Description
There comes a time in every mans life when he must finally shed the weight of vinyl hanging around his neck!. So here goes – all these records were personally bought by me – mostly at the time.
All have been played to confirm the sound quality, none of my records are “MINT” they have all been played. I will document any defects I find as accurately as I can.
I have used the Record Collector grading system throughout for both vinyl and cover/extras with notes where appropriate, so you won’t see comments like “Near Mint” - they are not mint so the best they can be is Excellent.
Nor will I SHOUT at you as to how (allegedly) rare the record is or how a copy sold for 50 trillion pounds only last week.
There will be a whole mix of stuff ranging from the hippy stuff through reggae, punk, hip hop including rarities along side the common stuff. It’s going to take me three years to get through the albums alone so check back and see what comes up. First lot up will cover artistes that came to fame during the sixties and seventies up to the punk revolution.
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.
This record is Lizard by King Crimson released in 1970 on Island records ILPS 9141. It’s the laminated gatefold cover, on the pink rim/palm tree Island label, matrix a2u/b2u.
The cover is in excellent condition except for sellotape trace top left front and slight creases in the laminate on the back cover
The Vinyl is in excellent condition, little surface noise and no significant defects. It has my initials and “LP52” written in (slightly smudged) pen on the a side label.
Ebay force me to set an uninsured postage cost, every record that sells for more than £41 will be sent special delivery, and will incur the special delivery postage rate.
