Condition Sleeve - Plain sleeve Record - VG+ (visually - i have not played it)

PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE NOT CLEANED THIS AS I KNOW MANY COLLECTORS HAVE THEIR OWN SPECIFIC WAYS OF CLEANING. DUE TO THIS, THE CONDITION WILL INEVITABLY BE IMPROVED BY A GOOD DEEP CLEAN. I WILL BE HAPPY TO CLEAN THE RECORD IF THE BUYER WISHES ME TO, PRIOR TO SENDING.

 Used vinyl can have a crackle in places. This is normally due to static build up and can be substantially reduced, or even totally eradicated, by a good deep clean - or by using an anti-static spray. We grade records according to the guidelines set down in the Record Collector price guide - the industry standard, more detailed explanations are 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. In addition to the basic grading, any individual faults should be noted separately such as if an otherwise Excellent cover has a name written on it, or a 7" single is missing its original centre etc.
