PLEASE NOTE MY 100% FEEDBACK. I USUALLY TEND TO LIST RECORDS THAT I NO LONGER PLAY OR HAVE DUPLICATES OF, THIS IS MY FIRST OFFERING SINCE 2019. ALL MY RECORDS ARE CAREFULLY LOOKED AFTER, THEY HAVE BEEN CLEANED ON MY KNOSTI ANTI-STAT CLEANER AND PLACED IN BRAND NEW ANTI-STATIC POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVES. ALL THE COVERS ARE PLACED IN BRAND NEW OUTER PLASTIC SLEEVES.  I ALWAYS PLAY THE RECORDS THAT I AM LISTING, LISTENING THROUGH HEADPHONES ON MY HIGH END SYSTEM. I GRADE MY RECORDS USING THE RECORD COLLECTOR'S GRADING SYSTEM - I NEVER USE MINT CONDITION UNLESS FOR A BRAND NEW SEALED RECORD.
