RECORD GRADINGS (BASED ON A VISUAL INSPECTION) Only on request do I play  grade .

OVER THE YEARS VINYL RECORDS CAN ACCUMULATE DIRT DEEP IN THE GROOVES.  IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BUYER DEEP CLEANS ANY LP USING A RECORD CLEANING MACHINE SUCH AS A KEITH MONK'S, OKKI NOKKI ETC.  PLAYBACK CAN BE VERY MUCH IMPROVED BY DOING SO.

MY GRADING INFORMATION
NEAR MINT+ THE RECORD LOOKS UNPLAYED. HAS NO SPINDLE MARKS. NO SURFACE MARKS. PLEASE NOTE I CANNOT GUARANTEE THE LP HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED BUT INDICATIONS APPEAR TO SUGGEST THIS. NEAR MINT THE RECORD HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER.  VISUALLY NEARLY FLAWLESS BUT MAY HAVE SOME VERY LIGHT HAIRLINES OR PAPER SWIRLS THAT SHOULD NOT AFFECT PLAY ON MOST TURNTABLES.   EXCELLENT+   THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED.  IT MAY HAVE A FEW SPINDLE MARKS,  NON SOUNDING HAIRLINES, PAPER SWIRLS OR SCUFFS. EXCELLENT   RECORD WILL PROBABLY HAVE A FEW SURFACE MARKS. SOME MAY WELL BE AUDIBLE CAUSING TICS ETC.  THERE COULD ALSO BE A DEGREE  OF SURFACE NOISE, SOME SPINDLE MARKS OR A DULL SURFACE.  THERE SHOULD BE NO JUMPS OR SKIPS. VGC    THE RECORD WILL HAVE AUDIBLE MARKS AND SCUFFS, MAY SKIP OR JUMP BUT STILL BE PLAYABLE.  SHELF FILLERS FALL INTO THIS  CATEGORY.   ***NEAR MINT ADDENDUM THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT TIC OR POP SHOULD BE EXPECTED AS IS THE CASE WITH ALL  VINYL NEW OR OLD AND IS MOST OFTEN CAUSED BY STATIC ELECTRICITY. THERE MAY BE SOME SPINDLE MARKS ALSO. IF THIS IS  UNACCEPTABLE THEN A CD IS THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE.  PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT A NEW RECORD. IN GENERAL NEAR MINT LPS  WILL BE WITHOUT PROBLEMS. SOME MAY LOOK UNPLAYED BUT EVEN THESE CAN HAVE UNWANTED BACKGROUND NOISE.  ALAS THIS IS THE NATURE OF VINYL.
GRADING OF BOXES NEAR MINT:       THE BOX WILL BE NEARLY AS NEW EXCELLENT+:     THE BOX WILL BE VERY TIDY WITHOUT STAINS, BURRS OR WRITING. EXCELLENT:   THE BOX HAS SOME AGE WEAR,  BLEMISHES OR LIGHT STAINS.  SLIGHT DAMAGE WITH AN EFFORT TO REPAIR. CORNERS MAY BE  BURRED.
