Tears for Fears - The Hurting LP 1983 MERC 811039 Ex/Ex
I am selling other LPs and a few 12" records. These are mainly New Wave/Punk, Rock, Pop and comedy - nearly all in Excellent or Near Excellent condition. Please keep checking for newly added items. 

I WILL COMBINE POSTAGE WHERE POSSIBLE IF YOU WIN MORE THAN ONE AUCTION - I CAN USUALLY POST UP TO 3LPs FOR THE SAME PRICE, DEPENDENT ON THE OVERALL WEIGHT. PLEASE MESSAGE ME FIRST AND I WILL SEND AN INVOICE WITH COMBINED POSTAGE. THANKS.

All records will be well packaged with additional cardboard stiffeners.

Please see photos for track listing and item condition. I try and apply the Record Collector Grading Guide (below) for my vinyl with  + & - where records or sleeves fall between grades. I play all vinyl before listing on my Pioneer PL-355 turntable (in case that means anything to anyone who knows more about these things!?)

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:

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.

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 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.

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