This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.
I have been collecting and selling vinyl for many years. Every record is visually inspected and described honestly and accurately. All the records I sell are from my personal collection.
Please note that records are not play-graded unless stated, and I never offer records that are graded lower than very good.
Also, please be aware that I never state that a record is 'Mint' unless it has been boarded or there is absolutely no doubt.
I use the Record Collector Magazine's grading system (please see below for details).
If you do not agree with my grading then please contact me by email so that we can sort out any problems you might have. We can all make mistakes, and sometimes the exact same record might be graded differently by different people. For your peace of mind, I offer a fourteen day returns policy (buyer to pay return postage).
All records will be sent using specialist packaging materials (not cheap cardboard envelopes). The vinyl will be removed from the sleeve to prevent damage in transit.
Proof Of Postage Is Always Retained.

I have 100% feedback, so please bid, buy, with confidence.
Payment by Pay Pal only.
Grading system:
Mint: 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.
· Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of 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 badly damaged or partly missing.
· 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.
+/- may be used for records that fall between categories.
