was replaced by a single counter in a garage, 550m away, so no big deal, though manning was erratic. A month or so ago, they closed this too and replaced it with ... a single counter in yet another garage, except this time, it’s now 5km away. 

So, a return trip of 10km each and every time I want to post something. Staffing is even more erratic and they close on Saturdays at 13:00.  As this takes time and costs money, I have to pass this on, though occasionally when I see upcoming sales, I try and wait to post them all together. 

January 2021

Royal Mail have increased their prices and so I will be forced to pass that on, especially as I now have to travel 10km to post each parcel or packet.

As I am now selling more books, I notice that these can be quite heavy and will necessitate a relevant charge for packaging and to post.

As for Brexit ... this brings a whole new set of issues. For now, it appears there are NO customs forms or much heftier charges to post to European countries. If, in the future there is, I will post on a weekly basis from the Republic of Ireland, Covid permitting.

I have been caught out posting double and triple LPs to European destinations. In future, I will have to increase my prices for any such records.

As ever, I will always update as to the status of dispatch - before and after.
