Thank-you for viewing my auction. I am a vinyl obsessive for many years and specialise in eighties pop/rock. I do also get some nice earlier stuff in from time to time, particulary anything connected to the Beach Boys, Kate Bush and the Beatles (and solo works), and anything related to Eighties synth pop. I am very honest with all my listings and try to keep my prices fair and reasonable while keeping a very strict rating system and a high quality postage and packing method to avoid nasty surprises for my auction winner.

I use the Record Collectors Grading System when selling my vinyl. I am VERY strict with my gradings. I will not sell records if they jump and skip. I play test EVERYTHING I sell without exception on a Project turntable. I play all the way through, beginning to end, no exceptions. You can't grade a record holding it up to a light.

Mt- = Near Mint: In brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover and contents nearly perfect.
Ex = Excellent: Shows some signs of being played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Cover and contents might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VG+ = Better than Very Good: Obviously been played but no significant deterioration in sound quality despite light surface marks. Very little wear and tear on cover and contents, without any major defects.
VG = Very Good: Obviously been played many times but no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on cover or contents, without any major defects.
Gd+ = Better than Good: Sound quality has deteriorated but with no distortion. Light scratches and occasional mild scratch. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges but not spine splits or discoloration.
