See below for higher resolution photos. Unless otherwise stated, all records I am currently selling are from my own personal collection. They have been looked after over the years, stored vertically and not tightly packed. My albums have only been played on a good quality turntable & cartridge setup (currently Rega Planar 3 & Goldring G1020) which I believe will have helped to minimise play wear to the discs.

 

I will dispatch the album in a professional, purpose-designed MusicMax vinyl mailer with stiffener (see photo). 2nd class post is FREE for UK buyers, with a correspondingly reduced shipping cost overseas.

GRADING INFORMATION:

 

Records are graded according to UK Record Collector Magazine - with the addition of how I grade surface noise:

 

Plus (+) or minus (-) afterwards indicates slightly above or below the following grades.

 

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality, and surface noise is inaudible. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be graded as ‘Mint’.

 

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. There may be occasional light surface noise, but it is infrequent, 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. Surface noise may be audible on most tracks, and always during quiet passages, but is not too overbearing. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
