CONDITION (VINYL/COVER):  EX+/VG+. Vinyl is really clean with a nice dark sheen.  Played all of this tonight. Sits flat on the turntable. Plays EX and better.  Music is clean, clear and loud. Sounds pretty much perfect. Cover is clean condition.   It is firm and square and has minimal edge wear, light corner wear and minimal creasing.  It has an un-removable UK record shop (HMV) sticker to front of sleeve and a very faint shadow where another has been removed. Plain white inner is in clean EX condition with minimal wear and no splits.  Very clean labels- check out the photos.  No writing, rips stickers or sticker tears.   
GRADING SYSTEM: I use UK’s “Record Collector” Grading system. MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface mark or deterioration in the sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in the 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 has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. I will at times use a + or - to indicate when a record falls between the grades. 
I am just starting to sell off my very extensive record collection, built up over 40 years. I have hundreds of rarities in fantastic condition from many genres including blues, punk, metal, britpop, progressive, kraut, classic and hard rock. Almost all of the records i list will be in at least VG+ condition. The only exceptions would be some extremely rare records. PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR FAVOURITE SELLERS LIST.
