UK Shipping cost for this item is £6.95 by Courier, not £4.50 as shown in checkout. This is simply because the ebay system only allows £4.50 for this category - OK for 1 or 2 LP's but not for 20 LP's, a parcel of 5 kilos weight.

Costs to overseas destinations will vary by country - please ask for a shipping quote before bidding and I will get the best price possible for you.

GRADING GUIDELINES

Although record gradings can often be a matter of personal opinion, we have to find some common ground, and so my gradings are essentially based along the guidelines laid down by the Record Collector publication. However, I will elaborate here in order that you will understand how my gradings are made.

MINT (M)

A record described as Mint should be absolutely as new, just as it came out of the factory and in truth, never have been played although this is often difficult to prove or disprove. The sound should be crystal clear with no background noise or deterioration in sound quality.

The cover and any additional items such as posters,inner sleeve or lyric sheets should also be as new, with no creases, stains or writing(an acceptable exception would be the shopkeeper's hand-written price on the rear of the sleeve) which was commom-place in the 60's and 70's, before the days of bar-coding and automated pricing machines.

NEAR MINT (NM) or (M-)

This grading means that the record and/or it's cover are just marginally short of qualifying as being Mint. The vinyl may just show signs of having been played once or twice. The area around the spindle hole should be pretty much free of spindle trace marks, or at least only have the minimum of these marks. In other words, it is close to being Mint but not quite close enough to describe as such.

There may be the very slightest crease marks on the sleeve, or the laminate may have lifted in small areas without detracting too much from it's overall appearance

EXCELLENT (EX)/(EX+)/(EX-)

There will be indications on the vinyl surface that the record has been played, possibly several times but at the same time, it has been well cared for. There should be very little deterioration in the listening experience.

The sleeve/jacket could have minor creasing and/or signs of storage wear/discoloration, particularly on the back. EX- would indicate that the record would qualify for an EX grading apart from perhaps a small initial written on the label or sleeve or a scuff on the label or other very minor defect which does not affect the overall appearance or sound quality of the item.

VERY GOOD (VG)/(VG+)/(VG-)

the record will show significant signs of having been 'well played', it will show surface scratches and/or scuffs but will still play nicely without too much background noise. The cover and extras (lyric sheets etc) will also have creases or normal wear characteristics which are usually acceptable for this grade. VG+ and VG- are simply up and down variations on this grading, depending on the degree of wear and tear.

GOOD

The record has obviously been played or mis-treated so much that the sound quality is not what it used to be, but may be acceptable depending on the criteria of the individual collector. It will have several surface scratches and/or other defects but may still be useful as a 'gap filler' within a collection. The sleeve will probably be creased badly, torn or repaired with sellotape. Album sleeves may have crushed or damaged spines caused by bad storage etc.

FAIR

This grade may be only just about playable, with 'skips and jumps' and not really worth having UNLESS it is exceptionally rare, in which case it could serve as a 'gap filler'. I will not list any item in this condition unless it was mega-rare and this would be shown clearly in the description, so that there is no doubt about it.

Shipping charges.

Shipping costs as from 1st May 2012 have been unavoidably increased thanks to Royal Mail,who for some services, have imposed big increases, especially to overseas destinations. I have done my level best to keep my costs as low as possible, but please understand that I do not set the postage charges. Larger and heavier items will be sent by courier where possible, as this route is much cheaper than Royal Mail.

Please note that my shipping costs cover the postage, plus the packing materials. All my items are carefully packed as I want them to arrive at your end in the condition I would expect if I was the buyer. I feel confident that my shipping costs are fair and reasonable, and my feedback backs this up, but please make sure you are happy with this before buying.

For multiple purchases, I will calculate the best price/shipping method, so please wait for invoice.

Please note that any records which sell for £30 or more, will be sent by Recorded Delivery to UK . To destinations outside the UK, items will be sent using International Signed For service . This will incur an additional charge of £4.50. I make no exceptions to this as too many items are allegedly not delivered, and Paypal charge my account for them. This is therefore for both your peace of mind as well as mine. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Please wait for invoice after buying.
