ITEM PREPERATION

• All items are fully restored to as near new condition as possible, visibly and audible checked and shrink-wrapped for preservation (Excluding oversized items).

GRADINGS

• I tend to err on the side of caution when grading. You may well find the condition is better than you were expecting.
• Collectors, Archives, Libraries and Media customers are advised to stick with MINT or EXCELLENT conditions. These items are of Broadcast Quality.
• MINT Self-Explanatory. Maybe New and received when the item was released and in our spares room ever since. The item has it's full gloss, no marks, and any labels are in clean condition. It has been fully restored to remove any pressing plant dust, checked and is in absolutely brilliant condition! Perfect for the demanding collector!
• EXCELLENT Literally only a few light marks normally caused by taking the item out of it's sleeve/case. The item has it's full gloss, and any labels are in clean condition. It has been fully restored and checked and is in absolutely brilliant condition! Perfect for the demanding collector! [Dealers usually mark this as M-]
• VERY GOOD Light surface marks and maybe occasional background noise [vinyl], no loss in sound quality. The item has it's full gloss, and any labels are in clean condition. It has been fully restored and checked and is perfectly good enough for most collectors! [Dealers usually mark this as EX]
• GOOD Everything else gets listed as good and detailed in the description. These will need to be quite rare as spares that just rate as GOOD, FAIR or POOR are normally shredded and recycled.

THE KRT MUSIC ARCHIVE (more details at krtpro.org)

• The KRT MUSIC ARCHIVE is a privately owned music archive based in West London, near Heathrow airport.
• The archive tries to collect music and collate information on a wide as range as possible. All musical styles, signed and unsigned artists, and from all over the world. It's impossible to buy it all but thankfully I do get assisted by some record companies and artists which help tremendously with new music and of course the search for those oldies never ends.
• I buy collections and unwanted stock to improve my own archive collection. Any extra copies that are in brilliant condition are restored and placed in the spares room. There they stay until someone asks for it and selected items are placed here on eBay and other portals.
• Not being a music dealer means I don't have clear-outs after 6 months to get rid of unsold stock, and I can spend more time and trouble in the storage and presentation of items. Here, I try and preserve items for future generations.
• The website is still under construction and will eventually be a reference for the entire history of recorded music, but this is a incredbily complex and time consuming site to develop and will take some time to achieve, but it is up and running and research facilities can be found at www.krtpro.org. 

RESTORATION

• All items have been fully restored [by hand] to as near their original condition as possible. As you can see by my feedback, my customers can be 'suprised' at the 'new' look, feel and sound of our used items.
• A full restoration of an item [in this case a vinyl record] consits of the following, all done by hand. [1] Normal wiping with Professional Record Cleaning fluid to remove obvious fingerprints, dust etc. [2] Immersing in a temperature-critical 'bath' and wiping until all contaminates have been removed from the vinyl. [3] Rinsing in a second temperature-critical 'bath', [4] Hand-wipe to get surface fluid off the vinyl, [5] Air-drying, [6] Hand Polishing to remove water marks and bring back the original shine, [6] Visually and usually Audibly checking the item.
• I don't go to the extreme of removing 'bonded' contaminates from the vinyl. A click is much less annoying than a thump from a pothole which can distort the musical image.
• The end result is a vinyl that looks, feels and sounds like new. The restoration process doesn't remove scratches or marks on the vinyl, but what's important is the sound, and that is usually much improved. Even with a brand new item.
• I restore CD's as well as Vinyl. Why? Because the small holes in the top of the case allow the air to get in and can deposit pollutants on the surface.
• We are constantly restoring items for ourselves and our contacts, but please note that this is a specialist service that a record dealer or shop cannot supply and it would be unfair to expect them to.
• WHAT IS SKIMMING? Skimming is something that certain unscrupulous people use to bring a duff record back to life by chemically removing the top layer of the vinyl. It doesn't work. The sound is 'foggy' and background noise is increased. A skimmed record has a value of 0.00.

LOST ITEMS

• If you have items go missing occasionally you should think about using the SIGNED-FOR service, especially if it is an expensive package. I am NOT responsible for items that go missing UNLESS you have requested and payed for the SIGNED-FOR service.
• Only around 1 in 1,000 items seem to get lost in the post, if that. The postal services around the world are very good. Some are faster than others, but most now are reliable, and items usually show up eventually and this can be caused by a misdirection.
• ADVICE> If you ever have a expected delivery go missing, you should ALWAYS let your local sorting office know. Rouge postal workers are thankfully few and far between. But only by reporting lost packages can the culrpits be tracked down. [Tell your friends to do the same.]
