A TOP COPY CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY AUDIO: NM/MINT; this has been completely play graded from start to finish and both sides played through perfectly with a bright clear audio. A beautiful crisp sound without a hint of distortion. Just one tiny bit of crackle at the start of side 2. The record is virtually silent between tracks. I do not use the Mint grade for a used record, but I imagine that this is as close to Mint as it gets. Superb audio throughout; sounded fantastic.
VINYL VISUAL: EXCELLENT(+); beautiful shiny vinyl that retains a lovely sheen. Just a one light tiny mark to side 2 + some ultra light paper scuffs under natural daylight. Bright light revealed just the usual wispy sleeve removal marks. Looks great. 
LABELS: MINT; I could see no spindle marks whatsoever; superb. 
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT; the laminated gatefold sleeve is a superb example and would be very difficult to better. The only thing preventing a clear Mint grade are a few small scuffs to the bottom edge of the interior centrefold caused by the gatefold sticking together. Otherwise, the sleeve is in absolutely wonderful condition.
INSERT: MINT; superb; looks like it has barely been touched ever.

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 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!

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.
