Vinyl has been well looked after and still retains a nice sheen, plays through perfectly with no skips, sticks or jumps and excellent audio / production throughout on this absolute classic 2 Tone compilation packed full of 16 classic tracks. Visually the vinyl is quite a stunner with a couple of faint hairlines under the lamp and one of two minimal surface, really in nice original shape. Labels are clean and complete with no stickers or writing and no spindle wear to the centres. Home taping vintage inner sleeve has no splits and just light age related wear. Outer front laminated flip back sleeve has no splits, stickers or writing and a readable thin spine. Some wear to the company sticker otherwise the sleeve is in excellent shape and has survived really well. Large folder is a cracker and just has the fold lines, has never been on a wall and has no blu tack or pin marks. Please study the pictures as the items you see are the ones you shall receive.

All records are properly play tested through headphones unless otherwise stated or still sealed.. All vinyl is also inspected under a bright halogen lamp and carefully graded.. I use the standard U.K. record collector grading system appreciating that opinions differ.. I never add more than one + or - to my gradings and never grade a record as M unless it’s bought new by myself and still sealed. Even then an M graded record is extremely rare in anyone’s grading system.

…

Vinyl is graded first then outer / inner sleeves, posters inserts etc. Vinyl is always separated from sleeve in transit (Unless stated) Record will come in a polythene protective sleeve with a new anti static inner sleeve when the inner is printed or a new one is required (Unless stated) Posted with two record stiffeners in sturdy vinyl mailer (Unless stated) Vinyl is always posted signed for, insured with proof of postage also retained. Any international postage is also always signed for, tracked and with healthy insurance.

Spine size is generally stated in my listings to give buyers an idea of potential postage combining. I always provide new mailers / packing material etc. If you wish to combine postage please just drop me a mail stating your intentions thank you..
