All discs have some sort of signs of having been used in the past but are clean, shiny and only have light markings like scuffs, hairlines etc. Unless otherwise stated below, none have scratches or marks that produce repeated clicks and/or jumps. All discs will be enclosed in a new anti-static inner sleeve when dispatched and will include any original housings indicated in the listing. Please study my scans of the covers etc.
.Grading systems are mostly meaningless, in my experience. There might be some crackle on play-in and out but the music itself will be clean and clear, unless otherwise stated.
PERFECTION IS RARE!
CONDITION
A lot of “Test Pressings” come with built-in technical flaws like “Heartbeats etc. Please take that into account when viewing. Thank you.
All discs are play tested and described as objectively as I can.
Please see images for general overview.
