    PLEASE READ ALL THE TEXT BEFORE BIDDING OR PURCHASING Here is an original 1972 UK 33 RPM vinyl album of Gentle Giant. This record has been played often and contains numerous surface marks. On side 1, these marks are quite superficial with only some occasional minor effect not actually affecting the pleasure of listening (no skip). On side 2, there are particularely 2 line marks more deep who produces more background noises and more prononced, disturbing the listening, but no skip on my turntable.  
                        Visual grading (conservative) Mint (M) Vinyl Absolutely perfect. Physicaly impossible. Of course, I will not use this grade Cover Same as vinyl NM Vinyl No scratches, scuffs or other obvious defects. Very clean Cover Almost perfect. Great-looking. NM- Vinyl An almost pristine looking record with, perhaps, one or two very faint scuffs or barely visible needlemarks (hairline) Cover Very minor sign of wear, which will be specified in the listing VG++ (Exc) Vinyl Almost as good as NM-, but a few more faint scuffs and/or very light surface needlemarks. Cover No split seams, some minor signs of wear like faint ring wear or little seam wear. Still pretty good-looking VG+ Vinyl More surface light scratches or/and scuffs, with minor consequences Cover A bit more wear than a VG++, such as a moderate ring wear or/and seam wear. Maybe one very partially split seam (max: approx. 1"). VG Vinyl A good-looking record with more scuffs and/or scratches that are more audible (including some background noise), but do not overwhelm the listening experience Cover Minor split seams, perhaps some writing, tape, sticker, ring wear. Looks used, but is still a good-looking cover.



Each time, I try to make a various selection of vinyl (vinyle) 33t rpm / 45 rpm (30 cm) LP (Long Play) / 12" which includes many styles of music (progressive, alternative, psych, funk breaks, jazz, rock, bossa scat, blues, folk, R&B, soul, disco, french canadian, etc...) SO DON'T FORGET TO LOOK AT MY OTHER AUCTIONS !!!!!!

PAYMENT     I only accept PayPal
SHIPPING AND HANDLING
I use appropriate cardboard mailer and padding.

MULTIPLE PURCHASES MAY BE COMBINED TO REDUCE SHIPPING AND HANDLING COST

For shipping in Canada, it depends on the postal code. As the surface mail brings too much troubles for the buyer and the seller, the USA and International shippings are now only offered by air. For several reasons (often absent from home, difficulties with previous pick-up arrangements, etc...) for now on, I don't accept pick-up arrangement. No exception.

Pour les envois au Canada, le coût de livraison dépends du code postal. Comme les envois internationaux de surface causent de nombreux problèmes quant à l'intégrité des colis, les expéditions se feront par avion seulement. Pour plusieurs raisons (souvent absent, difficile à rejoindre, etc...), je n'accepte plus maintenant la livraison directement en main propre, sans exception.

IMPORTANT : Honesty is a real value for me. So, if you think this purchase doesn't respect the description made (as I can't listen completely all the records,  the evaluation is often visual only. So, if there's a problem, PLEASE contact me.
