YES, I WILL COMBINE POSTAGE WITHIN THE UK. NOTE THAT FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL ORDERS I GO THROUGH GSP THEY SET THE POSTAGE RATE SO CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY/BID AND THEY SEND THE INVOICE. DO NOT BID unless you are prepared to pay GSP s charges. Thank you.
All items I sell have been thoroughly checked and I list any fault found. But I do make mistakes. I am human.
The grading of all items closely follows similar criteria to that of my grading of vinyl records/cassettes/CD s. E.g. M MINT, NM NEAR MINT, EX EXCELLENT, VG VERY GOOD etc See grading below
I use the standard criteria for vinyl, insert and cover quality and I try to avoid for the best part any vinyl/CD s below that standard. I also try to err on the negative side when grading and many customers have commented as to how their records were better than expected.
GRADING
Records/CD s are graded to UK record collector standard and are as follows. A
plus or minus may be used to indicate that the record is just shy of
the next grading tier.
MINT M
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly, never been played, possibly even
still sealed. Will only be used if I can guarantee the record is unplayed.
NEAR MINT NM
COVER/INNER: Only the slightest of wear. There will be no bends, folds, seam
splits, cut outs, holes or similar defects.
VINYL: Again, only the slightest of wear for example a couple of ultra-light
sleeve removal scuffs. The playing surface will not have any marks or scratches
and the label will be bright and clean with only light spidering at the very
most.
SOUND: There should be almost no loss of audio quality, the only audible flaws
should be some light static in between tracks and occasionally in very quiet
passages. Overall will sound bright, crisp and clean.
EXCELLENT EX
COVER/INNER: There will be some light age-related wear this is normally in the
form of a few light creases around the spine and the beginning of some light
ring wear. The sleeve will be nice and solid with a fully legible
spine.
VINYL: The playing surface will have a couple of very light marks or scratches
that are superficial flaws and will not affect the sound quality. Labels will
be bright and clean but may have some light wear around the spindle
hole.
SOUND: Some slight loss of audio quality is to be expected with the occasional
light click no pops . Some light surface noise may be heard in the quietest
parts of the record.
VERY GOOD VG
COVER/INNER: Age related wear will be evident in the form of creases, upturned
corners shelf, edge and ring wear. Writing, cut outs, stickers and/or their
residue may also be present but not in conjunction with more than two of the
aforementioned age-related defects.
VINYL: Light scratches, marks and groove wear will start to be evident. Labels
may have writing, staining, stickers and/or their residue although not all of
these at the same time.
SOUND: A significant loss of audio quality will be present in the form of light
pops, clicks and surface noise however it will not be enough to overpower the
music and will still be a nice playable and listenable copy.
GOOD GD
COVER/INNER: The sleeve will start to be overwhelmed by flaws and may have some
or all of these seam splits, bends, folds, creases, stickers, residue,
writing, cut-outs and staining. Although it will be heavily worn the sleeve
will still be able to serve it s original purpose of holding the
record.
VINYL: I avoid SOUND: I avoid.
FAIR F
