Sleeve: There is a tiny hairline crease at the very corner tips - at the top bottom of the spine. These are extremely small and measure just 0.5 cm and 1 cm respectively. There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear to the 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 under a strong light. There is some light or very minor fading to the white of the rear sleeve. This is not too noticeable. There is a very minor 3 cm bit of laminate lifting at the front spine area. This is about a third of the way up from the bottom. It doesn t really notice that much. The spine is in great condition and shows minimal wear. There is some light, very mild or very minor ringwear on some areas. Overall, Very NEAR EXCELLENT condition.
Vinyl: Visually, the vinyl doesn t look to have been played that much. It still gleams like new There are some light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can barely be seen under a strong light. The original inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on a few areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. Overall, Very NEAR EXCELLENT condition. The labels are in Excellent condition and show minimal spindle wear only.
The original polythene-lined company inner sleeve is in Very Good condition. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear, fading creasing. There are no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety.
Side 1 plays Very Near Excellent to Excellent overall, Excellent in many places. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in a few places. There is one mild click toward the end of Side 1.
Side 2 plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall Excellent in some places. There is light, mild, very mild or very minor crackle in some places. The crackle is mainly noticeable in the first quarter of Side 2. It eases out after that, and any crackle is only in a few places thereafter. There are a couple of very light clicks a quarter of the way through the side.
Any crackle, or the very few clicks, are just caused by microscopic deep down dirt in the grooves. It could be carefully professionally cleaned to remove this. Visually, the vinyl is in Excellent overall condition. Overall, it is a great 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 1.50 to 2.50. 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.
