My own record collection of Jazz Fusion, Jazz-Funk, Latin-Jazz, Soul and Classical and some other genres is now reluctantly up for sale due to lack of space at home.

 

Many rare and difficult to find records will be listed during the next couple of months.

 

I have been collecting since 1970’s up until 1990s.  Many of the records have

not been played since the mid to late 90s. I will be using the Record Collectors Magazine’s Grading Guide to help determine condition.

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide

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 Un-played 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.

 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.

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.
