Queen Greatest Hits 2 LP Set Blue Vinyl NEW in Cellophane M/NM.


Information:

I have been collecting vinyl on and off for years; ever since I bought my first record in the early 1970’s. Like a lot of people I refreshed my interest in vinyl during the pandemic and with my extra time kicking around the house started selling vinyl, some CDs, and other things on Ebay. Please see my reviews for some sense of how I am doing. Finally, I do adjust prices on individual items about once a month, so keep an eye out.


Shipping, Handling & Care:

Will ship within 1 to 3 days of payment. Shipping is as listed for the first album purchased and is adjusted to accommodate the extra shipping costs for gatefolds and double albums. Shipping costs will change as prices rise. Shipping is $1.00 for each additional record and double albums count as 2. If you are making more than one purchase do not provide payment until I send you an invoice which will account for the reduced shipping cost of the additional albums. All records have been cleaned using Spin-Clean Record Washer with MKII cleaner and distilled water. Covers have also been cleaned. Shipped in record cardboard shipping containers with extra stiffening cardboard, unless shipping multiple albums. Vinyl packed outside of the cover. I do not accept returns. My hope is you will carefully consider how the vinyl and cover is graded and look closely at the pictures provided. I really try and get it right and seem to be doing okay with that. Please feel free to ask questions. If you have an issue after purchase let us dialog and see what we can work out.


Record Grading:

I use the Goldmine Standards, with the addition of the Excellent category. Grading is the same regardless of age. Vinyl graded visually unless otherwise noted. I will not grade a record Mint unless it is unopened and rarely grade records Near Mint unless I know history or visual grading and play grading are Near Mint. Keep in mind an E record is not perfect, VG+ less so, VG can have a lot of background noises and even scratches, and G will play, but will have background noise throughout, scratches and may have skips. On occasion I may comment that a record is “weaker” or a “stronger” grade within the categories. I generally do not grade inner sleeves. If the original sleeve is included and more than a plain sleeve it will be pictured. Read below for more information.


Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.


Near Mint (NM or M-): A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, but could have been played some and more than some depending on turntable and care. The vinyl will play like new, with (no) imperfections during playback. (Note: Even new records can have some imperfections.) The record should show no obvious signs of wear. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. It is Near Mint because it essentially looks like and plays like a Mint record.


Excellent (E) seller added category: A record that will visually show some imperfections, but plays pretty much perfectly. It has been played more than several times, but well cared for. The cover may show some very light wear, but nothing significant (not noticeable from a distance of several feet).


Very Good Plus (VG+): A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature (there will be more visual defects then in an Excellent Record.), not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. One may hear some light pops or other sounds and these sounds will not be in all sections between all tracks or heard in all quiet sections of a track; they are occasional and do not affect the overall listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Excellent.


Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Visually the surface of the record can look pretty rough. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.


Good (G), Good Plus (G+): A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. While a G+ record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback. A G record may have some skips, but continue playing. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. This is a rough looking and playing record.


Poor (P), Fair (F): The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
