Feel free to ask any questions. However, the information below should include the answers to most questions about costs, payment, shipment etc and detailed information about the item, so please read the listing carefully and look at the photograph(s) before sending a question or placing a bid. Thank you.
Detailed grading
Vinyl side 1/side 2: Ex/Ex. The vinyl has retained a high gloss and looks like it has been well cared for and handled and stored carefully. There are just a few very feint marks visible.
Labels side 1/side 2: Ex-/Ex. See photos. A name has been removed from the label on side 1 (although it is barely visible) and there is a tiny wrinkle near the logo. Side 2 label is excellent.
Sleeve: front/inner gatefold/back: Ex-/Ex-/Ex-. See photos. Intact and sound, no significant blemishes or damage and a nice, solid spine. The wheel works perfectly. A really excellent example, just slight tarnishing to the white areas.
Edge wear: moderate
Corner wear: moderate
Inner sleeves: plain
Other inserts: n/a
Detracting features not covered above - none. A really nice example.

Gradings: I have a 100% feedback rating because my records are always described accurately and fairly. I grade my records based on the UK Record Collector grading system, with (+) and (-) used to show where a grading is slightly above or below the Record Collector description. Please make sure you understand the Record Collector grading system before bidding (a summary is included at the bottom of this description). In most cases the highest grade I will give will be NM (near mint). This will be given to a record that is not new but is above Excellent condition. I will always point out any blemishes which might detract from the item or affect its grading. Unless stated otherwise, vinyl is visually graded. The photograph is of the actual item you will get.
First pressings and originals: Many of the records I sell are first pressings and, if this is the case, I will usually identify them as such and may include the relevant matrix information etc in the description. However, sometimes I cannot be certain whether a record is a first pressing or not. In these instances I will often use the word 'original' to identify a pressing which I think might be a first pressing, but do not know for sure (but which is certainly NOT a recent pressing or audiophile release etc). If you specifically want a first pressing, and know how to identify it, please ask the relevant questions before you bid.
Feel free to ask any questions about the item (but please don’t leave it to the last minute as I may not get a chance to reply). The following information should include the answers to most questions about costs, payment etc so please read it carefully before sending any questions.

The cost for this insurance will be at the buyer's expense and is an extra £4 in the UK and an extra £8 everywhere else (add these to the P&P costs below). Please note that for orders outside the EU I need to complete a customs declaration and must enter the value of the package on the declaration.

The Record Collector grading 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.
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.
CDs and Cassettes: As a general rule, CDs and cassettes either play perfectly - in which case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CDs are difficult to grade visually: they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaced if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves.
Thanks for your interest in this listing and for taking the time to read these details. Enjoy yourself on ebay and happy bidding!.
