LISTING TITLE LINE [Repeated on line above] Shows / Artist / shop number / Title / [# = vinyl fault] [Status – U=used N=unused unsold shop stock that was new when stored in 1991 – both subject to condition codes] / [c=circa] Year made / NEW or General Condition Codes – defined below – one letter each for Vinyl A / B – Label A / B – Sleeve Front / Back / Format / Total number of tracks ( if 2+) / Label & Catalogue number / –[Inner sleeves graded as 7th & 8th additional letters on first line of description.]

Scans are of the actual item offered [or one that is 99% the same]. All items have been checked, cleaned, played & recorded to note timings and sound quality.

VINYL SOUND QUALITY CODES [at the end of track times above] – Please note vinyl sound quality is judged ONLY on what it sounds like – not what it looks like ! Vinyl may not be 100% central on spindle or 100% flat & may have light surface marks or even small pressing blemishes. Sound quality grading of individual tracks starts with the sound element of the General Condition Code as shown below – followed by a minus code to try to describe exactly what you can expect to hear. For example 'M' sounds near perfect [for the standard at the time of recording – see notes about reissues below]. The track volume covers the ever present background hiss and ticks of vinyl passing under stylus.
M-Q [M-QK] = low track volume does not cover background [or background volume click] on quiet part of track /-QFI /-QFO same for Fade-In / Fade-Out.
M-K = light click (within average track volume) on main part of track /-BK = big click – louder than track /-KK = 2 light clicks close together /-Kx2 = light click for 2 revolutions /-Kx4sec = light click each revolution for 4 seconds. Also RIK = Run-In click / RON = Run-Out Noise [noted if close to track] SFI = Start Fade-In / EFO = End Fade-Out / KLY = crackly.

GENERAL CONDITION CODES – AS IN LISTING TITLE LINE – Combine with Scan & Description above for fullest details of item condition.
NEW (no codes) = Item condition is Brand New – Top Grading.
M = MINT MINUS – vitrually unmarked vinyl – sounds near perfect [for the time of recording / manufacture]. One light click allowed per side before downgrading to 'X' Labels & Sleeve as new.
X = Excellent – vinyl probably sounds as good as the day it was made, but not quite perfect. Vinyl may have very light background noise & light surface marks. A light click is allowed per track before downgrading to 'V'. Labels & Sleeve nearly as new – sleeve will have impression marks of vinyl edge & friction [label] ring from years in storage. 'SS' = sleeve displayed in shop rack – graded 'XX' but with light spine creases & often a price sticker.
V = Very good – exactly that – somewhere between 'X' & 'G' 'N' vinyl / label / sleeve will have slight flaw / imperfection detailed in description above. Used vinyl will usually have more surface marks, background noise or slight deterioration in sound quality through use – labels & sleeve slightly damaged stickered or tagged.
G = Good – vinyl still plays well but backgound noise / surface marks and general wear and possibly distortion are obvious – labels & sleeve also show signs of being well used.
F = Fair [for the more genteel collector – apparently] – for the rest of you it's the word you first thought of & vinyl is offered purely as a Filler ! [Nasty looking & sounding but still plays]
D = Damaged label / sleeve. DR = Damaged Repaired / Reinforced sleeve – with glued plain paper strips.
CC = Card / LC = poly-Lined Card / PP = Paper – plain sleeve – white unless shown in scan – graded XX.
KJ = Inkjet sleeve – either a one sided chickaboom shop display sleeve or a scanned & printed copy of an unusable [or duplicate] original picture or company sleeve. Print is not waterproof & colours are weaker than the real thing – also original damage will show on copy of a one-off item – supplied for reference only.

PAYMENT – via Paypal please. For single item only choose postage and use checkout. DO NOT PAY IF BUYING MORE THAN ONE – ask or wait for invoice to save on P&P where possible. Any questions about items or P&P options please E-mail. Feedback appreciated and returned.
REISSUES general condition code refers to current vinyl – not the original source quality. Sound Quality code will have a second code or comment [in brackets] after the first if the quality of the source is less than it should be for the recording date. Some source material – especially for 1950's reissues into the pre-digital early 1980's were often dubbed from other records or sourced from raw and basic old recording tapes or acetates – not the digitally remastered quality available today.
PICTURE DISC & Foil Sandwich disc reproduction quality is not always as good as conventional solid vinyl. The thin clear outside layers usually have slightly more background crackle and any uneven content within the vinyl layers can cause light thumps – especially die cut internal shapes.
CHICK-A-BOOM shop price stickers were removable when they were stuck on 20-30 years ago, but will probably damage sleeve surface now. Other stickers were normally permanent.
