GRADING SYSTEM USED:

"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. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplaced 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.

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 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 use as a collection filler."

 I  TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ITEM DESCRIPTION IS AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE HOWEVER GRADING VINYL IS SUBJECTIVE. I GRADE ON THE BASIS THAT THERE WILL BE A DEGREE OF BACKGROUND NOISE AND THE OCCASIONAL POP, PARTICULARLY ON THE QUIET SECTIONS, BETWEEN TRACKS AND FADE INS/OUTS.SUCH NOISE WILL NOT MEAN A DEGRADING OF QUALITY RATING. THOSE WISHING TO HEAR THEIR MUSIC TOTALLY FREE OF SUCH THINGS PLEASE BUY THE DIGITALLY REMASTERED CD's AND NOT MY ALBUMS!

 I  GRADE THE ALBUMS BY LISTENING TO THEM ON A GOOD QUALITY SYSTEM. THOSE ALBUMS WHICH WILL ATTRACT LOW VALUE MAY BE VISUALLY GRADED AND STATED AS SUCH IN THE DESCRIPTION. PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO BID ON, YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK FOR AN ADDITIONAL PICTURE IF NEEDED, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

AS A PRIVATE SELLER I GENERALLY DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS, SHOULD THERE BE A PROBLEM PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST. IF IT AGREED TO RETURN PLEASE USE  THE PACKAGING IT WAS SENT IN, UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES A REFUND WILL BE MADE TO THE VALUE OF THE ITEM AND THE BUYER MUST PAY RETURN COSTS. PROVIDED THE ITEM IS RETURNED SAFELY IN THE EXACT CONDITION IN WHICH IT WAS SENT A REFUND WILL BE MADE ON RECIEPT. I WILL NOT EXTEND THIS TO VISUALLY GRADED ALBUMS WHICH SELL FOR £6.00 OR UNDER, OR TO ALBUMS AUDIBLY GRADED UNDER £15.00 I AM HOPING THAT WE WILL NEVER RESORT TO DOING THIS!
