Description

  I am a long time record collector that has decided to sell some of my records. I've been buying records on-line since 2001 and know that conditions are everything. My gradings are very strict and I assure there will be no unpleasent surprises with my records.
Raw Material - Raw Material - Evolution Z.1006 - UK 1970

Original UK issue. A clean copy, sleeve a couple of creases on lamination and disc has one or two very light scuffs only. Sounds excellent; 3-4 pops can be heard (not from scratches!) during the first track but the rest of the album plays with sharp sound and virtually no background crackle or noise.

Auction guidelines for an easy and pleasent transaction: - I do NOT have my 'ma mates' to bid up the prices. Rest assured that all bids are real and that you don't have to compete with the seller's greed too. - I do NOT profit on postage and I use only recycled packaging material so it costs nothing either. You only pay for the item itself and what it costs to deliver it to you.
- Please wait for my invoice before paying.
- Records are graded VERY strictly to ensure that customers will be pleased when they see the records. I rather get a few 'bucks' less than spending unhealthy time arguing with unhappy customers. - If you for any reason would want to return any item, that is perfectly fine. Please do that within 14 days though. No questions asked! - I accept PayPal and bank transfer within EU as the methods of payment. For EU citizens, that has Euros as the currency, that choose to use IBAN transfer, I will give a 4% relief from the total value.
- Items are graded under a 100W lightbulb so everything is seen and noted when graded.
- I do not use buzzwords or describe items overly excited. Do not get fooled into assuming that my records wouldn't be just as good, even if the usual RARE!!! MEGARARE!!! STUNNING!!!! AWESOME!!! is missing from my descriptions.
- I guarantee good and friendly customer service.
- I expect payments to be received within 4 weeks.
    Estimated postage per LP in Euros
Europe 8,70 € (3-5 days)
Elsewhere 13,55 € (5-10 days)

Winner will be invoiced in GBP converted at with PayPal's exchange rates. I hold the right to pack records stronger and heavier in certain circumstances, f.e. if the sleeve is fragile, in exceptional condition or the item ends up at high value. I also hold the right to use (and charge the winner) extra services, such as recorded delivery or insurance. Generally, I try to get the postal costs as reasonable and low as possible.
    Conditions: My grading is based on the very strict 'old-skool' UK RC standards. I use M-, EX, VG+, VG and G. Note that I don't use gradings such as NM--, EX- or VG+++.   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." Only unplayed and brand new items will be listed as MINT. MINT- will be used for discs that are still in 'as new' condition, but may have been played few times. Needless to say, 30-40 year old discs will very rarely be in this condition.

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". Records are virtually unmarked and have only very little wear. Records graded as EX are very nice indeed. Generally, this is the highest grade I give to a used record.

 

VERY GOOD+: VG+ is an area somewhere between VG and EX. Records graded VG+ will still be clean, but under a strong lamp you may notice few very light hairlines or bagrash on the disc and light wear and tear on the sleeve. The marks will have NO affect on playback, which is still great. With my 6 years of buying experience through the net, records like these are very commonly graded as EX, EX+ (or even NM in some weird cases)!

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." Records graded as VG are still acceptable and enjoyable (looks and plays nice). You can see that the disc has been played and held, but still no big issues at all. Will play very well.

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, discoloration, etc." Sounds bad, but in reality it is still the music that sounds above any issue.
