Vinyl still has a good sheen and plays through with no skips, sticks or jumps and strong audio throughout. A light in the black sounds excellent on vinyl. There are some surface scratches over both sides none of which are feel able and none that detract from any playback. Audio remains strong throughout. Labels are clean and complete with no stickers or writing. No spindle wear to the centres. Plain white inner sleeve. Outer gatefold sleeve has no splits, stickers or writing. Stargazer lyrics on inner gatefold. Readable wide spine, some marks to front bottoms sleeve and some wear in places along the edges. Light ring wear and some surface marks.

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 labels, outer / inner sleeves, posters inserts etc. Vinyl is always separated from sleeve in transit. Record will come in a PVC 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..

…

Payment is respectfully expected within three days of the auction ending.. Order may be cancelled and re listed otherwise..

…

Quick Pay = Quick Post

ANY Problems at all please get in touch and just let me know.. IF You are unsatisfied in any way with your purchase please do not leave any feedback without contacting me first to resolve the issue.. I will always try to provide an honest description of all my vinyl and I am confident with my many years of experience that I always offer a good service... However I am only human and as stated early i appreciate that opinions differ so if you disagree with any of my gradings or policies please just get in touch and let me know.. Thank you
