ALL RECORDS ARE TESTED ON MY TRUSTY AIWA TURNTABLE AND GOOD QUALITY JVC AMP . THIS DOES ONLY HAVE A STD BASS AND TREBLE CONTROL . I LIKE TO USE THIS AS IT PICKS UP EVEN THE VERY SLIGHTEST BIT OF NOISE SO I KNOW I CAN DESCRIBE EVERY LP CORRECTLY ETC . I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT PLAYED ON BETTER OR TOP QUALITY SYSTEMS WITH GREATER AND MORE TECHNICAL SOUND CONTROL ETC , THESE RECORDS WILL SOUND A LOT BETTER THAN I HAVE DESCRIBED . I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I OFTEN GIVE RECORDS ANOTHER QUICK PLAY ON THE FIRST COUPLE OF TRACKS ON MY PERSONAL TOP QUALITY PIONEER SYSTEM AND I DO FIND THAT MOST OF ANY NOISES LIKE CRACKLE ETC ARE MUCH MUCH QUIETER , SOME EVEN HARDLY SOUND AT ALL . I TEST EVERY RECORD AND FIND THAT MY AIWA WILL COVER MANY OTHER SIMILAR SET UPS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE , I DID WANT TO JUST POINT THIS OUT , THANK YOU .
Please note that i do tend to use " Very Good Condition " for most of my records , although none are heavily scratched etc and most will just have some general light surface marks only . The only exception to this is if the record does have scratches and lots of marks etc but is very rare and collectable and will be described in great detail . I never use " Mint " or " Near Mint " unless the record is unopened from it's original shrink wrap and is clearly unplayed . Even with these i am wary because if the record has been stored for years in maybe a damp garage or loft etc and has not been opened , then we can only presume it should be mint because we obviously can't actually see the record . Everyone obviously has their own opinions as to what is very good and excellent , but in my case , i tend to think that most , if not all records do have marks to some degree ( lots even from new ! ) purely because they are vinyl and mark easy and have been used over a considerable amount of time in most cases . This is why i use Very Good most of the times . This is also why i do go into great detail with my descriptions , as the term " Very Good " can be a bit vague . I do use " Excellent Condition " sometimes , but in my case , i would class this as not played very much at all , excellent shine and just a handful of the very lightest and small surface marks only , most only being visible under a light , so you know that when i use excellent , i really do mean excellent . Lots of my records as you can see by my feedback are better than described , more better than very good and closer to near ( if not ) excellent and i do pride myself on this fact , this is why i do use mainly " Very Good " but with very detailed descriptions also of which i will say i can go a little OTT with noise and general condition and can often make a record sound bad when it really isn't , i do just try my best to say how it is , but as i say please do check my feedback and you will see you can bid with confidence , thank you .

PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY BRIGHT PATCHES SEEN ON THE RECORD FACE IN THE PHOTOS ARE PURELY LIGHT REFLECTIONS AND ARE NOT MARKS ON THE ACTUAL RECORD ,  THANK YOU .
COVER: Laminated ( front and rear flipbacks only ) cover still in a strong very good overall condition and generally still nice and clean , it would have graded better , but for some heavier fraying and crease ( mostly laminate ) on one corner and some darker foxing / browning down the opening edge on the rear . 
FRONT FACE: Very nice and clean overall and the laminate is still nice and glossy . A few usual but small and light surface laminate crease / crack lines in places round the outer edges and a very few very light and small laminate bubble type lift spots on the left hand edge . There is a crease near the bottom right corner , this isn't too excessively heavy or overly large and actually is more of a heavier laminate crease , i have tried to show this in the fourth photo . A very few very light and very small general surface / age related marks in places . There are the usual but very light ringwear marks with just a very light impression of the outer edge of the record and a very light bit of usual rubbing in places .
TOP / BOTTOM MAIN EDGES: ( Not Including Corners And Right Next To Corners Please See Corner Description ) . TOP EDGE: No obvious signs of rub wear present , just a couple of tiny laminate cracks and a very few usual very light and very small dent spots in places . BOTTOM EDGE: Some mostly light rub wear present and a bit of light roughness on the laminate towards the bottom right corner , again there are two or three small and light laminate cracks in places and a very few light and small usual dent spots in places .
MAIN SPINE EDGE: ( Not Including Corners And Right Next To Corners Please See Corner Description ) . Very good overall . A very few ( two or three ) usual but light and small surface laminate cracks in places . There is a bit of mostly light denting present in places , mainly on the top edge of the spine and i think a small bit at the bottom with the surname and catalogue number is not quite flat etc , again , i have tried to show this in the photos . There is a very light bit of laminate feathering in places which can lightly be felt , again on the top edge of the spine , but this is very light only . All text is legible and still bold and bright . 
OPENING EDGES: Some usual fray / dent / useage wear and a couple of extremely tiny knicks on the outer edges on the front and rear , nothing too overly excessive at all and both sides are nice and close together , there are the usual bits of white showing down the very thin strip of bare card that is always left showing where the laminate ends short on the front , again anything really just consistent with age and general use . 
CORNERS: Some usual but mostly light and quite small bits of fray / dent wear on the corners , most being confined to on and just near to the tip ends , i say mostly because as mentioned earlier , there is some heavier fraying and feathering on the bottom right corner which has very very very slightly started to cause the edge to start splitting , but this is still just on the tip end , i have shown this in the photos . There are some usual extremely small and light bits of denting very near to the tips and a few tiny bits of usual laminate cracking on and just near to the tips , bar the heavier ( but not too overly excessive ) bit of fraying etc on the one corner though , anything is really just consistent with age and use etc .  
REAR: Still very good overall . A very few very light general surface marks in places and some general but mostly very light age related foxing / discolouration present , again i say mostly as there is some , as previously mentioned , some darker browning / foxing on and just near to the opening edge , i wouldn't say this is excessive , but obviously it is darker , i have shown this in the photos , but as i say , anything else is very light and just age related only , all text is still nice and bright and the rear is writing free . A very few usual surface laminate crease lines in places round the outer edges on the flipbacks and there are the usual grubby marks on the outer edges of the flipbacks where the laminate has ended short , but again nothing too excessive or overly grubby . There are very few signs of any usual ringwear marks present . Bar the darker bits of browning / foxing on the opening edge on the rear and the bit of heavier wear on the one corner , this cover really is still in a very nice and sturdy condition , i hope i haven't made it out to be bad in any way , i just like to be thorough with all my descriptions but can sometimes go a little OTT , hopefully you can see all in the photos using the zoom facility , but if you do have any questions , then please do just send me a message .
INNER SLEEVE: Printed EMI poly lined paper inner sleeve in very good overall condition . A very few light general surface / age related / handling marks and a couple of browning spot marks in places . There is some light browning present , being a little darker on and just near to the edges . The usual but generally quite light ringwear marks , but there is some quite heavy and often seen creasing mainly caused by the outer edge of the record on and near mostly the bottom corners and two or three other light bits of creasing in places . Some light normal useage wear on the top opening edges , mainly again just light creasing in places . I can't confirm if this is the original inner sleeve , but it is the type issued with classical records at this time period with printed names of many classical performers etc , it was also with the record when i got it . 
RECORD: The overall visual grade under normal average household light conditions is a very strong near excellent condition with just a very very few usual but very fine and small whispy hairline surface marks on both sides , virtually all of which are only visible under a light , there are no nasty deep gouges / nasty deep scratches etc whatsoever . Actually i think that most people would class this one as a lot closer to ( if not actually ) excellent overall , but i always prefer to under grade my records . It plays perfectly crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really , overall , very little unwanted noise at all and there is no prolonged crackle to be heard anywhere . S2 plays excellent overall with really just the very very occasional very very light isolated pop and four or five very very slightly louder ones around the half way point , but even these were still light only . S1 again mainly just has the odd very occasional isolated light pop though there was a brief only passage around the half way point which did give off three or four louder ticks ( not totally deafening ) and a very few more isolated light only pops in places around this point . As i say , none of the very light pops ( to be fair there weren't that many at all overall and bar the mentioned very few more in the one brief passage ) in my opinion spoiled any enjoyment , being just very occasional and very light only . Even the many very quiet ( often near silent ) passages played through perfectly ! and really any of the other very very few very light pops would be expected on older ( and even many newer ! ) vinyl records and i just class this as usual vinyl noise . As i say any other really very few odd isolated very light pops are each over very quickly and are certainly not totally constant throughout the record . There are obviously some usual and often slightly louder noises heard on the silent run ins/offs and silent track changeover lines ( if applicable ) . This record on the music really does play and sound great overall and the audio tones are still awesome . There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a great shine . Both labels are near excellent , very nice and clean , writing free , with just a very few usual but very light and small spindle marks on both labels . There really is very little to report on this one on the music , any of the very odd bits of noise on the music , bar those very very few odd louder mentioned ticks in the one very brief passage , were very light only and very occasional as i say and any being over very quick . Other than the mentioned , i really can't stress enough how good this one plays and sounds ! . All in all a very nice overall example of this now very collectable and rare item together with great overall sound , do turn this one up and enjoy ! . I have probably gone a little OTT on the condition and sound , this one still really is a very nice and great sounding example , i still think it would be up there with the better overall sounding examples out there today and now getting very hard to find in any decent condition . Thank you very much for your time and interest and happy bidding . Please do read the following ref post and packing and record gradings explained thank you . If you can , then please do take time to read the last section on postage as i explain the costs for this , which a lot of people may not realize , thank you again .
Near Excellent : The record shows some signs of having been played , but there is very little lessening in sound quality , odd usual light pops and occasional only louder ticks are acceptable . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
Postage prices shown are for the UK . All items are sent via Royal Mail 1st class std post , unless otherwise stated in the listing . Please note that any bids that exceed £20 GBP ( inclusive ) , will be sent via 1st class recorded in the UK and International signed for ( only 7" singles are available to post for Europe , no LP's outside the UK sorry ) in Europe , this is due to Royal Mail now only covering up to £20 on standard deliveries. Please be aware that the extra cost for this WILL be added on to the base rates that are shown if this is the case , thank you . Please do feel free to contact me for signed for extra charges prior to bidding . Please can you wait for my invoice before paying if i have to change the invoice to signed for , thank you . Please also note that I always obtain proper proof of postage when I post any items .
Please note, all records are packed in proper pro card mailers with a minimum of 3 stiffeners for LP’s and 2 for 7" singles ( more if i think they are needed ) . CD’s , Cassettes and DVD’s are sent in strong bubble wrap envelopes. These are also taped with brown parcel tape along all edges and seams for added protection.
Please note that whilst ALL my LP's and 12" singles are now vacuum cleaned on my Project pro cleaning machine , i do not yet own a record cleaning machine arm for 7" and 10" records , so whilst virtually all of my records are generally all clean and have a very nice shine , there obviously maybe some small traces of dust particles from cleaning manually if this is needed , though most , i do like to leave as they are , as i try to be very picky with the quality of records i sell ( unless stated otherwise ie very rare but some marks etc ) . If this is the case then i would always advise a pro clean on a machine with a 7" and 10" arm thank you .
Please note that whilst I haven’t increased my postage charges for a very long time now , this now other recent price increase , has seen me , unfortunately , have to put a slight increase on my overall charges . This is also topped with the rise in cost for quality card mailers , jiffy bags , stiffeners and Ebays new 10% extra fee for postage costs to all sellers , but I do obviously want to still remain competitive and still offer my usual top quality service . Please also note that I now send ALL LP’s with a minimum of 3 stiffeners on all none GF LP's and all 7" singles with a minimum of 2 stiffeners . I do not agree with making money out of postage from people who are good enough to buy an item from me and would never enter into this practice , as you can see by my charges on all my items , after all the fees and costs etc , i never make anything from it and wouldn't want to , in fact in the end , i actually lose money on postage . For a quick example , i now charge £4.25p ( as from 25/3/19 ) to post an LP 1st class in the UK , you can check on the stamp and see that i paid £3.55p ( also as from 25/3/19 new RM charges ) , now you may well be thinking , hang on why haven't i charged £3.55p to you , when i say i do not make any money from postage ? . The reason for this is , there are many other costs involved with postage for me . Ebay firstly will charge me 10% of the postage i charge , in this case 43p , take this off what i charge and that comes to £3.82p which leaves 27p over . I have just topped up my mailers and stiffeners and i paid £28.00p for 50 mailers and 100 stiffeners , i also have to buy extra stiffeners because i send my LP's out with at least 3 ( but quite often 4 ) stiffeners which also are not cheap , so as you can see 1 mailer and 2 stiffeners cost me 56p , add on the price of another 2 stiffeners ( max ) plus also take into account Paypals percentages , who now i have just noticed have started to take 20p per item that are sold on Ebay plus their usual charges which craftily they work out on the whole cost of the deal , including the postage ! and other things like petrol etc . I am sorry for having to explain this , but i just thought you would like to see that any extra has gone as soon as the deal is done , so you can clearly see , i do not make any money at all from postage , in fact it's clear to see , i actually lose money , i would estimate that i actually lose about 55p to 65p just on postage , i totally understand this is my problem and no one is bothered about this in the slightest , but i just wanted to point out these facts and show you how i am not one of the many people who actually charge more than this for postage and don't even send the record in a proper mailer etc , please do see my feedback on my packing etc , thank you again for your time in reading this .
