GRADING is strict and conservative, and records are guaranteed to be as described. Most LPs are play-graded. Visible marks are checked for audibility. Scuffs and scratches are checked. Grading is influenced accordingly. Nevertheless, mistakes happen and defects can occasionally be overlooked or be too small to detect. Many records are cleaned before the auction, but cleaning is strongly advised after purchase. If the records are not in the condition described a refund will be provided. If my grading was seriously mistaken, I will refund the cost of shipping. If the records are seriously damaged in shipping, for example cracked or badly warped, please send photos; I WILL NOT KNOWINGLY SHIP RECORDS IN THESE KINDS OF CONDITIONS!

THE SHIPPING COST STATED NEAR THE PHOTO IS INCORRECT
