SEE MY FEEDBACK AND BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

I have included the maximum of 12 high quality photos, taken from a variety of angles, and including the cover, inner and labels, so you can properly judge the detailed condition of the record for yourself. My own gradings are based on the standard record collector guidelines (see below).

In the unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase I will give a full refund (minus return postage) if the record is returned to me in the same condition within 14 days. Please email me immediately to resolve any problems - I have 100% feedback and I would like to keep it that way.

The record will be sent in a new dedicated mailer with two additional thick card inserts, and the vinyl will be separated from the sleeve to prevent any ring marks.

Thanks for looking, and Happy Bidding!

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide

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