INTRODUCTION

 

I selected these records from my extensive collection and many of these are from my personal collection.  I buy and sell records as a hobby enterprise and enjoy listening to records therefore if you are unhappy with the condition will gladly accept returns.  However, I have tried to be consistent and fair in the grading used and have cleaned them meticulously on a Mark 1 Keith Monks RCM and played them on the best audio system I can afford.  If you have any questions, ideas or propositions please send me a message.

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
