Vinyl has been well looked after and still retains a decent sheen. Plays through with no skips, sticks or jumps and excellent audio on this classic acclaimed debut release from 1979! Some light hairlines under the lamp and some light surface marks but overall this one is solid and has survived very well with light wear. Labels are clean and complete with no stickers or writing and minimal spindle wear to the centres. Printed inner sleeve has no splits, stickers or writing and is in excellent shape with very light age related yellowing. Outer glossy sleeve has no splits, stickers or writing and a readable thin spine. Excellent shape with very light wear and faint age related wear to the white. Again this has survived well and is a great example. Please study the photos as the vinyl you see is the one you shall receive.

Vinyl still retains a good sheen and plays through with no skips, sticks or jumps and excellent audio throughout on this acclaimed second studio album from 1980. There is a few faint marks under the lamp and couple of visible surface which are not feel able. Otherwise this one is in solid original shape for its age returning great audio. Labels are clean and complete with no stickers or writing and minimal spindle wear to the centres. Printed inner sleeve has no splits and some light age related creasing. Outer front laminated sleeve has no splits, stickers or writing and a readable thin spine. Some laminate wear and some faint yellowing to the white otherwise in solid original shape and great for its age. Please study the photos as the vinyl you see is the one you shall receive.

…

All records are properly play tested through headphones unless otherwise stated or still sealed.. All vinyl is also inspected under a bright halogen lamp and carefully graded.. I use the standard U.K. record collector grading system appreciating that opinions differ.. I never add more than one + or - to my gradings and never grade a record as M unless it’s bought new by myself and still sealed. Even then an M graded record is extremely rare in anyone’s grading system.

…

Vinyl is graded first then outer / inner sleeves, posters inserts etc. Vinyl is always separated from sleeve in transit (Unless stated) Record will come in a polythene protective sleeve with a new anti static inner sleeve when the inner is printed or a new one is required (Unless stated) Posted with two record stiffeners in sturdy vinyl mailer (Unless stated) Vinyl is always posted signed for, insured with proof of postage also retained. Any international postage is also always signed for, tracked and with healthy insurance.

…

Vinyl can be combined (Unless stated or a job lot) Up to three thin spine or two wide spine per mailer. Spine size is generally stated in my listings to give buyers an idea of potential postage combining. I always provide new mailers / packing material etc. If you wish to combine postage please just drop me a mail stating your intentions thank you..

…

Payment is respectfully expected within three days of the auction ending.. Order may be cancelled and re listed otherwise..

…

Quick Pay = Quick Post

.. I’ve now changed postage from Second class signed for to Tracked 48 which is actually cheaper for the buyer and provides stronger insurance.. I provide new packing materials and don’t seek to make any money on postage..

ANY Problems at all please get in touch and just let me know.. IF You are unsatisfied in any way with your purchase please do not leave any feedback without contacting me first to resolve the issue.. I will always try to provide an honest description of all my vinyl and I am confident with my many years of experience that I always offer a good service... However I am only human and as stated early i appreciate that opinions differ so if you disagree with any of my gradings or policies please just get in touch and let me know.. Thank you

*All records are cleaned before dispatch as well as a full play test* (Unless otherwise stated)
