SISTERS OF MERCY – “SAINTS AND MARTYRS” Colour Vinyl LP
 
Nearly all items start at £7.99 with No Reserve (no matter how rare) and my descriptions are economic in their wording & limited to the essentials.
I hardly use phrasing such as “awesome” coupled with thousands of exclamation marks as a matter of self-respect. Please rely on my feedback for a proper grading & don’t hesitate to email any questions you may have.
You can view all relevant photos at the bottom of this page
 

General details :
This very limited & obscure collection of Demos & Alternate Versions was a notoriously average pressing, therefore don’t expect audiophile delights here. The grade reflects my level of use rather than the sound quality
All this said it’s VERY ENJOYABLE and a true 'must' for all ‘Sisters’ fans & collectors

GRADING

All records are originals except when noted. Record is graded first, then the cover.
For grading purposes I use the British Record Collector's grading scale (needless to detail on this one as it's known to all collectors) with occasionally (+) or (-) signs to denote the in-between conditions.

Generally speaking:
- a MINT (M) or NEAR MINT (M-) grade will give full satisfaction
- an EXCELLENT (EX) grade is always a shiny vinyl with possibly a faint mark or two, ONLY seen under a strong light and NOT affecting performance; in most cases NM and EX are pretty close) 
- a VG+ or even a VG (Very Good) grade is always a shiny vinyl with some light surface marks & will give an enjoyable performance with no skips, pops or unpleasant surface noise.
Same logic applies to the cover's grade.
I do not list records at an inferior grade unless they are extremely rare & sought after.

PAYMENT

1. PAYPAL, UK Personal cheques, UK Postal Money Orders & IMOs (International Money Orders) in £, are all accepted and goods shall be dispatched promptly at no extra charge.

FEEDBACK
 
I always leave positive feedback the day your item is dispatched.
For your positive feedback to me, I would be more than grateful if you could do it with a 5 stars tick for the shipping charges.
If you don’t want to do this, then please do me the favour to abstain from leaving a positive feedback all together 
I completely understand your frustration over shipping charges, but trust that no profit is made over there. This charge reflects postage, decent packing materials & a truly basic handling cost
