Sleeve: There is some more moderate rubbing wear to the top corner tip at the spine. There is light, mild or very mild rubbing wear to the other three corner tips. There is some light, very mild or very minor rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges on a few areas. This hardly really notices. There is an 11 cm area of mild to more moderate hairline rubbing wear to the un-laminated thin part of the bottom edge. There are two tiny pin-head sized bits of rubbing wear on the top edge. There is mild or very mild laminate lifting at the spine area see photo . This is at the top third area on the rear sleeve only. There is a small thumb-tip sized stain on the track titles on the rear sleeve. The spine is in very nice condition. The spine text is completely legible. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor ringwear on some areas. Overall, Very Good condition.
Vinyl: There is a very mild 5 cm hairline surface mark on Side 2. This is not too noticeable under a strong light. There are two very light hairline surface paper sleeve rub marks on Side 2. These measure 2 cm and 4 cm respectively. These hardly really notice under a strong light. There is an extremely light 4 cm hairline paper sleeve rub mark on Side 2 too. This is barely visible under a strong light.
Otherwise, there are some light, mild, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. The original inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull paper surface marks on some areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. Side 1 is in Very Good condition. Not too far from being in Near Excellent condition. Side 2 is in Very Good condition. Overall, Very Good condition. The labels are in Very Near Excellent condition and show mild or very mild spindle wear only. The original company plain paper inner sleeve is in Very Good condition. It shows light, very mild or very minor ringwear creasing. There is a very small 1.5 cm seam split at the centre of one side only. There is mild to more moderate fading.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety it plays Very Good to Very Good overall. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor crackle noticeable in the quieter places. The crackle never overpowers the music. The music still shines through There are a few light or very mild intermittent clicks on End Of The Night on Side 2. These are very much in the background. There are a couple of very mild clicks, in two separate places, on The End on Side 2. Overall, a very serviceable audio copy

gt gt Grading Information All grading is very strict adheres to Record Collector specifications. However, I have fine tuned them they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light play tested on excellent quality audio equipment.
MINT Condition This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can barely be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Very minimal wear only.
EXCELLENT Condition An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can hardly be seen under strong light. There may be a very small minor hairline mark in some instances. Play, in most cases, will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear ringwear only.
NEAR EXCELLENT Condition This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent or better. There may be some light, mild or very mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
Very Good Condition Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light, mild or very mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use or - symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of Very Good is really not too far from being in Near Excellent condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in Good condition.
gt gt Postage Rates

AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Please note that these prices include packaging costs too
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs.
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl box/ mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7 Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders 3-6 LPs . All parcels will be marked Fragile and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.

I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP s .

I consider my postage packaging costs to be very transparent very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between 0.80 to 1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
