This was in my late Uncle’s collection. It is still in the original (open) shrink wrap.
The cover is NM
Bright and glossy with straight edges and spine. Really lovely. Still in original shrink with the PROMO sticker underneath.
The record grades visually as NM. A little dust and very superficial sleeve removal scratches to the surface. It looks unplayed.
Having played it through on both sides, I would grade the audio as EX, as it has some static crackle at the start of both sides. I think this will be fixed by a deep clean, but it needs mentioning.
The labels are both NM.
Just stunning! Even with a magnifying glass, I can’t see any signs of play.
A fantastic copy!
BLURB
I grade carefully and conservatively. I use RECORD COLLECTOR guidelines.
I accept returns. The return postage is paid by the buyer. If I’ve made a massive blunder, however, I will refund your P&P.
All my records are play tested. I may not be able to play all of them all the way through, but if there are surface scratches, I’ll ascertain if they sound or not.
I don’t clean my records prior to sending as everyone has their own methods and solution preferences.
POSTAGE & PACKING
I will always combine shipping for up to 3 albums.
I use proper mailers with stiffening boards. I’ve only ever had one negative feedback and that was from a serial-negative-feedback leaver. I’m a record lover and always take care.
If an album sells for £20 or more, I will only ship by SPECIAL DELIVERY. This is not because I don’t trust you, but because Royal Mail are prone to losing parcels.
I’ll gladly ship outside of the UK, but if an album sells for more than £10, I will only ship with insurance and tracking. There are no exceptions to this I’m afraid.
GRADING GUIDELINES
Near Mint (NM) - A nearly perfect record. Has more than likely been played few times or not at all, and the vinyl will show no imperfections during playback. Sleeve will have no more than the most minor defects. The same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
Excellent (EX) -The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Sleeve may have slight wear or creasing
Very Good (VG) - 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. Sleeve, normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable
