NO RETURNS ON THIS LOT THERE ARE TOO MANY VARYING CONDITIONS.
ALL RECORDS ARE SENT TRACKED AND SIGNED FOR.THIS PROTECTS BOTH SELLER AND BUYER FROM POSTAL SCAMS.I WILL NOT SEND ITEMS ANY OTHER WAY.
MINT: Brand new/sealed item. However records that are brand new aren't always perfectly made, they sometimes have flaws from the pressing.
MINT-: Record visually has no marks whatsoever, no marks at all on the label. However records that are brand new aren't always perfectly made, they sometimes have flaws from the pressing. Sleeve perfect.
EXCELLENT+: Very close to Mint- except for a few insignificant sleeve removal marks, maybe a trace of spindle wear. Sleeve would have maybe a single small flaw, like a crush to a corner or slight crease.
EXCELLENT: Maybe some light sleeve removal scuffs, the odd hairline, still a lovely copy. Maybe light spindle wear. Cover would maybe have a couple of crushed corners or very light rubbing to an edge or corner, maybe just a hint of ring wear.
EXCELLENT-: Still a nice glossy shine with slightly more sleeve removal scuffs/hairlines. Slightly more wear to sleeve but still crisp and clean.
VGC+: Still a nice playable copy with maybe the odd light non feelable needle scratch, a few hairlines, heavier scuffing. Sleeve would have some rubbing to edges/spine and corners, ringwear, sticker removal marks, maybe a name in biro.
VGC: Light needle scratches, some may affect playback. Many scuffs, hairlines. Sleeve has maybe small splits to edges/spine, corners well worn, some staining, biro marks, heavy sticker damage.
VGC-: Still playable, no jumps or sticks but there will be more pronounced distortion in the form of more constant ticks and clicks, popping. Sleeve will have heavy wear, splitting etc but be intact.
Below this I will not list except in the case of rare records which would be play tested and described on an individual basis. Below is Record Collectors actual guide, this may help show how I have tried to enhance it.
Grading System: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.
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.
GOOD: 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, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
