Description
I bought this record 30 years ago from new as the Blitz Boys were a local band - I'm amazed to see this record regularly sell for a figure well over £100 these days.
This was recorded in the days of DIY - the sleeve consists of two folded and photocopied separate pieces of A4. Thirty year old bits of paper do get a little bent, but overall the papers are in excellent condition (just a little folding to the top of one of the papers, which may be able to be gently ironed out). The vinyl is in near mint condition, I certainly didn't play this record a great deal; the only damage of note is a little pulling of paper from the label of the b-side (it looks as though the label may have stuck to the label on top and teared slightly when separated during that home spun production). The slightly damaged side is the one showing on the photo.
Given both the value of this record and perhaps the minority interest in owning it, I have had to place a solid but (fairly low) starting price on the lot (I have seen some offers for this record on the internet, so will sell it via that route should it not make its reserve here). Likewise, I'll look to send this recorded delivery due to a recent difficult experience with a con-artist (I very much regret it means the postage price has to rise a little on this item - it always seems to be the way that the minority spoil it for the vast majority of honest people).
I accept paypal best, but am OK with UK cheque or if you want to risk sending cash through the post - UK,US or Euro notes. Likewise I'm happy to reduce postage costs should you win more than one lot.
Give me a shout if you have any queries - I use the standards records gradings as described below.
Mint (M)
A record in mint condition should be in perfect, brand new condition. There should be no evidence of wear and tear, and the vinyl should show no signs of having being repeatedly played.
Near Mint (NM)
As the name implies, a near mint record should be almost perfect. The vinyl should show no more than the most minor of defects and the sleeve should be practically flawless. Typically, a record in Near Mint condition would be Mint but for possibly one small defect, maybe a minor surface abrasion on the vinyl or a tiny crease on the sleeve.
Excellent (EX)
A record in Excellent condition will show signs of use in that there will be some light scratches or surface abrasions on the vinyl, but this will not affect the sound quality in any way. The sleeve may have some tiny amounts of scuffing or have some small creasing in the corner tips.
Very Good (VG)
A record in Very Good condition will have numerous light scratches or scuffs on the vinyl, but it should still play without noticeable deterioration of the sound quality. The sleeve may have a small split, or have noticeable scuffing and creasing along the edges. The label may be slightly discoloured and some ring wear may be visible.
Good (G)
An record in Good condition can be played without hopping or skipping, but there may be some hissing or extra surface noise. The sleeve will have some seem splits, scuffing, creasing, and may also be discoloured. Ring wear may well be visible and inner sleeves may show signs of wear and tear.
