Original Picture & Notes Inner Sleeve

• I hand-clean every vinyl listed using L'Art Du Son cleaning solution. This removes old grease, dust etc. to improve the playback quality. This does sometimes leave residue marks, but these don't affect play. I use a top quality goat-hair brush, vacuum off the fluid, then dry and buff with soft cloths. 

• The vinyl then goes into an anti-static sleeve, supplied with the Vinyl you buy. 

•  I also carefully clean and dry the Vinyl outer sleeves to remove old finger marks, dirt and dust. Once done the sleeves are placed into a PVC sleeve to keep them nice and clean, they are shipped with the plastic sleeve. 

•  Vinyls are then listened to end-to-end before grading, in order to give a full, honest grading. BEWARE VISUAL-ONLY GRADINGS :) ...some Vinyls that look Near Mint to the eye have skips, others that look marked play near-perfectly. I've learned that you can't grade a Vinyl without listening to it :) 

•  Finally, I take lots of pics and rip the Vinyl to WAV so buyers can either hear in advance, and/or have an accompanying digital download of the Vinyl. 

•  All of the above is done to help buyers be sure of what they are getting before they spend hard-earned money and to provide a good service.  For this reason, I'm not aiming to be the cheapest on eBay, but to provide accurately graded, clean vinyl so you don't have to worry about  hit-and-miss chance of buying quality :)  

Shipping & Payment 

I combine shipping cost for multiple purchases - please contact me to let me know before paying and I will give you a quote.  Well packaged in stiff, thick card mailer + Stiffeners for protection.  Vinyl will be removed from inner and securely packed during shipping to prevent splits
