This item is from my own record collection, and like many others has not been played for 30+ years and has just been gathering dust on shelves. Some degree of ‘shelf wear’ is to be expected but vinyl has been handled properly, that is to say, not handled, so is nearly always in excellent/near mint condition.

"If you don’t pay for quality, very rarely will you get quality."
All images are of the actual items, so you know exactly what you are bidding for. No ‘stock images’ here! Sleeves and labels (both sides) are fully and individually displayed so you can see any defects, or rather see that there are none.
Descriptions and gradings ('Goldmine' grading system) are as accurate and realistic as possible and are based on a thorough visual inspection, under bright light, and play-testing in certain cases. Each record is cleaned prior to dispatch.
My Starting Bid is calculated using a software-based algorithm which utilises Discogs (and similar sources) price data combined with the 'Goldmine' record grading system, and as such is realistic and accurately reflects the true value of the record. Not all records are equal! Not after 30-40 years anyway. I will de-list a record rather than sell it for less than it is worth
Postage discount: If you successfully bid for multiple items, message me to request an invoice. Postage (and packing) will be charged for a single item.
I often get messages from prospective buyers saying "but Discogs says it's only worth..." etc. Discogs is NOT a valuation site!. It's a useful guide, nothing more! The Lowest/Median/Highest amounts are not definitive valuations, they merely represent what people have paid for particular records through the site. Lowest represents the lowest amount paid for a record (e.g., £10.50), Highest represents the highest amount paid, (e.g., £50.00).
Median is the mid-point of all transactions, excluding the Highest and Lowest, when they are listed in ascending order. It is NOT the price that most people have paid, as some people seem to believe. The whole dataset could range between just above the Lowest figure to just below the Highest, i.e., £10.51 to £49.99. Half the transactions that fall within the range will be greater than the displayed Median 'value' (representing better quality), the other half will be lower and very likely lesser quality. So, not everyone who bought a record got a great quality record.
There is a link between condition and selling price. The better the quality, the higher the selling price. Here is a general guide.
Lowest value equates, in general terms, to lowest quality (vinyl may to be heavily scratched, sleeves likely to be heavily creased or torn).
Median (Average) equates to average quality (vinyl may have surface scratches, sleeves may have light creases).
Highest equates to highest quality (Excellent condition, no scratches and minimal wear on sleeves)
If you want good quality records, you should expect to pay somewhere between the Median and the Highest price, depending on the minimum level of quality you are prepared to tolerate.
