An excellent copy of Jam & Spoon's first
Tripomatic Fairytales album (2002) released in 1993
The condition of the playing surfaces is excellent.
All four sides are beautifully glossy, dust and fingerprint free.
Side 1 has one very small, extremely superficial scuff.
Side 2 also has one very small, extremely superficial scuff.
Side 3 has 2 3-4 mm scratches that are about 2mm apart and run parallel
to each other, about a third of the way through 'Ancient Dream'.
I have play tested the track a few times and can't hear anything untoward.
They don't seem to have any affect on the play or sound quality at all.
Side 4 also has one very small, extremely superficial scuff.
The outer sleeve is in very good condition.
There is a tiny amount of ring wear near the top of both the front and back covers.
Corners are undamaged and nice and sharp.
The spine is in very good condition.
Unless otherwise stated every record was purchased by myself from new and only ever played
by myself on my own deck and with as expensive a cartridge as I could afford at the time.
When it comes to attributing a grading to each of my records I will confess I am not an expert.
And while both the Goldmine standard and The Record Collectors systems give us a number of agreed fundamentals
to help determine a grading for vinyl and its associated media, attributing a true and accurate grading to something as
individual as a pre-owned piece of Vinyl is unavoidably subjective.
One person's 'slight scuff' may be another's deal breaker.
With this in mind I will endeavour to describe as accurately as possible, in the descriptions of each listing,
not only what I feel to be a fair grading, but also an overall description of the record in question, along with details
of any and all marks, defects and anomalies I can see.
I am a firm believer in the maxim of - if you can feel it you can hear it.
So if there is anything that looks or feels like it may possibly affect a record's playing quality or sound clarity,
and therefore the pleasure derived from listening to it or its true value to a collector, I will give it one final spin
and make my findings known in the product description.
Over and above this I am happy to take returns.
I personally wouldn't bid on a pre-owned record without the option to return it if I felt that the seller hadn't been
totally truthful and transparent in their description of it, or that on receipt it didn't live up to my expectations.
And I do not expect you to do so either.
So please, feel free to bid with confidence.
I am a professional photographer by trade, and have gone to great lengths to light and photograph covers, inner sleeves
and the vinyl themselves in such a way as to show, as accurately as possible, the actual condition of all.
Rest assured that what you see is exactly what will be despatched to you if you are the successful winner of each listing.
Before photographing each record went through a three stage cleaning process:
1 - Removal of any surface dust with a light brushing over with a carbon fibre and velvet disc cleaning pad
2 - Deep cleaning with large (Big Fudge) velvet pad and cleaning solution
3 - A final brushing with a Pro-Ject carbon fibre record brush.
And finally, because Mr or Mrs Poasty may not handle your record with the same care and reverence that you or I would,
I will dispatch in a specialised corrugated cardboard record mailing outer, and if I feel even more protection is required
I will also include two extra sheets of 3mm corrugated cardboard for added safety and protection.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and for showing an interest
in giving a new home to one of my records.
I have other listings live right now and will be adding new ones on a regular basis,
so please do take a peak and stay tuned for more. I will combine postage, so please do ask.
