VINYL IN VG+ CONDITION

Following close inspection of the vinyl, there are some light surface marks/light scratches / light whispy fine hairlines visible - nothing serious - no deep scratches - Have checked vinyl under a bright light

I haved cleaned with Okki Nokki record cleaning machine prior to playback on Rega Planar 2 deck.

 

There were no skips, jumps, or sticks, but there was some periodic background surface noise/ clicks – more noticeable in between tracks & during quiet passages

Sound quality is excellent – no deterioration in sound quality

When the vinyl was played, the background noise did not overwhelm the music - nor ruin the listening experience.   Superb audio playback

Record labels are clean and the print is clearly visible. 

 

No writing on the record label

 

No sticky residue or discoloration.

 

Except for spidermarks & light minor spindle wear.

 

SLEEVE & INNER SLEEVE IN GOOD+/VG+ CONDITION

The sleeve is a bit grubby  from rubbing against dark print with some scuff marks &  staining/foxing plus some light creases + small split seam

name written on the rear

Sleeve inner has two small splits + small stain.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The above table is meant as a general guide for combined discount shipping, as some LPs (with heavy duty/gatefold sleeves + extras) weigh considerable more than others, which may mean that the total weight of the package will be more than the expected calculation and therefore will require an adjustment to the total P&P cost

If the total order is significantly above this amount, I will have to ask the buyer for pay for tracking/signed for, which will be an additional

£6.50/£9 (dependant on weight) for UK Special Delivery (£51+)

 

£5 for International Signed for (significant amount above £20 to £50)

 

£8 for International Signed for (significant amount above £50, subject to judgement call/general agreement)

GRADINGS ARE BASED ON RECORD COLLECTOR

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

I DO NOT SELL ANY VINYL GRADED LESS THAN VG, UNLESS IT IS ANYTHING THAT IS VERY RARE OR SPECIAL.
