listening as i list & the only visible blemish is a tiny scuff (see pic) and effects (no jump or skips) 60s or so of The Right Thing/3rd track on the A-side but this is LOVELY apart from that.  vinyl, sleeve & inner are all very nice. there's a bit of crackle in parts but again, there's no visible cause for it that i can see so it's either dust/dirt, my old stereo, or i'm just not looking closely enough.
& please check my feedback for some, well, feedback on my vinyl if you've any worries/doubts. as mentioned below in the c&p script i use, i've started to get some now & that kinda helps, esp as a newer account & with it being a load of vinyl i'm selling.

selling off some stuff to buy some other stuff. some in shorter listings than others (so double check if you're looking at multiple things at any point) good luck, happy bidding/buying & please feel free to check my other vinyl at https://www.discogs.com/user/algernonradish/collection to see if there's anything you'd want me to list soon, cos there's a long (just the 750 ish left) list for me to get through & something you see/like/want might be months away. and please keep in mind tons of oldskool records come from DJ's/DJ'ing (or just good old fashioned mixing at home with a set of decks) and most have been played a ton (unless you're lucky, or it's not a very good record...) so light surface marks/hairline scratches are gonna be common, unless the record is Mint or Near Mint. i've tended to undergrade vinyl so any record could be much better than i've said. i don't have an expert eye but using the (standard?) gradings below i think i'm usually ok with them. i also price on current market value, availability & Discogs, where you can find my collection (inc a TON of jungle) here - https://www.discogs.com/user/algernonradish/collection. feel free to have a look and if there's owt you want, let me know. i also only list records i've JUST listened to (see above), sometimes as i make a listing - bad ones never see the light of day tbh - and take photos highlighting any/all flaws that you see in the listing. DEFINITELY mention it if you are looking at more than one, cos i'm 100% flexible re p&p. i'm trying to use Royal Mail 2nd class (tracked &) signed-for atm but plan to get onto the eBay postage system asap (when i can afford a label printer etc). also, i'm using the tracking system cos of people who buy not letting you know they've got the item, either by feedback or the basic courtesy of a message. this has ended up with money being sat in PayPal for weeks at my end, all cos some lazy-arse can't be bothered to do the very least expected of someone on eBay. tracking ensures i not only know they got their stuff but also then frees up the money, which is sometimes needed slightly quicker than the 4wk fkn wait time... & i've listed tons of vinyl on here before so please feel free to check my feedback (user katakuritollah - i can message from there if you need me to prove it - it was an account i forgot details for, then remembered, hence me selling in two places atm) for the validity of my listing(s). as i said above, i'm a million miles from being an expert on this but i've honestly never had people complain or send stuff back, so... edit: i'm starting to get feedback re my vinyl on this account too so hopefully that's a pointer that i'm at least doing 'not bad' with my grades.

THE RULES OF GRADING NEAR MINT or NM: NM means almost mint. Virtually flawless, not perfect. A very minor scuff and very little else, the flaw should be very hard to see. If a scuff covers more than a few tracks yet can be seen, it will not be NM, however it may come very close. EXCELLENT or EX: An EX (or VG++) will allow minor scuffs which are visible but only slightly. There may be more than a few, so be careful not to call a record that has wear to more than 15% of the surface VG++. Wear should be minimal and of course should play mint! Any scratches that can be felt with your fingernail CANNOT be called scuffs. Scuffs lay on top of the grooves. If any break in the grooves are felt, they ARE scratches. Most often, they will be heard when played (soft clicks or loud pops). Once again, no scratches can make this grade. VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+: Will show wear, surface scuffs and some very light scratches. Flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. Sometimes under very bright light, you will see many tiny lines across the surface. Because there are more than 15% (yet less than 30%) of wear to the surface, it can make this grade. Scratches are not acceptable to a serious collector in any way. If you call a record 95% NM but note the record as having 1 track with a bad scratch, many will only consider it as VG (explained next). VERY GOOD or VG: The Very Good Grade does not mean Very good at all. At least not in the visual sense. A Very Good (VG) record will appear well played. More and more surface scuffs and scratches. GOOD or G (including the G+ and VG- grades): Well played, and possibly abused. However should still play. It will have deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some form of decency. FAIR, & POOR: The easiest way to define this is if does not meet the lowest grade above (GOOD).

i'd bet that, especially cos of the wording, half of these i'm listing could be Ex for condition too btw. a good cloth/glove & cleaner & plenty would come up NM imo. i just don't have the time or inclination to be doing any of that tbh. i'm also using a pair of 'inner' gloves to handle stuff & listening to everything on a 30yr old turntable off an Aiwa stack system... so it's not to say i'm mishandling them but the invested will get much more out of tons of this vinyl than i am. & forgot to say in first 10 or so listings, all this is from a former smoking environment while mixing somewhere & have also been sat in a loft for 15 years so they're not 'out of sleeve fresh'. regards, Paul. & feel free to check my other stuff inc on my other account (katakuritollah) yada yada etc
