VINYL CONDITION NEAR MINT to MINT
Visually the vinyl is superbly flawless when viewed in normal light levels, full sunlight reveals nothing else. Clean clear grooves both sides, and no marks to affect the audio of this brilliant vinyl. Flat vinyl observed on my Michell turntable when rotating.
LABEL CONDITION EXCELLENT PLUS
Both labels are clean no writing, one faint spindle trace line on each label.
AUDIO GRADING NEAR MINT
Clean intros and Clean sounding audio throughout all tracks, brilliantly clear with the occasional brief but very faint static tics, but certainly no background noise, skips, jumps, sticks etc... The audio grading matches the visual grading of the vinyl Near Mint
SLEEVE CONDITION EXCELLENT PLUS
The textured 1st Press pinched corner sleeve is clean, no writing back or front. A 1st press sleeve that is susceptible to ring wear and staining, this example is to be found in superb condition spared of these issues. Spine is clearly readable, no storage wear to the bottom edge as it has been always stored carefully in plastic sleeve, and so I feel a grade of Excellent Plus for this albums sleeve.
INSERT CONDITION NEAR MINT
The insert is clean and crisp and crease free, and as it has looked from new so grades easily Near Mint
RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM
MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and extra items are in perfect condition. Records advertised sealed or un-played 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 suffers from folding scuffing
POSTAGE & PACKAGING:
I only use quality packing boxes with stiffeners, and all records are sent within new protective sleeves. Their cover and inner sleeve are packed separately, and stiffened as required to prevent crushing. Sealed within plastic sleeves to prevent moisture issues during shipping, every care is taken. Packaging thoughtfully and with the utmost care to ensure your record arrives with you safely.
