I have been very fortunate to come across a STUNNING collection of MIKE OLDFIELD vinyl.

All have been stored in plastic sleeves from new, most look like they came from the shop yesterday!

On initial inspection I have not found ANY marks on ANY of the vinyl, see listing details below. 

In the event of multiple purchases, I am happy to delay posting until auctions have finished. I will post in the UK at COST including the mailer or box. I will send an invoice.

 

CLEANING: I intend to wet clean these using an alcohol/distilled water mix with cotton velvet cloth, then dried with microfibre cloth and placed into a new poly lined inner sleeve. Please let me know if you do not wish me to clean.

Please Check out my !

 

I use the Record Collector gradings (See box at bottom).

M

Mint

Must be in perfect condition with no audible or visible defects whatsoever. The record and cover/sleeve should be exactly as brand new.

NM

Near Mint

Almost mint but has one or two minor visible marks on the cover/sleeve or surface with sound quality remaining perfect.

EX

Excellent

Not quite perfect. There may a slight chance of minor deterioration in sound quality. The cover/sleeve may show slight wear.

VG

Very Good

The surface and cover/sleeve shows visible signs of wear due to the fact that it has been played on a regular basis. There will be some audible surface noise but it will not effect the listening experience.

G

Good

The sound quality has deteriorated due to having been played often. The cover/sleeve and surface will show considerable signs of wear and tear with some possible damage.

F

Fair

Has been neglected, but is still playable. There will be major audible defects such as loud clicks or jumping. The cover/sleeve maybe badly damaged.

P

Poor

Technically playable, but with seriousdeterioration in condition and sound quality. The cover/sleeve will be badly damaged.

VP

Very Poor

In terrible condition and absolutely unplayable. Would only be of use as a last resort to complete a collection.
