I have cleaned with Okki Nokki record cleaning machine prior to play-testing

VINYL VISUALLY IN VG+ CONDITION - BUT THE PLAYBACK WAS EXCELLENT

Some light minor/superficial surface marks/light whispy fine hairlines visible - nothing serious - no deep scratches - Have checked vinyl under a bright light

Superb audio - Light clicks on inbetween tracks & quiet passages - specifically track B3 and few other tracks

Have playtested vinyl on a Regar Plan 2 deck

There were no skips, jumps, or sticks, but there were some light clicks – more noticeable in between tracks & during quiet passages

Sound quality is excellent – no deterioration in sound quality

When the vinyl was played, the background noise did not overwhelm the music - nor ruin the listening experience.

Record labels are clean and the print is clearly visible. 

 No writing on the record label

No sticky residue or discoloration.

Except for light trace of spidermarks & light minor spindle wear.

SLEEVE & INNER SLEEVE/LYRIC INSERT IN EXCELLENT/ EX/VG+ CONDITION

The sleeve has general light storage/shelf wear from rubbing & handling etc  i.e the sleeve has some small light minor creases & very light wear on/near the edges

Sleeve inner has very light minor wear - top condition

Lyric insert has light handling wear - but no splits or tears.

Sleeve has been nicely cared for.

Sleeve has lasted very well - In nice condition for its age.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The above table is meant as a general guide for combined discount shipping, as some LPs (with heavy duty/gatefold sleeves + extras) weigh considerable more than others, which may mean that the total weight of the package will be more than the expected calculation and therefore will require an adjustment to the total P&P cost

Postage rates includes insurance up to £20 UK/EUR/ROW, but no tracking

If the total order is significantly above this amount, I will have to ask the buyer for pay for tracking/signed for, which will be an additional

GRADINGS ARE BASED ON RECORD COLLECTOR

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 the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

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.

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.

I DO NOT SELL ANY VINYL GRADED LESS THAN VG, UNLESS IT IS ANYTHING THAT IS VERY RARE OR SPECIAL.
