Time to downsize to make way for other music, I will be listing a number of my treasured compact discs and records ranging from psych/prog to soul to folk to blues and everything in between, over the coming months.

 If you like this record there is a good chance others I am selling may tickle your fancy, so please feel free to have a look. I hope they find their way into the hands of people who will love them as much as I have over the years.

 Thanks for looking & good luck should you decide to bid.

 I guarantee the condition of the records and their covers/inserts etc are accurately described and that any photos used are of the actual record/cover/insert for sale.


If you want any further information on any records please contact me and i will answer your query as quickly as possible

ALL ALBUMS ARE SECURELY PACKED TO PROVIDE EXTRA PROTECTION DURING TRANSIT. THIS IS PART OF THE POSTAGE COST.

Please understand that I live in a small country town and mail often takes a little longer to reach it's destination than that sent from a major city. Mail is sent on Wednesdays as we live a 100km round trip from the post office

RECORDS ARE PLAY GRADED ON A TECHNICS / NAD SYSTEM UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. RECORDS ALSO PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED ON A MOTH PRO CLEANING MACHINE

Audio reproduction on vinyl: In my experience there is always an element of surface or background sound with audio reproduction on vinyl, even when new - very hard to imagine how there could not be when two solid surfaces come into contact with each other and are then amplified! In my opinion anybody who claims there is no surface sound, or ‘silence’, is hard of hearing, has not turned the amplifier on, or is using very poor quality audio equipment. Almost all used vinyl has at least light surface scratches which are always visible. So if you are uncomfortable with a bit of light crackling it’s probably best not to buy vinyl. In my opinion the light surface sound is more than compensated for by the clarity and ‘reality’ of the overall sound reproduction.


GRADING

M-  A perfect record, will have no marks.

EX   A near perfect record,

VG+  A very very good record, can have a few marks but not scratches, basically a very clean record.

VG   A grey area, this is still a highly playable record but has marks & some acceptable deeper ones. 

VG-  More beat up but still playable. For example a jamaican record can look VG- but play well..

G    A beat up copy, plays, but with a hell of a lot of feeling. I rarely list here.


I grade conservatively so you should not be disappointed

This Lp has been play graded and has been cleaned.
