This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.
Records will be placed within a strong card record mailer with at least one stiffening card for extra protection. This, along with the Royal Mail system of block pricing for small parcels, is the reason for the price of my shipping cost for one item, but I will discount shipping for more than one record. Wait for me to issue a combined invoice showing the reduction before paying.
I grade as per the RECORD COLLECTOR'S GUIDE (Sleeve / Disc)
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
"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.
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."
