Before you place a bid would you / could you take the time to read my listing and Terms & Conditions.

Hi and thank you for your time to view my items.

I’m not here to have an open debate or argument with anyone in the Ebay community, whether they be a professional or amateur seller or collector but over my collecting years there is always an element of surface or background noise/sound with audio reproduction on vinyl whether new or old.
Grading records is one of the most controversial areas of collecting / buying second-hand vinyl records, with differing opinions as to what constitutes the condition of the LP/single being sold.
All used vinyl have at least light marks and surface scratches which are always visible when viewed under a bright light, ( in my opinion a scratch is one that can be actually felt and not a mark caused by the LP-LP's being taken out to be played.)
Hairline marks. It is almost impossible to find any non-sealed record without any hairline marks - many had them from new, particularly if sold with cardboard inner sleeves. They are a result of storage and use and have in most cases little impact on sound quality. As for background noise, all records will have some background noise which varies wildly and often reflects the variable pressing quality. I will point out marks, warping or background noise when listing and play grading, if I consider them significant. My advice would be to stick to CD if you are after total blackout silence or are after glass like perfection. Myself I believe surface noise adds to an emotional experience of reality which can not be matched by CD this is only only my opinion.

All the records (LP’s and 7 inch singles) that I intend to put onto Ebay for sale are 2nd hand either my own or have been given to me and have in many cases been played, some more than others. But I will always highlight this fact when grading, if the vinyl has surface marks or other defects these will be pointed out also. If they are re-issues then this will be pointed out.

I unfortunately don’t always have time to play grade every item I put up for sale, and most of my grading is done by purely visual means, so please view my feedback and you will see that I try to give the best account on the condition of any item I put up for auction, please bare this in mind when bidding. I will though if necessary play LP’s, and singles that are very collectable to get a better insight to the playing condition of the item being sold for auction where time allows.

I will never play/sound grade coloured vinyl or picture discs, they were made as limited edition collector's items only and the vinyl used to do this was of a lower quality. They will more likely have crackle and pop with background noise. They were made only to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, rather than have audiophile sound quality.
Now I accept that the above may differ from any winning bidders perception of what I have graded. I cannot always vouch for whether every record plays all the way through in total black silence with no noise. If you have any doubts then please email me or again just view my feedback.

All items are packed and dispatched in reinforced heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements. I use heavy duty packaging tape. I always separate the LP from the sleeve and any inner sleeves that are part of the LP. This stops any damage to the sleeve while in transit.

All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Unauthorised public performance, broadcasting and copying of this record prohibited. Made in Great Britain. EMI Records (U.K.)

NOT PLAY GRADED: Please note that this is a used item and there is always isolated static, ticks, light pops that maybe or can be heard, even in the quieter places during the play of any vinyl. There will be elements of surface noise. More noise than others. Please remember that this is an original 47 year old vinyl. A habit of cleaning the vinyl with a carbon brush before each play will reduce any static. If possible you should have the LP professionally cleaned.
(I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable/system - Please use an amount of common sense... but then this is ebay!!!)

THE COVER: The gatefold cover shows light minimal wear to the top and bottom edges, there is very light scuffing due to storage with light visible discolouration. The spine remains intact with a very small split plus creasing. The opening edge has very light minimal creasing. There is a small area of surface damage towards the left corner (view Images ).. I have graded the cover in VERY GOOD condition.

THE BACK COVER: The matt back cover mirrors the front in quality, no other signs of any damage are visible. I have graded the back cover in EXCELLENT condition.

THE INNER SLEEVE: Both the rounded cornered lyric sleeves have no signs of damage either writing or splits. There is visible discolouration seen as small blotches to both surfaces of each inner sleeve. I have graded both inners in EXCELLENT condition.

THE VINYL: All sides of this vinyl double LP show a deep shine. There are no deep scratches which can be felt or seen, there are minimal hairline marks too all sides when held under a strong light. I have graded the both vinyls in EXCELLENT condition.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
GRADING: I only grade in line with UK Record Collector grading system as set out in the Record Collector Price Guide book, and do not use USA Goldmine grading system. The only difference I make against the Record Collector grading system is I grade a record Mint if its sealed, I do not believe a record to be mint if not sealed. My highest grade for an opened LP is near mint.
I grade under a strong light that picks out any imperfections on the vinyl.

If for any reason you disagree with my grading or reasoning then please email me through the ebay message system and lets resolve the matter as adults before leaving negative feedback. Everybody on here believes they are an expert well we are not, we are human and can sometimes get things wrong. If I have got it so wrong I will work with you to resolve it. I can not be any fairer than that, but please check my feedback you will see I do not get it wrong that often, I try very hard to give an accurate description, apart from the one member who left negative because I would not be subjected to feedback hostaging.
Please note all International buyers you are responsible for any custom charges incurred.
