Reluctantly I have decided to continue to part with my Album collection mainly from the 60's/70's. Most have not been played for 35 years and most have been stored in plastic sleeves unless specified otherwise. Please look out for my future listings which will contain a number of collectables.

All items will besent via Royal Mail, Second Class in the UK (with proof of postage) with the exception of any items selling in excess of £30 in which case they will be sent Recorded Delivery. All items will be sent using sturdy vinyl mailers and packaging.

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.  The cover and extra items such as 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. 

VERYGOOD: 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, discoloration, etc.

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 useas a collection-filler.
