CONDITION:       STRICT  U.K. MAGAZINE  'RECORD COLLECTOR'  GRADING SYSTEM USED.  I aim to provide an accurate and honest appraisal of condition.  It’s in my best interests to do so.  I WANT YOU TO COME BACK.    All records are checked in good natural light and play tested IN FULL at a high volume on high-end audio equipment.    Used records are cleaned using a Moth vacuum record cleaning machine prior to play testing, unless condition deems unnecessary. 

Playing condition is EX/EX+, if not better in places.   Records have clearly had very little previous play.    Occasional low-level background surface noise.  Random odd pop.   Overall, NO loud crackle  NO loud consecutive clicks  NO distortion  NO jumps  NO sticking.

Visually, in good daylight, the vinyl looks EX+/NrMINT.   Very few and light surface marks/scuffs.  Playing surfaces lovely and clean and retain their original sheen.

Labels are NrMINT.    1 or 2 spindle marks.   All text perfectly readable.   NO rips  NO writing  NO stickers.

Covers grade as EX+, if not better, particularly #2.    Minor edge/corner wear.   Couple of creases.    All spine text perfectly readable.   NO seam splits  NO rips/tears  NO writing  NO stickers. 

PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR TRACKLISTING AS WELL AS A GOOD LOOK AT CONDITION.  PHOTOS ARE OF ACTUAL ITEM FOR SALE - NO STOCK PHOTOS USED. 

Record Collector Magazine Grading System  - VINYL

MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint

EXCELLENT (EX) 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.

VERY GOOD (VG) The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable

GOOD (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeable deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F) The record is still just 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 deface

POOR (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing

BAD (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler
