Description
Due to the global pandemic Royal Mail have currently stopped some International delivery services. It looks like delivery to any country will be affected by delays, and this may last several weeks. Please be aware that this is out of my control. I can still process an order and pack it ready to be sent but may not be able to dispatch it depending on what they say at the Post Office. I will only use Royal Mail as I have always found them to be quick, affordable and reliable and will only post with tracked and signed delivery. I am keeping my 'for sale' items live and aim to add many new vinyls to it over the next few weeks. If you choose to buy any of my vinyls please be patient in regards to delivery during this difficult time. I will always post at the earliest opportunity and keep the buyer updated about the situation.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING
All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.
M (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 lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EX (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.
VG (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.
G (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.
F (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.
