I play grade all of the records that are offered in my listings. Firstly I clean the vinyl thoroughly on my record vacuum machine, then play the whole album from beginning to end. While listening, I take notes of anything that may be a problem and if significant I will mention it in my listing. My aim in doing this is to assure you that the record you receive will be as described.

I bought this record new back in 2003, played it once than stored it away in a poly sleeve until today. Play graded it today, so this record has been played exactly twice.

Condition: -

Cover is in Excellent to Near Mint condition.  

The original white inner sleeve is in Excellent condition. 

Booklet is in Excellent condition.

7" single is in Near Mint Condition. It has the misprint "recordingis" on the back of the sleeve.

Labels are in Near Mint condition. No spindle marks.

The vinyl is in Near Mint condition.  Play graded it today and it plays through faultlessly from beginning to end.

 

 

Vinyl has been cleaned on my Project VCS record cleaning machine using L'Art du Sol cleaning fluid and is housed in a Nagaoka anti-static sleeve to prevent withdrawal marks to the records surface. The album will be housed in a clear poly bag for protection.

Grading Guide

Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.

Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.

Excellent (E) – A grade just below NM where light marks can be tolerated, where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.

Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.

Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly used.

Good (G) – 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

Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death.

 

Any questions, please ask.

 

Record will be well packed.  I always remove the record from the outer sleeve when posting.

 

Please leave positive feedback once you have received the item and are happy with your purchase, and I will do the same for you.

 

Happy bidding.
