Description

The record has been cleaned using a Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning Machine. This is a vacum record cleaning system which has been around for many years and works incredibly well. So the record will arrive in the best possible condition and I'm sure you'll hear the difference, it'll sound superb. Hope you enjoy it!
NOTE: Postage has changed to claculated cost for Australian buyers and includes a $1.50 charge for the mailer i.e. it now varies depending on your location and is calculated automatically by Ebay. I still offer a postage cap of $18.50, so please email me before paying if you want to take advantage of this offer, it's certainly worthwhile if you're buying 5 or more records.

GRADING
Grading is as per Goldmine Magazine grading standards, with items being graded conservatively.
SS : Still Sealed - in factory-fresh condition
M : Mint - perfect, factory-fresh but opened
M- : Mint Minus - a near perfect, probably unplayed record
VG+ : Very Good Plus - close to like new with only superficial signs of use that dont affect play. Only well cared for records will grade out to VG+. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector.
VG : Very Good - a used, reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.
VG- : Very Good Minus - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise.
G+ : Good Plus - In the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about beat-up records.
