All records are graded to the Record Collector Guidelines, and all photos above are of the exact record you will receive.

This boxset consists of 6 lps which all appear in excellent condition with only a few visual issues which I will do my best to outline in the listing.

Firstly all 6 lps have been professionally clean and dried correctly. I haven't however listened to all 6 of them because as you can imagine this would take a considerable amount of time; time which at this time of year I just cant spare!

This is unusual for me as every other record I have listed has been play tested in its entirety to ensure accurate grading. However with these 6 lps I am just going to visually grade them, play them briefly to ensure there is no warping and highlight anything I notice along side the appropriate lp.

So the lps are as follows:

Record 1: Grades as : EX

This has a few very light spindle marks but nothing remotely sinister on the vinyl. There are a couple of extremely minor lines just visible and one tiny 2mm mark in track 1. It lays flat with no warping and has a vivid gloss. I checked the lines and the tiny mark and the small mark causes a few light clicks in track 1. These are minor however and soon pass leaving good quality audio throughout.

Record 2: Grades as : VG+

This has barely any spindle marks visible, lays flat and has a vivid gloss. There is no scratches of any note but there is a series of non-feelable brown blemishes. These are pictured above and show on both sides of the lp. I did check these to see if they caused interference and some do some don't. There is the occasional light tick audible but nothing drastic. The majority are completely inaudible but due to noticing a few ticks and the visual appearance I have graded fairly low for this lp. Despite this the majority of the lp plays great.

Record 3: Grades as : NrM

This has next to no spindle marks showing, a vivid gloss and no scratches of any note. It lays flat and looks as if it has barely been played.

Record 4: Grades as : EX+

This again has barely a spindle mark showing, a vivid gloss and no scratches of any note. It has a tiny amount of movement in the record arm but this minor and nothing to worry about. I have graded conservatively at EX+ due to this however.

Record 5: Grades as : EX+

Again barely a spindle mark showing, a vivid gloss, no scratches of any note and looks as if it has barely been played. It does however have a tiny 'bob' in the record arm. This is minor however has no affect on playback but I have graded lower than NrM due to this.

Record 6: Grades as EX+

This has one incredibly light line on one side but this is incredibly soft and minor. It lays flat and has a vivid gloss.

So as you can see the boxset is in great shape with only the blemishes/spots on record 2 being anything of any note. The boxset has obviously been used sparingly and despite these spot blemishes and few minor clicks in track 1 I am confident with a grading of EX+ overall.

The box itself is in near mint condition. It has next to no wear to the edges and no scuffs or pen marks anywhere. It is clean, bright, strong all round and no fading. Other than a couple of small yellow spots on the inside there is next to nothing to report and it is near perfect.

It also includes its 6 original inners, all of which are in ex+ condition with no splits, tears or pen marks and only a minimal amount of creasing.

Its original info insert/booklet is also included and in ex+ condition with next to no wear or major signs of use.

So overall a quality boxset with a vast amount of Christmas classics. It is in excellent condition, looks barely played and despite not play testing each record I am more than confident with the grading as the records are just so clean.

The boxset will be packaged well and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent within 24hrs of receiving payment to try and ensure a swift delivery.

I hope my photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me. Also please check my Ebay feedback for a positive history of record grading, A1 communication and quick delivery times.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking and Happy Christmas!
