Vinyl Condition - Very Good+ - The records are both very bright and clean and while a number of light surface marks are present, there are no worrying scratches. Having listened to both sides, I can confirm that there is no jumping or sticking but expect to hear the odd click. A degree of background crackle will also be heard at times, most noticeably during quieter moments, intros/outros etc. Not really an issue during louder tracks of course and I suspect that the grooves will improve with a little more attention beyond my cursory clean.

Cover/Sleeve Condition - Excellent- - Original gatefold outer cover, which has light signs of wear, most noticeably in the form of corner rubbing and partly along the spine strip. Partial disc impression to the front panel. Illustrated inner sleeves are comparable if not slightly better.

It is not my intention to profit from postage. If possible I use good clean recyclable material but I also buy bubble wrap, brown paper, packing tape and glue and all items are well wrapped and protected before posting. Items are also weighed and postage calculated before I list at auction and a small percentage of the charge does go towards packing costs.

I will accept returns on any item which is not as described and refund all costs upon safe receipt.

See "Me" for further general despatch information.
