Description

PLEASE NOTE: All vinyls are graded after a visual inspection of both sides and following the Record Collector grading system. A test play is done to every vinyl on a section of the start to look for possible warped or off centre records and check the quality of sound on the run in, also when noticeable scratches are found on the visual inspection I do also a test over them to see to which grade affect the sound or playability. This test are done on an economic desk and system.The grade of the albums is done visually, if during the test play any minor warp or other affection is noticed this will be noted on the description of the album. Only minor warps albums which has not produced any jump on the test are being listed. Unplayable albums are not being listed here. All this said, these are in most cases old used items, please take all this into consideration, have a good look to the pictures and read completely the description to make your own consideration of the condition of the album before bidding. Grading has not been done to justify any fixed price, all albums are listed at a low price of 0.99 independently of condition, been done to help buyers consider which is the price they find right to pay for it.
