Hi, and welcome to my listing.
Over the coming weeks and months there will be many highly sought-after albums/singles being listed, including some titles which are so rare that I haven’t been able to find other copies anywhere else. Many items, drawn from a specialist private collection, can be sure to appeal to the more refined collectors – as it is my intent to offer the more refreshing and distinguished titles as much as possible. In addition, it is probably worth noting that I will be offering many of these items at a very competitive – in most circumstances unrivalled – price points for their grade. Fairness is of great importance to me. In light of all of this, I invite anybody interested in vinyl to ‘see [my] other items’, as I’m confident there will be something of interest for everyone. Enjoy!
Grading
(According to the ‘Rare Record Collectors’ Guide’s Criteria/ My personal audio setup)
Cover: VG The cover is very presentable and free from any splits, tears etc. Some writing on the bottom left. Creasing in parts of the laminate. Overall, i would say it is a good example of what is to start with a very delicate cover. Please see photos yourself.
Vinyl (Visually): G+ Under exposing light, the surface has many (mainly superficial) scuffs, sleeve removal marks etc. Visual flaws but not all necessarily anything more than cosmetic.
Playback (if applicable): VG+ Played entirely (On my turntable) Strong performance with no skips, jumps etc. Very low and easy-to-tolerate static. A very enjoyable listen. Much better than how it looks.
Additional comments: This 'Regal Zonophone' pressing is often regarded as the most desired/rarest of all the pressings this fantastic alnum was ever released on. Therefore, this makes for a great addition to anyone's collection.
As a gesture of good faith, I have play tested all of my items over £20 (entirely) so that you can grasp a firm and transparent understanding of the performance - please see above for this. This will, in alignment with convention, go alongside a meticulous visual grading (of which I aim to be as fair and accurate as possible). As shown, detailed photos of the item are provided, allowing you to view it with great clarity: please feel free to inspect it for yourself. For the purposes of certainty, I will complement the photos with a supplementary description. As a bonus (for all my items), I ensure the item is packed in a strong purpose-built mailer, with stiffeners and bubble wrap. I will also clean the vinyl, attempt to remove any present static and place it and the sleeve in a protective cover (as further reinforcement to the packaging). I do not, unlike most other people, charge for such extras – and so postage remains at its lowest cost for the chosen delivery! I am happy to answer any additional questions about the item, if there is something i've missed.
All items (to UK) above £15 will be 'signed for', for seller & buyer protection. Again, I will happily absorb this cost!
Thank You.
