I tend to be over critical of a records condition as it is not my intention to misrepresent what I am selling. I want the buyer to feel what they have bought is as described although not everyones opinion of its condition will be the same as mine. If you have any doubts or questions about this record, please ask me and I will try to be as helpful as I can.
Please read all the descriptions and P&P charges before bidding.
