*FULL RELEASE DETAILS CAN BE FOUND BELOW THE PHOTO GALLERY
CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY AUDIO: VERY GOOD(+); this has been play graded from start to finish and sounded great delivering a bright clear audio. A very crisp sound with no distortion at all. Only 5 or 6 light pops across the whole record. There is light background static noticeable in places (most apparent in 'You Shook Me') but this seemed mainly to be in the right channel only. Minimal 'real' crackle. Occasional light clicks here and there.
A very nice listen indeed overall. The record is already very clean, but it is possible that the static may be reduced if it was given the benefit of a professional clean.
VINYL VISUAL: VERY GOOD; the record is bright and clean and retains a nice shine. However, there are noticeable light scratches and marks. None of these had much affect on play at all though. Overall, it looks very nice and presentable.
LABELS: The labels both look fine with just some minor wear and marks. Both are clean with no tears, scuffs or writing.
SLEEVE: EX/EXCELLENT(-); the fully laminated sleeve is in great condition. The laminate is bright and clean with just a hint of virtually invisible ring wear to the front. Some light laminate creasing + a slightly larger crease to the top right hand corner of the front. Minor laminate blister towards the spine. No splits, tears or writing at all.
The 'pinched end' spine itself is in great condition with all text still clearly legible. Next to no wear to the opening edges which are still extremely straight. Overall, fantastic. There are plenty of photos below, please look.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

GRADING

Unless otherwise stated, all of my records have been play tested before listing using a Rega P3-24 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge & stylus. I describe honestly and accurately but please bear in mind that I am only human and such things are always subjective. I tend to grade records conservatively and believe that my feedback speaks for itself. 

 Please take confidence from the fact that I have been a collector myself for over 20 years (please check my feedback as a buyer) and know only too well how disappointing it is to receive an inaccurately described record.

I also grade visually using a strong halogen lamp.

I use the Record Collector grading system as shown below.

POSTAGE / SHIPPING

I post worldwide and pack all records in custom made (stiff) card mailers and add extra packaging inside to ensure a safe delivery. I will provide a protective polythene sleeve and the record and inner will be removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits in transit. I want your record to get to you in the condition that it was when it left me.

For any records that come with printed inner sleeves, I will also provide an additional plain inner.

As a general rule, shipping will be discounted ie. I lose money on the costs of buying my packaging. I do not profit from this; please remember that my costs are not simply those shown on the stamp!

Shipping rates quoted are valid up to a total sale value of £2500 within the UK and £500 for overseas buyers in the territories shown below:

Please send me a message if anything is unclear and I will be happy to help.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

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 the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

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.

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.

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.

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.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
