Toni Braxton – Secrets LP w/ Insert (1st European Press) La Face
I am selling a small portion of records (17 LPs and a bundle of 4 7"s). I just recently acquired these and am selling some before I head back to the Unites States to lighten the load that I am bringing back hah. I am listing some real heaters. Examples such as 1st UK Presses of Led Zeppelin's IV (Untitled), Bullet's The Hanged Man, Gong's You, & The Smiths' The World Won't Listen as well Joy Division's Closer (A1 OLD BLUE? / B-1). I listed a real solid group of records so good luck bidding!!
----------------------------------
Press Info: 1st UK Press
Vinyl Grade: VG
Vinyl has nice sheen. Features hairlines and some marks under harsh light. Nothing that can be felt. Side B has more marks. Overall I'd say it's a VG copy. Has marks but the record looks fairly solid and should play well.
Cover Grade: VG++
Cover looks great
Insert looks nice
----------------------------------
GRADING SCALE:
*These records were only visually graded!!
SEALED / MINT - Record jacket is sealed. Disc is sold "as-is"
NM - Super clean record with basically no imperfections. Appears unplayed or barely played at all. I?d use this rating extremely infrequently
EX - Basically either spotless visually or sounds extremely clean.
VG++ - Has extremely few light marks. Very clean
VG+ - Has some imperfections, such as hairlines or scuff, but looks clean and plays well
VG - Similar to VG+ but has more imperfections. Records VG and up will not typically have any scratches deep enough to be felt.
VG- - Fair amount of imperfections or scratches that may affect playability.
VG-- - Plethora of scratches scattered throughout. Literally scratches/hairlines everywhere.
G - Imperfections and scratches throughout including scratches that cause playback issues and can be felt.
*I dont grade records considering the spindle marks. I might not even mention it but if it catches my eye I will mention so. If that is an issue for you, ask ahead of time.
----------------------------------
SHIPPING RATES
UK: 5 shipping plus .50 each record up
International: 30 plus 5 each record up
*In the US, I usually ship records with a new mailer as well as a new plastic outer sleeve and inner sleeve. Unfortunately, I do not have these while I am in the UK. So the records will be sent as is in mailers I have received during my stay. I will make sure to pack extremely well and stiff so the records will be secured
**If you won the auctions of multiple records, wait to purchase until I send you an invoice with the fixed shipping rates. Otherwise, they will be sent as is.
----------------------------------
*If you have any issues with the records, please message me before leaving bad feedback. I am always available to help with any problems.
**If you have any questions about the listings, feel free to message. Good luck bidding!!
