INTRODUCTION

 

I selected these records from my extensive collection and many of these are from my personal collection.  I also travelled to Romania to purchase the George Enesco Bach box and this is where non-UK origin records appear from.  I buy and sell records as a hobby and enjoy listening to records therefore if you are unhappy with the condition I will gladly accept returns.  However, I have tried to be consistent and fair in the grading used and have cleaned them meticulously and played them on the best audio system I can afford.  If you have any questions, ideas or propositions please send me a message.

 

GRADING

 

Vinyl play grade condition: NM- as coarsens as music climaxes, do not have another copy to compare it to so not sure whether it is from the mother

 

(MINT/MINT-/NM/NM-/EX+/VG)

 
Additional comments: N/A


Sleeve condition: NM-

 

(NM/NM-/EX+/VG/TATTY)

 

Matrix information: See Photo 3

 

I have invested in a professional A3 scanner that will allow the matrix numbers of the record to be read.  Therefore, please see attached photo for one side of album showing label and matrix.

 

LP GRADING DEFINITION

 

MINT = unplayed and still within original shrink wrap

MINT- = played 1 – 3 times only, as new

NM = first class copy that shows no major signs of wear, the odd click and pop, no more than several consecutive clicks/pops in a single section

NM- = a good second hand copy but either has signs of wear or audible multiple repeating ticks in one or more sections.  On the other hand it may just have additional surface sound or pressing flaws

EX+ = scratches that sound and in more than one area and/or excessive surface noise

VG = deep scratches and avoid playing on expensive cartridges
