Item Description
Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don t miss out.
My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950 s to early 2000 s, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.
You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.

Both sides have some light scratches and whispy marks and a couple of patches of light groove marking and some extremely light sleeve removal marks under strong artifical light.

I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read.
I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light.
PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that s part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD s or MP3 s? THE RECORD IS VISUALLY DESCRIBED/GRADED, IF YOU BID YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE PURCHASING THE RECORD BASED SOLELY ON THIS NOT HOW IT MAY PLAY.
ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY DESCRIBED AND GRADED unless it says otherwise.
IF YOU DECIDE TO BID YOU ARE BIDDING ON THE VISUAL DESCRIPTION NOT ON HOW IT MAY PLAY, Even the most visually stunning record can have background noise, if you want perfect audio then please find another copy with audio gradings.

Any questions...please ask.
