POSTAGE & DELIVERY

Items in the UK are only sent by tracked services to ensure proof of delivery.
I charge the actual cost of postage and packaging - I do not profit from this.
To reduce P&P costs, I will try and reuse any packaging/cardboard that will create appropriate and superb protection to avoid damage.

All items are usually dispatched within 3 days of receiving payment.

GRADING THE CONDITION

I use an Industry Standard Grading System called the Record Collectors Grading System. The following explains what each grade means:

*I also add PLUS if it's a little better than the standard description.

MINT (M)
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 marked as Sealed or Un-played should be Mint.

EXCELLENT (EX)
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 (VG)
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 (G)
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(F)
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 (P)
The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing

BAD (B)
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

 

ABOUT ME

Subversive Graphic Designer for Musicians or environmental and humanitarian campaigns, causes and awareness.

It all started by designing and producing badges of music artists and grew from my passion to protect mother earth and all things living upon her.

Do you need a design?
I don't take on generic work like party invites, business letterheads or other mundane jobs. I only work on projects that involves taking my heart and soul on a journey, this brings out my creativity.
Reasonable rates are offered to clients looking for a passionate graphic designer whose attention to detail goes beyond obsessive!

Support Me
My own artwork, badges, prints and general clutter is always listed on eBay. More often than not, the income is put to good use by raising awareness of issues that effect us all or used to fund activist actions or work for local charities.

Thank you.
