Hello from purplegallinule - I am a music enthusiast and have been buying, selling and trading vinyl records since the mid-1970s and I apply high standards when it comes to condition and have always taken extremely good care of my vinyl. 
Every record is machine wet vacuum cleaned before being thoroughly play tested and housed in brand new high quality poly-lined inner and protective outer sleeve. 
Although considerably more of a music fan than an expert, with almost half a century of experience I certainly know my way around the world of vinyl records well enough to say that you can buy from me with confidence and being a collector myself makes my eBay policy a very simple one - if I wouldn't be happy to slide absolutely any of these records for sale straight into my own cherished personal collection then they will not be listed for sale on here - all I would ask of you is that you give me a chance to put things right if you are not entirely happy with any aspect of the purchase as I can say hand on heart that if anything is not as I have made out it will 100% have been a genuine error on my part and it will be sorted without question as a matter of priority. After once being taken to task after failing to pick up on the fact that due to a tiny pressing plant fault there were 3 clicks to one track on an otherwise pristine original Led Zeppelin album, I am all too aware of the importance of being as fastidious as can be in my evaluations, though thankfully the vast majority do have the nous and good grace to take into account that in the complex field of what is inherently a fragile medium, little things maybe could just slip the net. However, whilst merely an enthusiast in this highly enjoyable and enchanting field, I do take this passion pretty seriously, so please buy with confidence.
All records are sent out asap and packaged thoroughly in bespoke mailers with rigid card stiffeners to avoid creasing, bumped corners etc. and I am always very happy to combine postage.
Please note that I grade everything as 'Excellent (EX)' for the purposes of the generic 'Item Specifics' as, barring M (perfect, brand new and unplayed) and G (fit for the bin), 'gradings' are so subjective that I personally pay them no attention so please see the description below for an actual worthwhile appraisal of what is for sale.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Details about this specific record: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cat Stevens - 'Catch Bull at Four' - original 1972 vinyl album in excellent condition. The run outs are stamped 'IPLS 9206 A-3U / B-4U' and 'Sterling'.
The vinyl is in pretty pristine condition with only the very lightest of wispy superficial hairlines visible in bright light and this visual condition is well reflected in the playback and I am listening to the record as I type this, currently the infectiously catchy 'Freezing Steel' and the audio is just superb, delightfully crisp and detailed. 
The glossy fully sleeve carries artwork from the artist himself and is in excellent condition with only the lightest of wear commensurate with age and careful handling.
The vinyl is now housed in a brand new poly-lined inner sleeve for safekeeping and to conserve the original pale blue standard issue Island Records inner.
All in all this is a really lovely copy of this half a century old vinyl album.

Please take some time to study the photos which are of the actual record for sale. Obviously without the option of physically being able to pick the record up and assess it with your own eyes, this is where the 'zoom' function via the thumbnails is particularly useful as a tool for evaluating the true condition of the item, though I will always aim to highlight anything regarding its condition in the descriptions which I myself would want to be aware of prior to pursuing an interest.
I have some other nice records currently listed with lots of others coming up though I do tend to list as and when I can in 'bursts' rather than always having listings running all the time.
