Vinyl Surfaces EX (Looks and plays EX)

Audio Test with quality Audio Technica Deck and Studio Monitors    

EX Light background noise in gaps between tracks and a few clicks here and there but nothing major. 

Excellent pressing and great sound quality. 

No skips. 

Vinyl Labels EX

Some spindle wear but no major marks.

Outer Sleeve VG+

VG+ Would be graded 'NM' if not for some 'Waves' possibly caused by the sleeve being wet or damp at some point. 

There are virtually no marks, no rips, hardly any spine or edge wear. 

Original Casablanca Inner Sleeve EX

Original Casablanca Logo Inner with 'Sepia' colouring. 

Split has been carefully re-glued to prevent worsening but is hardly visible. 

Very rare to find this original inner sleeve. 

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, but to provide accurately graded, clean vinyl so you don't have to worry about  hit-and-miss chance of buying quality :)  

Shipping 

• Usually within 2 Days, sometimes a bit longer if I'm very busy (Part time sole trader) Please ignore the stated 10 days, this is to avoid eBay late shipment penalties which lower my performance level and impact the prices and service I can provide to buyers. 

• Well packaged in appropriate protective packaging

• Vinyl removed from inner and securely packed during shipping to prevent splits 

• Combined shipping always - please ask 

• l don't make money on shipping but eBay and PayPal do charge full fees on shipping costs so I have to factor this in ????
