All records are packed securely!  I post to the EU, outsiders, please mail for quote.

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 Un-played 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
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated,  perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,  scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise;  it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.  The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
