What is it: The Astronauts - It's All Done With Mirrors (All The Madmen MAD 5) + lyric sheet
I know I have listed this as an Anarcho LP, but don't expect this (the band's second album from 1983 - I am selling their fifth elsewhere) to sound like Crass's Feeding of the 5000. Mark Astronaut is from Hitchin in Hertfordshire and was a fellow-traveller with the likes of Zounds and the Mob as well as being a figure on the free music scene. If all you like is Discharge, this may sound like hippy folk music. If you are more adventurous, this could be for you.
The record: EX - I would be amazed if it had been played more than twice, but since I don't know that for sure, I will say that it is pretty amazing and grade it as EX.
The sleeve: VG - It is a little bit buffered around the edges but really not that bad - especially given the crappy quality of the stock it is printed on. Unless you have serious OCD issues about sleeves being flawless, this should be just fine for you.
Trust my gradings! I worked in the rarities department of a famous London record shop chain and I grade old school. If I say something is VG I am speaking Old School Record Collector grading - i.e. a record that has been very well looked after, not (as you see all the time on eBay) something that has been found in a lake. And I don't grade anything MINT unless I know it is unplayed.
I post everywhere, and my rates are fair. I will endeavour to send expensive things signed-for, and will provide proof of postage if necessary and help you hound the postal service if anything goes missing (hasn't happened to me yet - touch wood).
NB: I recycle packaging - it's cheap and (in environmental terms) it's the right thing to do.
