General Grading Definition:

All records have been visually graded unless otherwise stated.

Mint (M): A brand new record that has certainly never been played or is still factory sealed. Cover or box has no obvious defects;

Near Mint (NM): The highest grade for a used record. Almost no signs of being played, perhaps a spindle mark or barely noticeable light mark where record has been removed from the inner sleeve. Cover or box may have minor ring wear but no bends, creases or writing whatsoever;

Excellent (EX): Record has only a few light (non-sounding) marks and has been well preserved. There is very little lessening in sound quality. Cover or box has slightly more wear than NM;

Very Good (VG): 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. Cover or box may have a pronounced ring wear, seam splits, writing, discoloration and general wear or tear (Details are indicated in the descripion)

For buying a second record:

*Usually this means I can safely pack 4 or 5 records in 1 parcel which gives you a great combined postage saving. 

If you require insurance please contact me after the auction so that I can arrange and confirm cost.

Packaging:

All records will be professionally packed in a high quality record mailing box with cardboard mailers/ bubble wrap in between record and sleeve. The record will be removed from the outer sleeve and protected with bubble wrap to avoid damage. If you have any particular requirements for packaging please contact me.
