RECORD GRADINGS

   

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM OUR FEEDBACK WE ARE VERY EXPERIENCED AND HONEST WITH OUR GRADINGS WHICH ARE MOSTLY BASED ON A VISUAL INSPECTION AND ARE MAINLY GRADED ON THE UK RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM AS BELOW:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover is pristine. All inserts are included and are in perfect condition. (Applies mainly to brand new items or sealed)

NR MINT: Vinyl and cover are virtually like new. Possibly played very carefully one or two times at most.

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.

V.G +: The record will still be nice and shiny, but may visually have a few light marks/scuffs but will play well with occasional pop/click. Some wear and tear on the cover. (This will still be a decent playable copy).

V.G: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and 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 just about 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.

PLEASE NOTE +/- may be used to indicate if item is slightly better or worse than the category of grade given.

IF WE HAVE APPROPRIATE NOTICE WE ARE HAPPY TO PLAY GRADE RECORDS ON REQUEST

IN THE RARE EVENT WE HAVE MADE A MISTAKE PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES AND GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM .......WHICH WE ALWAYS TRY TO DO...... AS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN OUR SALES .......& REMEMBER WE OFFER A FULL 100% REFUND IF NOT HAPPY ….SO FEEL CONFIDENT WITH YOUR BIDDING.
