CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY AUDIO At least EXCELLENT; this has been completely play graded from start to finish at volume and both sides played through superbly well without jumping or sticking. The clarity of the audio was outstanding throughout; bright and crisp without any distortion or evidence of groove wear.There was a little light crackle in places, but this was mainly only between tracks and never intrusive or over the music. Some light clicks at the start of '2000 Man' but that was about it.
The sound was fantastic and the record a real pleasure to listen to.
VINYL (VISUAL): EXCELLENT(-); the heavyweight vinyl looks great and has retained a wonderful shine. Under natural daylight, there are just some very light superficial marks and hairlines. Bright light revealed just further light wispy sleeve removal type marks and further ultra fine hairlines. The record looks great and has clearly been well cared for over the years.
Both labels look great; bright and clean with just some spindle marking consistent with the record having been played.
SLEEVE & INNER: The 3D laminated gatefold sleeve is a superb example with very little to fault at all; grades EX(+)/NEAR MINT. The exterior is bright and clean with just some very minor light laminate lines towards the spine and the 3D image still firmly in place with very minimal signs of storage. The interior centrefold looks fantastic and is very close to Mint on its own. The spine is close to perfect with all text still clearly legible. Looks absolutely wonderful.
The fragile thin paper inner sleeve is also in great condition and grades as EX/EXCELLENT(-) condition with some very light and minor handling wear/creasing. There are some light nicks and a few very tiny tears across the top edge, but nothing untoward or worrying. Foxing spots to the interior. Looks lovely overall.

GRADING
Unless otherwise stated, all of my records have been play tested before listing using a Rega P3-24 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge & stylus. 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.
Please take confidence from the fact that I have been a collector myself for over 20 years (please check my feedback as a buyer) and know only too well how disappointing it is to receive an inaccurately described record.
I also grade visually using a strong halogen lamp.
I use the Record Collector grading system as shown below.
POSTAGE / SHIPPING
I WILL ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES AND OFFER A DISCOUNT. PLEASE ASK FOR A QUOTE IN ADVANCE.
I post worldwide and pack all records in custom made (stiff) card mailers and add extra packaging inside to ensure a safe delivery. I will provide a protective polythene sleeve and the record and inner will be removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits in transit. I want your record to get to you in the condition that it was when it left me.
For any records that come with printed inner sleeves, I will also provide an additional plain inner.
As a general rule, shipping will be discounted ie. I lose money on the costs of buying my packaging. I do not profit from this; please remember that my costs are not simply those shown on the stamp!
BUYERS OUTSIDE OF EUROPE, NORTH AMERICA, AUSTRALASIA & JAPAN SHOULD NOTE THAT THE SHIPPING RATES QUOTED ONLY APPLY UP TO A MAXIMUM SALE VALUE OF £250; PLEASE ASK FOR A SHIPPING QUOTE IN ADVANCE STATING YOUR FULL ADDRESS INCLUDING POSTAL/ZIP CODE.
CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS FOR OVERSEAS ORDERS: Please note that for overseas orders from outside the EU I am obliged to complete a customs declaration and must enter the true value of the package's contents 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.
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.
