Please note that none of these are in excellent condition and all will require a good professional clean. They are all marked in some way, as described, so please do not expect unmarked records.


Please look at the photographs and ask any questions, the photographs form part of the description.


Grading: I have used the British Record Collectors system as a guide. All records are graded by eye under a bright light. In some cases, where there is doubt, I will play them and say that they have been played to test. As a quick guide:


·         Mint (M) Record and cover etc. like new – I will probably never use this.


·         Excellent (EX) Record shows some signs of use – cover etc. have slight wear and/or creasing.


·         Very Good (VG) Record has obviously had a lot of use but no major deterioration in sound quality – cover etc. has normal wear and tear.


·         Good (G) Record has been heavily used and sound quality has deteriorated – cover etc. will be heavily scuffed, torn and/or discoloured.


·         Fair (F) Record is just about playable but will stick and/or jump – cover etc. will be torn, stained and/or defaced.


Cleaning: As I do not have a professional cleaning / anti-static system I have not attempted to clean any of the records, preferring to leave that to purchasers to clean and remove static to their standards.


Photographs: Photographing the vinyl is proving difficult – there will be reflections of everything around. If in doubt please contact me or ask for further photographs to be uploaded.


Buyer Satisfaction: I have tried to be as honest as possible but record grading can be very subjective. However, if you are not satisfied I will give a full no quibble refund including all postage costs. Please contact me so that everything can be sorted to your satisfaction.


Posting: I will usually use the Post Office second class for items below 2Kg and a courier or parcel service for heavier items. I will post the next working day (including Saturday morning) – any delay after that is down to the carrier. They quote between 3 and 5 working days delivery time.


Combined Postage: I will combine postage whenever it is cheaper to do so. Please contact me for a quote before purchase or wait for an invoice at checkout.


Packing: I will pack the records between two sturdy pieces of cardboard taped together. This may not look as pretty as a purpose made box but it seems to work well in reducing the chance of the record moving in the packaging or the record moving in the sleeve.
