***I have recently acquired a large collection of collectable records in great condition; please keep checking my listings for additions. Due to the volume, I may not have time to play grade all of them as usual, but will happily do so on request. If a record hasn't been play graded, this will be clearly stated in the listing. Thanks for looking***
SPENCER DAVIS GROUP 'The Second Album'  UK MONO FIRST PRESS ON FONTANA; BLACK & SILVER LABELS; TL5295
FIRST PRESS 1L1 / 2L1 MATRIX
BEAUTIFUL FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION; INTERESTINGLY, THOUGH THE SLEEVE STATES 'AN ISLAND RECORD PRODUCTION' ON THE REAR, IT DOES NOT SHOW THE ISLAND LOGO
NEAR MINT AUDIO
HEAVYWEIGHT 152g VINYL 
*FULL RELEASE DETAILS CAN BE FOUND BELOW THE PHOTO GALLERY
A SUPERB LOOKING COPY WITH GREAT AUDIO
CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY AUDIO: NEAR MINT; this has been completely play graded from start to finish and both sides played through perfectly with a bright clear audio.  Very occasional ultra-light static and the odd very light dust click here and there (both of which could be heard on a brand new record anyway). No more than 2-3 pops across the whole record. Superb audio throughout; sounded fantastic.
I haven't cleaned the record, but no doubt the sound could even improve if given the benefit of a professional clean.
VINYL VISUAL: NEAR MINT; lovely shiny vinyl with a beautiful sheen that looks like it was pressed yesterday. Bright natural light showed up some superficial marks to side 2 which look like vinyl/pressing flaws to me. They are definitely not scuffs or scratches. My halogen lamp highlighted just very minimal wispy sleeve removal marks. Judging by the vinyl's appearance, the audio and the condition of the labels, I would guess that this record has not been played very often at all. Absolutely superb. 
LABELS: NM/MINT; superb; just the lightest of spindle tracing to side 2. 
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT; the front laminated sleeve is a fantastic example. The only blemish is one extremely light laminate crease to the front (top right corner). The spine is perfect. Absolutely superb.

***UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL ITEMS WITH A FINAL SALE VALUE IN EXCESS OF £46 MUST BE SENT VIA SPECIAL DELIVERY***

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.

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.
