I will happily answer any questions and/or send additional photos on request.

After years tucked away under our stairs, I've decided to have a clear out and auction my 70's/early 80's vinyl collection, including a number of 'unofficial' recordings.  I do not have the facility to clean the vinyl, so there may be some surface dust.

I have tried my best to grade records according to the 'Record Collectors' standard I found on-line and my gradings are listed below.

I will post the album(s) via Royal Mail using corrugated cardboard 'Defendapack' MusicMax LP mailers. 

Also, happy for collection.

Record gradings (sleeve graded first) :

M : Mint – Perfect / As new condition.
Ex : Excellent – Used and with minor signs of wear.
VG : Very Good – Used. Sleeve will have signs of wear/damage. Vinyl will have obvious signs of wear. Will play with no major faults, but may have some surface noise.
G : Good – Used.  Sleeve will have significant wear/damage. Vinyl will have a fair amount of surface damage. Will play with no jumps or sticks, but will have significant surface noise.
F : Fair – Well used.  Sleeve will be Badly Damaged.  Vinyl will have a lot of damage.  Will play with surface noise and may jump/stick Etc.
+ & - used if an item is between the above-mentioned gradings.

Returns only accepted in original packing.  I am afraid I cannot offer to refund my postage costs.
