Thank you for looking at my records. Over the next few months I will be listing my collection of vinyl, mostly albums dating from the 70’s but also a lot of 12” singles from the 80’s and 90’s. Its quite an eclectic mix and should appeal to many tastes.

I have purchased specially made cardboard album transport “boxes” as used by the music industry so that your purchase arrives in one piece.

When grading the cover and the vinyl I have used the recommended “Record Collectors” system as detailed below. I have tried to be as honest and as accurate as possible in grading them and if anything, where there is any doubt I have possibly been a bit too harsh on myself but I would rather you were happy with the purchase rather than having to go through the returns process etc. But please bear in mind that these records are all pre-owned and some nearly 40 years old so they may well display the inevitable small signs of use etc. As you will appreciate unless a record is Mint it is going to have small surface scratches or even manufacturing flaws. If a record is badly scratched I will describe accordingly and this will be reflected in the price. As with books I think it is a crime to throw something away which may still appeal for its art work or certain tracks. You have probably noticed that an LP that appears to have no scratches in good daylight shows up several small scratches when viewed under bright electric light. In essence please do not expect a pristine “brand new” album, as the cover and the vinyl are pre-owned.               

Update; as of the 5th February 2019 I am unable to play test vinyl records, therefore the grading for the vinyl is visual only and not on sound quality. Hopefully I will be purchasing a new system in the near future!                                                                               

I am no expert at identifying First Pressing etc, etc as this can be a minefield! Unless I know for certain that a particular record is rare or first pressing I will give you all of the catalogue numbers, matrix numbers, label etc and let you decide if you want to bid.

As anyone who has tried to photograph vinyl records will know, it is an “art” in itself, and can be very frustrating. Flash, no flash, distortion versus clarity I have tried all angles and lighting to best capture the condition and presence of scratches or imperfections whilst attempting to display detail and / or any faults etc.

Please take the time to study the accompanying photographs as these are of the actual record and cover for sale and should be used in conjunction with the description.  If you require more photographs before deciding to bid please let me know and I will email to you.

With regards to postage and packaging I will post within the UK using the

Royal Mail’s Standard Small Parcel Second Class service for £3.70 and obtain proof of posting.

If you want extra peace of mind and online tracking you can choose the Royal Mail’s small parcel Second class signed for service for £4.70.

The costs cover the cost of the flat-pack record sleeves etc. I am not making any money out of the P&P whatsoever. If you buy more than one record I will combine postage and packing.

Alternatively you can also choose between:-

Royal Mail First Class Standard at £4.20       with proof of posting.

Royal Mail First Class Signed For at £5.20  

Either pick which delivery option you want at checkout or just let me know the choice you require and I will change on the invoice.

I am more than happy to combine postage and can post three single LP's in the same box for the price of one.  

The most economical P&P, especially if your package is up to 2 Kgs is Royal Mail 2nd Class Standard which is exactly the same price as a 1 Kg parcel and should be approximately six albums.

Sooo if you buy six albums the cheapest postage you pay will be £3.70 for all six.

If you want to delay payment and bid on another record that I am selling so that you can save on postage that’s fine just let me know or if you’ve already paid and then want another one please let me no and I can refund the postage to your PayPal account.

If you are unhappy with your purchase upon receipt, please in the first instance contact me so that we can arrange return and refund. I will accept returns for genuine reasons.

If International buyers are interested in bidding please contact me so that we can arrange a price that is fair to both of us.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries at all. As I said I will also be listing some really good and hard to find books and cassettes which I have enjoyed over the years along with the odd piece that we have both decided to let go.

Lastly, I will leave feedback for every purchase. Return feedback is not obligatory but it does let me know that you have received it and are happy with it.

 Happy bidding!

 

Record Collector’s Grading System – When listing records the cover condition is always listed first followed by the vinyl.

 

Please note: Until further notice the grading of the vinyl is only on visual appearance and not on sound quality.

MINT (M)                            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 Un-played should be Mint.

NEAR MINT (NM)            The record itself is not quite perfect to be classed as Mint, but, estimated to be better than Excellent.

                                                The cover and packaging although not Mint is considered to be better than Excellent.

EXCELLENT (E)                   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 (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.

Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G)                           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 and discolouration, etc.

FAIR (F)                                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 (P)                             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 (B)                                The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
