Please see all my listings. I can do a postage reduction for bulk purchases. All vinyls are sent in maximum protection mailers.

Further to recent feedback, all vinyls will also be removed from sleeves and all contents will be surrounded in bubble wrap.

Due to starting up a new business I am selling my collectable vinyl from the late 80's/90's.

This is the original 1998 vinyl release of the classic debut LP by Mos Def and Talib Kweli as Black Star. It was released on Raskus with serial number RWK 1158-1.

The album features the singles Definition and Respiration and a cover version of Slick Ricky's Children Story which still sounds as relevant as ever.

The sleeve shows very small signs of wear (VG+) but the vinyl itself and inner sleeve are excellent (EX). Please note that this record has never been used for Djing or scratching.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.

Please contact me if you have any questions about this listed record and any of the others .

As with all my vinyl, this is up for auction so will go to the highest bidder. Good luck.

FAO International bidders.

The cost of delivery from UK to destinations abroad has almost doubled on two items I have sent today.

As a result I will have to increase international delivery cost to a generic value of £15 for auction purposes. I will treat every order individually and give every successful bidder their own price depending on location.

FAO UK bidders - I hope that mainland delivery costs have not increased too significantly and will post an update asap.
