CONDITION (VINYL VISUAL / INNER SLEEVES / SLEEVE) EXCELLENT / EXCELLENT / EXCELLENT+ (This copy has only seen limited play.  I would be surprised if the first record had been played more than once and I would guess the second record has seen a couple of plays.  Like all my items these discs have been graded under an intense light and under an intense light limited, ultra-fine hairline marks are visible.  These marks are a by-product of the thin paper inner sleeve clinging to the record's surface during withdrawal.  Each record does feature one very light spindle drag.  These are not obtrusive.  These are great copies of these records and it is obvious that they have not seen heavy play.  The paper inner sleeves remain in solid condition considering how thin and flimsy they are.  The records have not broken through the inner sleeves which is rare.  There is a little creasing to the inner which houses the second record but otherwise, the records haven't left much of an impression on the inner sleeves.  Perhaps the most pronounced flaw on the inner sleeves is a little staining on both inners in the bottom corner.  There is no evidence of this staining anywhere else on the package which makes me suspicious it occurred during the manufacturing process.  The outer sleeve also remains in fine condition.  The only flaw is some damage to the title sticker on the front of the sleeve where someone has attempted to remove a pricing sticker.  Otherwise, the only other flaw is a little wear to some corners.  A really fine copy of this set!)

Other Details: N/A

Specific Note on Postage: I will remove the records and place them in paper sleeves to avoid damage to the original inner sleeves in transit.

GRADINGS – How I Grade

My items are visually graded under an intense light using my nearly 20 years of experience buying and playing records.  I am a record collector first and foremost.  I would say my grading is on the conservative side however, it is also realistic.  Realistic in the sense that sometimes even brand new records are not immaculate.  Some items are play-graded and where this is the case it will be noted in the Item Description.

GRADINGS - Description

MINT – If used to describe the condition of a record the item will be sealed.  Mint will rarely be used to describe the condition of a sleeve however, it will mean the item is sealed and no storage damage is evident.

NEAR MINT – When used to describe a record it will mean that it is hard to discern that the disc has been played.  When viewed under an intense light there might be the odd hairline mark however, you would really have to look hard for it.  Ultimately, the vinyl will look like it has just been made.  When used to describe a sleeve it will mean that the sleeve has no shelf-wear or storage damage.  The sleeve will look like new.

EXCELLENT+ - There will be an indication that the record has seen some play but not heavy play.  When viewed under an intense light only the tiniest, wispiest hairline markings will be present and not excessively so.  The vinyl will retain a great sheen.  A sleeve described as EX+ will display minimal shelf or storage wear including an odd crease or the stubbing of corners, slight fraying to the opening edge.  Ultimately, the sleeve will still be a superior example.

EXCELLENT – There might be an indication that the record has seen a reasonable amount of play and handling however, it has been well looked after.  Superficial surfaces scuffs may be present but no marks of real substance (i.e. which will affect playback).  Under an intense light it is likely that a relative volume of hairline marks are present.  A sleeve described as EX will display shelf or storage wear including creasing, loss of print (due to rubbing), possible stubbing of corners etc.  The sleeve will not display any substantial flaws.  Ultimately, it will be a solid copy.

VERY GOOD+ - I will rarely list vinyl for sale described as VG+.  Any vinyl listed as VG+ will have a detailed condition description included in the listing.  The description VG+ is more often used to describe sleeves.  Often VG+ describes the condition of a sleeve which was of very cheap manufacture (think 1970s EMI sleeves or Polydor late 60s/early 70s) and therefore more prone to display the vagaries of time.  A sleeve described as VG+ will not be a basket case.  It will likely display a reasonable volume of creasing, a reasonable amount of rubbing/stubbing and possible the odd substantial flaw.

PAYMENT - Terms

Payment is expected within 3 days of auction end.  I am relatively relaxed but if it is expected to take longer to make payment I expect the buyer to be proactive about maintaining a dialogue with me.  Payment is possible via PayPal and Personal Cheque.  Other forms of payment will be considered.

POSTAGE - Terms

I have had to bring my postage charges in line with Royal Mail Terms & Conditions effective April 2013.  This means items with a start price <=£20.00 and which complete with a price< =£20.00 will be sent via standard post.  Items with a start price >£20.00 will be advertised with insured & tracked postage.  Items which have a start price <=£20.00 but whose final price is >£20.00 will be subject to extra insured postage costs.  Multiple purchases will be consolidated usually at a reduced price to the buyer.  Please don’t make payment until you receive an invoice from me.  If you have special shipping requirements please don’t contact me after you’ve made payment with an extensive (expensive) list.  I would expect such requests to be made prior to payment.  Overseas buyers welcome!  If either domestic or overseas buyers want me to confirm postage charges then please contact me before the auction’s end.  Proof of Postage is always obtained and retained.
