I am reducing my record Collection. All records for sale are from my personal collection which I have built up over the last 30+ years. I am not a shop and I do not act for 3rd parties, I am a collector of vinyl and a music fan!
Please read my descriptions carefully. I have tried to describe all items accurately. I have taken plenty of photos of each item to show the overall condition but I'm no photographer so if you want more info please feel free to ask. Most of my vinyls are shiny and clean so you will see reflections in them. Major faults are mentioned.
If you are not happy with your purchase, I will be more than happy to give a FULL refund once you have returned the item to me but I cannot give partial refunds. I know as a collector how important the description is so please let me know if you have any problems and I will resolve them. My 100% positive feedback since 2002 matters to me.
My grading generally follows RRPG but i do not consider as MINT unless it is NEW or only played ONCE. NEAR MINT is the best grade I would give most used records. 

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever.

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 scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good (G) 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 (F) The record is still 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.

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.
