The Smiths - That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore (Vinyl 12" record) vinyl EX cover VG slight edge ware

I grade using the Record Collector Grading System as described below:




MINT: 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 advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.



EXCELLENT: 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: 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: 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: 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: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.



BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."



As well as the above grades, NEAR MINT is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.



POSTAGE... I am happy to combine postage under the weight of 2kg I always send 2nd class recorded. I sometimes recycle packaging where possible. Vinyl with be sent out of the sleeve to protect from damage.



Lots of vinyl being sold over the coming months. Most of my vinyl is from new but a lot is bought from fairs/car boots... I always try to buy mint records but this is not always that easy but I will give a full honest description of the albums I'm selling. I use a Technics turntable SL - J100R
