CONDITION:-

All our vinyl records are graded according to the Record Collector grading system (see notes below).

Vinyl (visual grading):  When inspected under a strong light there is nothing to cause concern, just a few faint hairlines. The vinyl is immaculately clean and retains its deep black gloss.  ** EXCELLENT **

Vinyl (play grading):  This record was played IN FULL (both sides) to grade it. Plays well and produces very enjoyable sound but in my view there is a little too much surface noise to qualify for an excellent grading (although most eBay sellers would probably give it that grade). A great listen! A conservative ** VERY GOOD **

Sleeve and inserts (if applicable):  No splits, tears or writing but evidence of aging and some ring wear. ** VERY GOOD **  

Please  to see my other high quality, CDs, records and hi-fi for sale.

Equipment for play grading:  Modified Technics SL-1200 MK2 direct drive turntable with Rega RB250 tonearm (with FULL Origin Live mods) and Nagaoka MP150 cartridge, TAG McLaren PA10 Pre-amp with phono stage,  modified QUAD 405-2 Power Amp (upgraded op amps & capacitors, etc.) and KEF Reference One full-range floorstanding loudspeakers.  BeyerDynamic DT770 (250 Ohm version) headphones are occasionally used instead of the speakers. This system has the quality and resolution to reveal even the most minor defects in the records I sell.

All Picture(s) are of the actual item for sale. Item is sold as described and as pictured.

Some notes about my record/CD grading:  Many sellers on eBay overstate the condition of their records/CD's.   As an audiophile and a collector of records myself I feel it as very important for sellers to honestly and accurately describe the  condition of their used goods.

All my records are graded according to the industry standard "Record Collector Grading Criteria".

"MINT": The record 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, discolouration, 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.

As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new  but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a  previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the  accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.

In addition to the basic grading, any individual faults should be noted separately such as if an otherwise  Excellent cover has a name written on it, or a 7" single is missing its original centre etc.
