GRADING
Records are sourced from family collections and are closely inspected then cleaned and placed in a resealable PVC sleeve prior to despatch.
Conditions are graded according to the Record Collector / Discogs standards summarised as follows:

Vinyl
Mint - Perfect in every way. Certainly never been played. May still be sealed.
Nr Mint - Near perfect with no imperfections during playback. May never have been played.
Very Good Plus - Has obviously been played and handled carefully. Cosmetic defects not affecting playback.
Very Good - Has obviously been played frequently. Some surface noise. Light scratches maybe noticeable.
Good - Will play without skipping. Significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear.
Fair - Cracked, warped, plays with skips or repeats.

Sleeve
Mint - Perfect in every way. May still be sealed.
Nr Mint - Only minor defects. Evidence of handling but no creases, folds, splits, or similar defects.
Very Good Plus - Some slight wear. Slightly turned corners, or minor seam splits.
Very Good - May have some writing and sticker residue. Minor creases and signs of storage.
Good - May have seam splits, scuffing, stickers or writing.
Fair - Sleeve is badly damaged by wear or writing. Inner sleeve may be split or crinkled.

All records are pre-owned and in some cases may be 40/50 years old and although we do always try to err on the side of caution when describing condition there can and will be differences of opinion.
However, a detailed report as to the sound quality and sleeve condition can always be prepared on request.

Post & Packing
All records are posted in cardboard mailers with additional stiffening as and when required. Most records are posted 2nd class, sometimes with tracking if the value of the item warrants additional insurance. High value items are posted special delivery. For items posted overseas International Standard is used unless the value of item warrants additional insurance.
Multiple purchases may be posted together in one cardboard mailer or in several mailers taped together. Where postage is combined a revised invoice will be issued.

Please Note
Some records are from my own collection and have a small white index label attached to the TRHC of the reverse side of the album cover. The label has been in place for 40+ years and cannot be removed without causing damage.
