Vinyl all visually have been very well looked after and they play through with no skips, sticks or jumps and excellent audio and production overall on this marvellous selection of works from NICK DRAKE. Beautifully written songs that are wonderfully crafted from a huge talent that was taken far too soon. Disc one has a light warp which doesn’t catch on the deck and plays through fully with very strong audio with occasional light background clicks and faint surface noise in places which don’t detract from playback. Occasional light background on the other discs but the vintage production is excellent. Otherwise there is very little play wear minimal marks under the lamp and minimal wear really nice visual examples from 1979 as they have been stored. Labels are clean and complete with no stickers or writing and no spindle wear to the centres. There is three original poly lined black inner sleeves and three printed inner sleeves which are in excellent condition with no splits. There is also a full size lyric booklet which is in excellent condition with some light yellowing and light marks. The outer box has a hinged style opening with a readable spine and some tape in a strip across a back strip visible in the pictures. Front of the box is laminated and the set has that vintage vinyl light odour about it from storage. Complete with no crushing or tears with some age related storage marks again all visible in pictures.

…

All records are properly play tested through headphones unless otherwise stated or still sealed.. All vinyl is also inspected under a bright halogen lamp and carefully graded.. I use the standard U.K. record collector grading system appreciating that opinions differ.. I never add more than one + or - to my gradings and never grade a record as M unless it’s bought new by myself and still sealed. Even then an M graded record is extremely rare in anyone’s grading system.

…

Vinyl is graded first then outer / inner sleeves, posters inserts etc. Vinyl is always separated from sleeve in transit. Record will come in a polythene protective sleeve with a new anti static inner sleeve when the inner is printed or a new one is required. Posted with two record stiffeners in sturdy vinyl mailer. Vinyl is always posted signed for, insured with proof of postage also retained. Any international postage is also always signed for, tracked and with healthy insurance.

…

Vinyl can be combined, up to three thin spine or two wide spine per mailer. Spine size is generally stated in my listings to give buyers an idea of potential postage combining. I always provide new mailers / packing material etc. If you wish to combine postage please just drop me a mail stating your intentions thank you..
