– Tell Me Why SUBBASE13
**Please read**
As a vinyl lover and buyer I want to make sure you are happy with what you are buying. I am listing below Discogs/Goldmine vinyl grading system. I will grade all records to this list.
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.
A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
Generally worth 50% of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
Generally worth 25% of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price.
Generally worth 10-15% of the Near Mint value. A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
From the 15th May, I will be putting up my entire collection of old skool records up for sale. There around 3000 of them from 89-94. I will list these every weekend Saturday or Sunday. Please note, I will be putting on a few hundred records every week if I can. I will be posting out every day so please bear with me if it takes a bit of time to post out but I plan to do this on a daily basis. There is everything from labels Moving Shadow, Reinforced, Whitehouse, Rabbit City, R&S, PMT, Suburban Base Etc. Etc. Etc. 1 to 20 plus ALL the rare ones/ bootlegs which are worth money- I'm coming hardcore, Empire records 1 etc etc. too many to list. Just assume it will be there. I have a lot of the house classics as well, Italian etc. as well going. NO Reserve! I will price these to go! No reserve, starting prices will be below discog valuations so its all up for grabs. I put 400 records on discogs (years ago)and they valued them at 12K back then, I have nearly 8 times that. I know I have to be realistic though. I don't want to let them go but needs must and no I'm not desperate. If somebody offered a s**t load of money for the lot I would be interested?? Please note! All records will be visually graded, they all should be VG+ or better, if they don't look it I will grad accordingly. They all played perfect for me when I used to Dj out. Happy bidding! All records will be posted out 2nd class signed for
**I am not selling anything that less the £10 so at the end (after everything else is sold) there will be lots of good labels and lesser known tunes up for grabs in bundles if anyone is interested.**
