On the HP List = The best recordings ever, (Editors Choice) chosen by Harry Pearson of The Absolute Sound (TAS) USA

This record and sleeve are in NM/NM condition (vinyl/sleeve)

For worldwide shipping costs for 1 to 7 records see further down the page. The more records you win the cheaper the postage. (Just like a discount).

The LPs and sleeves are visually graded under a strong light and play graded if necessary on a Garrard 401 turntable with SME 3009 II tonearm. When play graded the results will be reported here.

I am now selling 50+ records every week on eBay.

GRADING

M = A 'Mint' record and sleeve has never been played and is most likely to still be in it's original wrapping.

NM = A 'Near Mint' grade record will have no sounding marks and a crisp clean sleeve.

Ex = An 'Excellent' grade record and sleeve may have only a few light superficial surface marks and scuffs but no major scratches.

VG = A 'Very Good' grade record will have more or heavier surface marks and/or sleeve wear but should play without any major deterioration of sound quality.

G = A 'Good' grade record and sleeve has been played so often that there is noticeable deterioration of sound quality with possibly some distortion and mild scratches. The cover will be well worn and possibly torn.

Any record and sleeve of a lower quality than 'Good' is discarded.

Only records of Near Mint (or occasionally excellent) quality will be listed on eBay.

Some records in our catalogue are 50 years old or more and may need cleaning. We recommend that all records are professionally cleaned on a Moth, Nitty Gritty, Keith Monks, VPI or some other such machine.

We now have a Moth MKII and a Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning Machine.

Just £1 (GBP) per record.

Price includes a new top quality inner sleeve.

All records are covered by our money back, no quibble, guarantee once they have been returned to us in the same condition as when they were sent. See our 'Feedback' on eBay for our level of service.

Please add $5 to the total amount if paying by BidPay to cover the Western Union charge as the cheque MUST be made out in GB Pounds sterling not dollars. This is still less expensive than UK bank charges, which would also have to be added to the final price, for cashing a Western Union dollar cheque.

PayPal is fine although cash in GBP via airmail or registered post is the preferred method of payment. US dollars or Euros are also accepted at $1.95 and 1.55Euros to 1GBP. (The prevailing exchange rate will be used if different to the above). If you can't pay cash then I will accept BidPay.

I will only accept PayPal as a last resort from UK customers as their fees to me vary from 4% to 10%. As yet I do NOT  pass this charge on.

For UK customers a cheque is preferred NOT PayPal.

Buyer pays postage and packing costs.

All records professionally packed. Seller has 28 years experience in the packaging industry.

Superior Packaging

All of my single and double records are sent in dedicated card mailing envelopes with 2 cardboard stiffners with the corrugated flutes at 90 degrees to each other for added rigidity, the vinyl is removed from the outer covers and placed in polythene sleeves. Muliple records or boxsets are sent in dedicated corrugated cardboard boxes and then, where possible, placed in a "Jiffy" type Postal Bag. "Fragile" stickers are used both sides plus senders name and address for security reasons.
