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 a

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.

GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times,

but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable

surface marks and an occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on

the cover and contents 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 edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays

considerable noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be

torn, stained and / or defaced.

stiffener. I use Heavy Duty Mailers Specifically Designed for Vinyl

Albums, which provide excellent security and protection, and I use the

appropriate 'Fragile' stickers. Packing

or separately. However, if you are a similar time multiple buyer where

all items purchased are being sent to the same address and they can be

combined safely, you can ask for a discounted quotation before bidding. I

will always try to be fair with buyers on p&p costs but if you do

not want to pay the prices on the listings or quotations please do not
