GRADING

SLEEVE: VG

The sleeve is in good, strong, robust condition. The main fault and that which is responsible for the downgrading is that there is a patch of damage to the front of the sleeve at the opening edge (see pictures). This damage is to the top laminated layer and does not penetrate the entire of the front of the sleeve. The edges are sharp and clean with the spine being great and all text being perfectly legible. There are a couple of laminate wrinkles to the front of the sleeve. The unlaminated rear is nice and clean with just some very light general wear and a small amount of feathering at the aperture.

RECORD: VG

The record retains is lovely deep sheen. There are some light scuff marks and hairlines although there is nothing feelable or substantial. The record has been fully play tested. A superb and unparalleled Stereo mix with lovely depth and clarity. There is some general and light surface noise most noticeable during the last track of side 1 and the first of side 2 although this is not too obtrusive. There are a couple of isolated pops but, of course, no skips or sticks. A great sounding copy of a very rare and sought after album.

The above record grading is based on Record Collector magazine system:

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.

I calculate postage using the Royal mail postage calculator. I charge an extra 50p for packing materials as i buy specialist record mailers and stiffeners. Sometimes records cost less to mail than i expect. In these cases i try to refund the difference. However, as I mail a number of records at one time i occasionally lose track of who paid what postage for which record. RATHER THAN LEAVING LESS THAN 5 STAR FEEDBACK, IF YOU HAVE BEEN OVERCHARGED FOR POSTAGE PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL IMMEDIATELY REFUND YOU THE DIFFERENCE.
