Runout Grooves is run by collectors for collectors, so we know exactly what you want to see in a listing. We have over 20 years experience of selling music (both online and in record shops) so we aim to give you as much information as you could possibly hope for to enable you to decide if the items that we have for sale are exactly the ones that you are looking for. We will have lots of high-resolution photos (showing you the best bits as well as any defects) plus detailed descriptions of condition, matrix numbers, pressing information - and, most importantly of all, a professional and conservative grading of sleeve and disc. You can bid with confidence!

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS IMPORTANT NOTE ON GRADING:
We use the Record Collector grading system which grades records from Mint to Poor. We always aim to grade conservatively and fairly. However, we recognise that grading can be subjective and one man's EX can be another man's Good, so please contact us if you would like to clarify any issues with condition. Please note that (unlike other sellers) we will only grade records as Mint or Near Mint if we can be certain that they have never been played. If they have been used, then our highest grading will be EX. If you are looking for a mint copy then please remember that records graded as VG or Good will have signs of use and/or marks on them, and will probably have some surface noise. We don't want to cause any disappointment, but we have found that some buyers have unrealistic expectations of records graded as VG or below. If you are unsure on any of this then please contact us, and we will be happy to give you as much information on the condition of this record as you require.
UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CAN SEND UP TO 6 LPs OR 12"s FOR THE SAME PRICE AS ONE - JUST £4.00!
