Provenance
These
albums belonged to my brother-in-law who, in the words of Van Morrison,
passed "beyond the bridge where angels dwell" back
in 2009. He was far too young but would have shrugged his shoulders and
said - who wants to live forever?
Most of the albums would have been bought new between
1967 and 1991 but there are a few that were obviously picked up
secondhand in the record shops he used to frequent in London and
Southend. He look after his records carefully, had decent equipment and
never played anything to death. In almost all cases where there were
pictoral inner sleeves the record was rehoused in a new liner so that
the original inner didn't get damaged
Close your eyes in fields of wonder
Close your eyes and dream

Grading
I do not
have any equipment to play these records therefore grading
is
VISUAL ONLY based on
the following adapted from the
usual Record
Collector gradings
EXCELLENT : The record may show some signs of
having been played, but there are no visible marks or scratches. The
cover will be almost as new. There may however be very light shelf wear
but there will be no defects or other marks
VERY
GOOD + : Record is almost EXCELLENT but may have a minor mark or marks
that will not affect play. Cover will be undamaged but may be have one
or two minor marks or be a little dirty through age
VERY GOOD : The record has obviously been
played many times and may have 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 looks to have been played
so
much that the sound quality may have deteriorated, perhaps with some
distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents may suffer from
folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
In the
event that a record does not play properly - i.e. has skips or
noticeable scratches - we will happily offer a refund
Cleaning
All records have
been cleaned with an anti-static brush to remove most visible dust
however static being what it is more dust will have inevitably been
attracted by the time the record is replaced so they may need a little
more cleaning. Due to their age these records may benefit from proper
wet cleaning but this decision is left to the purchaser. There seems to
be a concensus that wet cleaning decreases surface noise and
improves sound so may be worthwhile if you know what you are doing!
Packing
Albums will be shipped in specially purchased
packaging designed specifically for LP's which will hold the record(s)
securely without movement and which extends about an inch beyond the
sides of the record to prevent damage to corners
Shipping
All items sent by Royal Mail First Class or by Airmail
unless requested otherwise. Royal Mail Special Delivery or Signed For
is available
upon request and may be used automatically for high value items
