My album auctions
I am selling my records to help pay for some essential house repairs. Grading records can be subjective, so I use the ‘Record Collector Magazine Grading Guide’ as my guide. I clean and inspect every record before grading it, and I play-check it too. I then do my best to describe the condition accurately and honestly and I provide pictures of the actual record. I also won’t sell a record I wouldn’t buy for myself. If you’d like further reassurance do please look at some of my feedback J

Condition
When describing the condition I use the ‘Record Collector Magazine Grading Guide’ and I play-check the album too. I also try to provide good quality large pictures of the album, so you can assess the condition for yourself. The pictures should speak for themselves.
Vinyl | Very Good
The album has been played a number of times and over the years has picked up a few light surface marks. However, these are only surface marks and entirely superficial. As far as I can tell from test-playing, there is no adverse affect on playback quality and no discernible deterioration in sound quality. It appears to be a good quality pressing too, with very little unwanted background noise. The only other thing to note is that the original owner did initial the disc labels.
Cover Sleeve | Excellent
The cover sleeve is in excellent condition for its age, with no major flaws. There is a little bit of wear to the corners and edges, a few 'spots' and age-related darkening, and a few of the usual small edge creases. That is about all.

Authenticity of this album (catalogue number and other identifiers)
This copy is identifiable as the 1972 UK first pressing because it bears the catalogue number SAPCOR 23, has the Garrod & Lofthouse made record sleeve, and the corresponding dead wax inscriptions.

Postage
I take care to package records properly in rigid cardboard, so they should arrive to you in the same condition they were sent.
UK postage for up to 7 discs is just £3.17. This is by Royal Mail Small Parcel, which is the cheapest option. If you would like another service e.g. signed and/or tracked please ask before paying and I will send you an adjusted eBay invoice. I only ever charge at cost with eBay’s 10% commission on top. I do not charge for packaging.
Worldwide postage for 1 album is just £6.00. This is by Royal Mail International Economy, which comes with £20.00 insurance against loss or damage. If you want a different service or if you buy more than one album please choose a postage option from the table below and send me a message. I will then send you an eBay invoice with the adjusted postage cost.
'Standard' delivery is a bit more expensive than economy but only takes 5-7 days for delivery. 'Tracked & Signed' is also 5-7 days but comes with £50.00 insurance instead of £20.00.
The postage rates below are the cheapest I can provide. I do not charge for packaging, only the actual postage cost plus eBay’s 10% commission on top.
