> This record is far from top-condition but is still a good record to have and to listen to. Especially considered its rarity. 

-     Record: there are several long fine lines, several hairlines and some small scuffs over the surface.


-     Label:  see photo's

CUSTOMS:

Inform yourself about custom fees in your country. 

If you are not in the EU then it is possible that you need to pay custom fees for importing goods from the EU. Also the UK is asking custom fees since Brexit. 


SHIPPING FEES

(Incl. Track & Trace)

The record will be shipped insured on my account. I never adjust the price of the record because of custom fees.  

With buying our records you are agreeing with the shipping fees as listed below:

When you want to know a shipping fee for a certain weight, or amount of records, or a certain country, please mail me. 

If you bought several items.

I will adjust the invoice to combined shipping fees after you finished your bidding. Please, wait for my invoice so you don't pay too many shipping fees. Wait for my invoice to have the correct shipping fee. The Ebay invoice system does not automatically fill in the correct postal costs for all countries. So, if your shipping fee doesn't look right, wait for my invoice.

GRADING

Please, read them!

 

When there are specific imperfections on a record I will mention them together with the grading. 


Mint

Record: the vinyl still looks shiny but has clearly been played, you can see some light scuffs or soft marks and/or some fine lines.

G                                  

Record: you can see many hairlines and small scuffs across the surface, the surface is no longer 100% shiny. 

Sound: sometimes a mild surface noise and/or some short patches of minor, sometimes, mediocre ticking with maybe a plop here or there. No loud crackle, no loud plops. The needle doesn't skip. Overall, the music is still dominating these imperfections.

Cover: there is some wear on corners, edges and/or spine. There can be some small splits (max 0,50 cm) next to the inlet. There is some surface-wear like ring-wear or maybe some discolorations.

Record: the surface is dull, there are lines, scuffs and/or swipes across the surface.

Sound: there is a moderate surface noise, throughout or intermittent, and/or some patches with serious ticks and/or plops. The record doesn't skip. Hear-play is infected in some zones, but the record is still fine for general listening, nothing more.

Cover: there is real wear on corners, edges and spine. There are splits in the seams, serious ring-wear, or surface-wear. Look at the photo to have a better idea of the condition.
