VINYL VISUALLY: SIDE 1 (F)  SIDE 2 (F+) THE VINYL IS FLAT AND GLOSSY AND BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN HEAVILY PLAYED OVER THE YEARS. WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT YOU CAN ONLY SEE LOTS OF MILD/HEAVY PAPER SCUFFS, HAIRLINES AND LIGHT SCRATCHES WITH A COUPLE OF MILD SCRATCHES THANT CAUSE THE REPETATIVE POPS MENTIONED BELOW. A FEW RADIAL MARKS WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT BUT LUCKILY THEY DO NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS. THIS VINYL PLAYS BETTER THAN IT LOOKS! STRICT GRADING!! VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!!

PLAYING GRADE: SIDE 1 (G+) SIDE 2 (VG-) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE & BOTH SIDES PLAY WELL WITH SOME NOTICEABLE STATIC/CRACKLE AND THE ODD POP. SOME REPETATIVE LIGHT POPS/CLICKS DURING 'WIND QUARTET', 'TRELAWNY LAWN' & AZNAGEEL THE MAGE' . NO STICKS NO SKIPS NO JUMPS NO DISTORTION. THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED UNTOUCHED FOR OVER 45 YEARS SO MAY BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONAL MACHINE CLEAN. I AM BEING HIGHLY CRITICAL AND MY PLAY GRADE IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT I CAN HEAR ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL! EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION ESPECIALLY AS A GENUINE UK MONO 1ST PRESSING.

GRADING

All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.

M (Mint) : The Record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EX (Excellent): The Record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VG (Very Good) : The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

G (Good) : The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

F (Fair) : The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POSTAGE & PACKAGING

I always charge less postage than what it actually costs me. If the actual cost of postage is less then I will refund the difference. All records are posted fully insured. In the UK they are sent via Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded delivery (Special Delivery at no extra charge if the record is £50 or over). Overseas all records are posted via Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed, tracked or signed depending on what options are available. All vinyl is posted using correct card record mailers/cruciform boxes with at least 5 cardboard stiffners. The sleeve is always sent in a new poly outer and the vinyl is put in a new polylined paper inner outside of the sleeve to avoid splits/damage during transit. 7" vinyls sleeves are sent in a new PVC outer and the vinyl is put in a new card inner outside of sleeve. I will always do everything I can to guarantee that your record arrives in the same condition it leaves me.
