Vinyl Surfaces EX (Visual EX- Play EX+) 

Audio Test: EX+  (Audio-Technica deck and Studio headphones) 

• Light background noise in gaps between tracks and a few clicks here and there but nothing major. 
• Excellent pressing and great sound quality. 
• Fantastic Analogue Mastering - hear it exactly as it was meant to be! 

Visual grading under Very Bright spotlights: EX- 

• Excellent sheen
• Small number of light hairlines and a few larger 'ring' marks that  don't affect play - I've tried to show these in the pics. 
• No deep scratches. 

Visual Grading in Bright Daylight  Looks EX+ 

Labels  EX

• Both labels excellent  

• No mould, scratches or marks. 

• Colours and printed text all perfect 

• Small amount of wear on spindle holes 

Outer Sleeve EX

• Front and back covers great, no major marks, no major creases, no rips. 
• Light to moderate edge wear and some hairline creases from the edges and spine  
• Spine has a little wear, but all writing is intact and clear. 
• Small tape repair on top edge to stop a ding getting any worse. 
• Cover carefully cleaned and placed in PVC Sleeve. 

Original White DRG Made In England Inner Sleeve  EX 

• Rare original sleeve with EMI print and writing

• No splits

• Slide colour fading but not much and very collectible. 

• Black Anti-static sleeve also provided. 

Vinyl Care/Preparation

• I hand-clean every vinyl listed using L'Art Du Son cleaning solution. This removes old grease, dust etc. to improve the playback quality. This does sometimes leave residue marks, but these don't affect play. I use a top quality goat-hair brush, vacuum off the fluid, then dry and buff with soft cloths. 
• The vinyl then goes into an anti-static sleeve, supplied with the Vinyl you buy. 
• I also carefully clean and dry the Vinyl outer sleeves to remove old finger marks, dirt and dust. Once done the sleeves are placed into a PVC sleeve to keep them nice and clean, they are shipped with the plastic sleeve. 
• Vinyls are then listened to end-to-end before grading, in order to give a full, honest grading. BEWARE VISUAL-ONLY GRADINGS :) ...some Vinyls that look Near Mint to the eye have skips, others that look marked play near-perfectly. I've learned that you can't grade a Vinyl without listening to it :) 
• Finally, I take lots of pics and rip the Vinyl to WAV so buyers can either hear in advance, and/or have an accompanying digital download of the Vinyl. 
• All of the above is done to help buyers be sure of what they are getting before they spend hard-earned money and to provide a good service.  
• For this reason, I'm not aiming to be the cheapest on eBay. Sensible offers considered but please don't expect me to give stuff away or match auctions with no grading, no cleaning and hit-and-miss chance of buying quality :)
