We grade all records visually, cover
first, then disc using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with and -.
We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot
check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. We
regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is
subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren t
happy with no questions asked.
Unlike some eBay sellers, we don t feel the need to hype records by
including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane
variations. We just grade accurately, describe any flaw, and sell only high quality rare records in fine condition.
