Hello, welcome to my vinyl auction: PLEASE READ ALL NOTES AND DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE BIDDING – it's fairly lengthy but important to read. Thanks. This is my eleventh vinyl job-lot in the past year or two. I grade each record individually using the Discogs goldmine grading guide, which I’m sure a lot of you will be aware of. For those of you who aren’t, please see the guide at the end of this item description or visit How to Grade Items: Determine the Condition of Records on the Discogs website: I have been as accurate and transparent as possible in terms of grading - although I've sold records in the past, I’ve never been a professional seller as such. I haven’t always noted matrix numbers, run-out info, or specific editions. In most cases, I have stated the year, label, and region of pressing, and other details as far as I can tell, but not always whether it’s the first, second or third etc. issue.) Overall, I have tended to be conservative with the grading which in part has been visual - I have given it my best shot. Aside, I have bought a lot of vinyl online in the past couple of decades. As a buyer, I am very understanding of the seller, so, if I buy a VG+ record and it’s more VG, I don't make a song and dance out of it; stuff happens. This is not meant as a disclaimer, it is just how I like to do things.

Check my feedback for reassurance. Over two separate accounts, I first started buying, then selling on eBay, in October 2003. During that time, I have yet to receive any negative, or even neutral, feedback (Although, there's usually a first time for everything.)

Grading Guide: The first grade is for the media (the vinyl) and the second is for the sleeve. (E.g., VG VG+) Vinyl: There is likely to be scuffs, background noise, marks, light scratches, occasional clicks. However, there is nothing close to being jacked up or unplayable. LP Covers /Inner Sleeves: Sleeves may have seam splits, dings, corner bends, ring wear and the like, but any major flaw (should there be any) will be outlined in the description. Printed inner sleeves may have seam splits, fraying, rips, and bends. Age plays a huge part in the condition of a record. My vinyl listings are almost always comprised of 40+ year-old records, which is worth bearing in mind.

DISCOGS OVERALL Grading Guide: A plus or minus on the grading indicates ‘low end’ or ‘high end.’

Mint (M)

The item and container are absolutely perfect in every way. To qualify as Mint, the item must never have been played and is possibly still sealed. Mint should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Note that an item can be sealed and not Mint. If you suspect your record is in Mint condition, do not play it.

Near Mint (NM)

The item is nearly perfect. Near Mint (NM) media has more than likely never been played, and if it has, there will be no imperfections during playback. The item should show no obvious signs of wear. The cover or container can have very minor defects., but it should have no folds, seam splits, scratches, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Many dealers won’t give a grade higher than NM, implying (perhaps correctly) that no item is ever truly perfect.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

The item will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Any defects are of a cosmetic nature and do not affect the actual playback. In theory, a Very Good Plus (VG+) item should sound the same as a Near Mint (NM) one. Surfaces may show some signs of wear, such as slight scuffs or very light scratches, and slight warps that do not af

Very Good (VG)

The item’s defects will be more pronounced. 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. Wear will start to be noticeable, such as with light scratches on vinyl (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels, covers, and sleeves may be marred by writing or have tape, stickers, and residue attached. However, a VG item will not have all of these problems at the same time.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

An item in Good (G) or Good Plus (G+) condition can be played through without skipping, but it will have significant surface noise, scratches, crackling, or visible wear. A container, cover, or sleeve will have scratches or seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, or other defects will also be present.

Poor (P), Fair (F)

The item is cracked, badly warped, and won’t play through without skipping or repeating. The container or cover could be cracked, water-damaged, and heavily marred by wear or writing. If it is a vinyl record, the album covers and inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon. Poor (P) or Fair (F) records are generally worth very little.
