ABOUT THIS RECORD

This record comes from the collection of the late Michael de Koningh - reggae historian, regular contributor to Record Collector magazine, and co-author of “Young, Gifted and Black - The Story of Trojan Records” and “Tighten Up - The History of Reggae in the UK”.

*** GRADING ***

I grade visually under a daylight lamp so my grading may be harsher than some and I listen to samples of the record through headphones, picking up light background crackles that may not be obvious through speakers. I use an excellent vintage DJ turntable and stylus and a slight weight on the arm.

My gradings are from M-Mint to G-Good. I rarely grade M unless the item is sealed.

***POSTAGE AND PACKING***

Please pay within 3 days of the end of the auction or let me know if you are bidding on another item.

I aim to send your item to you within 3 working days of payment. Sometimes circumstances prevent this, but I will try to let you know.

I use Signed For or International Tracked and Signed. I supplement the cost of most International postage and I don’t charge for packaging. I don’t send items without tracking.

I will combine postage for multiple items - just request an invoice and I will alter the postage costs for you.

I use professional packaging and board stiffeners for protection. I separate disc from cover for LPs/picture sleeves. I tape your item up well to avoid split seams on packaging so please open your package with extreme care.

*** RETURNS ***

Please do read the full description, including grading notes. If I have missed anything or not accurately described an item, please do get in touch with me.

I do not do partial refunds for new customers. I offer a full refund after discussion and upon return of the item, if unhappy.

***CUSTOMS CHARGES***

I have to enter the value of the item when buying postage, for tracking and insurance purposes. This value automatically transfers to the customs declaration. Please consider customs charges prior to bidding.

***THANKYOU***
