Condition:

Great/Excellent Condition

Description of item:

The cover sleeve is in great/excellent condition showing only minor signs of usage. There is minimal signs of edge wear and fraying at the corners, with a 5mm section at the lower bottom edge of the vinyl opening worn away. Additionally, there is a 3mm section worn away along the top edge of the vinyl above the W in the graphics. Otherwise, the vinyl cover is intact with no rips, tears or folds.

The inner sleeve likewise is in great condition, slight discolouration along one edge.

The vinyl is in excellent condition, showing minimal to light signs of usage, a few of light scuff marks and subtle scratches on both side 1 and 2. A few light spindle marks on the label. The sound quality is excellent, without any skips. There are of course snap crackles and pops, although nothing you wouldn’t expect of a vinyl this old.

Image Notes:

Please note that the images depicted show both the front and back of the vinyl, any inlays, inner sleeves and the vinyl sleeve. This is sold as a single item.  Image dates: 17/03/2020

Postage / Shipping:

A great deal of time and consideration has gone into collecting and preserving my vinyl collection over the last 25 years. As and when a record is sold on, the same care and attention will be adhered. It is important to me that whatever you buy arrives to you in the best of conditions as depicted in the images and as described in each case. I will make every effort to ensure that this happens. I will NOT just stick a stamp on it and hope for the best. All parcels will be securely dispatched, and in the event of high value items, appropriate postage covering the contents will be bought to ensure that they are insured should anything happen to them in transit.

All Vinyl is sent in specially made vinyl boxes, and when possible (space allowing), a reinforced stiffened cardboard backing and/or bubble wrap will be placed into each parcel box. Each box can safely accommodate a maximum of 2 vinyl records; (though I would not personally suggest this); it also depends on LP style and design i.e. gatefold, double vinyl etc. In the case of 3 or more vinyl purchases, extra P&P will be applied as required, subject to weight).

Unless originally sealed and in mint condition. All vinyl is removed from its sleeve and placed on the outside to prevent any sleeve damage whilst in transit.

P&P covers the cost of these boxes, materials plus the postage costs.

All 7” inch vinyl parcels are small enough to fit through the letter box. However, 12” inch vinyl will be sent as small / medium parcels (weight dependant). Again, a maximum of only 2 vinyl per box depending on type; gatefold etc; will be sent individually. Likewise, 3 or more purchases will incur extra P&P charges.  Most vinyl have a new protective plastic cover and where the vinyl is shown without its original cover sleeve, the vinyl will be sent in a protective plastic cover and plain white paper sleeve. Some of the vinyl I own is big holed, so 45 RPM adapters may need to be bought separately, or if I have them spare, I will provide one at no extra cost.

I am very happy to send items Worldwide, so please feel free to enquire regards postage pricing.

Likewise, very happy to take any questions regarding this item or any other listed item.

Cheers folks
