Additional Information:
As an official Music Shop we Critically grade our Used items and mention any flaws no matter how small, we do not give just brief grading or descriptions and are not in the habit of making any item appear better than it is , we do advise referring to our grading charts if needing any more info on the codes above, we also understand how grading can be subjective and are therefore happy to discuss any questions regarding any of our used stock, but please understand we try to honestly grade - if item is graded as only good then it will not magically become Near Mint in the post.
* Please note all pictures are of actual Item, due to stock levels it is impossible for us to play grade every item - however all our listings will state whether play graded or not , where play graded please note we ONLY grade the music - any non playing areas such as in between tracks and intro / outro's are not graded as in out opinion these areas do not impact on the music.
** Where Inside Sleeve is a generic plain Sleeve then this will be ungraded - they can be replaced for a few pence and do not represent the overall quality of the Record

Used Vinyl Grading Guide
When considering purchasing one of our used LP’s we strongly advise familiarising yourself with our grading guide which has its own page at:-
This guide is to the UK record Collector standard
Please note due to volume it will not always be possible to play grade every item, listing will clearly state if only visually graded. Where we have visually graded and you are not satisfied please contact us first so we can rectify, as can be seen from feedback we are not in the habit of trying to make items out to be better than they , if after playing there is a problem we will happily rectify this but unless you contact us we won’t know of any issues.
It is important to note that if using old poorly maintained equipment and/or stylus or have a new turntable incorrectly setup then you’re listening experience can vary greatly from ours, we always advise proper set up and cleaning of any audio equipment , for help do this there are lots of online video’s available.
