ALL POSTAGE/SHIPPING RATES + TERMS & CONDITIONS CAN ALSO BE FOUND BELOW THE PHOTO GALLERY; PLEASE READ THESE. THANK YOU.
CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY VINYL (VISUAL): EXCELLENT; the vinyl looks great and has retained a wonderful shine with just the occasional light superficial mark. There are some tiny manufacturing dinks on some sides which had no affect on play.All labels look great with just light signs of use/age.
AUDIO This has been completely play graded from start to finish at volume and all sides played through fine without jumping or sticking.
Please be completely aware that this is an unofficial release and as such, the sound quality was overall more than listenable but variable, with some background crackle in places, though this was never constant. The audio is a little muffled in places, but again this is more the exception than the rule. The excerpts from Shea Stadium were the worst affected by this. The final side is also quite muffled, but this consists entirely of interviews so is largely insignificant.
The sound quality is completely down to the pressing and has nothing to do with the condition of the record.
BOX & INSERT: EX/EXCELLENT(-); the box sleeve is in great condition with just light wear/scuffing of edges. Looks great.
The insert is in EXCELLENT(+) condition with just very light signs of handling.

GRADING
Unless otherwise stated, all of my records have been play tested before listing using a Rega P3-24 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge & stylus. I describe honestly and accurately but please bear in mind that I am only human and such things are always subjective. I tend to grade records conservatively and believe that my feedback speaks for itself.
Please take confidence from the fact that I have been a collector myself for over 20 years (please check my feedback as a buyer) and know only too well how disappointing it is to receive an inaccurately described record.
I also grade visually using a strong halogen lamp.
I use the Record Collector grading system as shown below.
POSTAGE / SHIPPING
I post worldwide and pack all records in custom made (stiff) card mailers and add extra packaging inside to ensure a safe delivery. I will provide a protective polythene sleeve and the record and inner will be removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits in transit. I want your record to get to you in the condition that it was when it left me.
For any records that come with printed inner sleeves, I will also provide an additional plain inner.
As a general rule, shipping will be discounted ie. I lose money on the costs of buying my packaging. I do not profit from this; please remember that my costs are not simply those shown on the stamp!
Shipping rates quoted are valid up to a total sale value of £2500 within the UK and £500 for overseas buyers in the territories shown below:

CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS FOR OVERSEAS ORDERS: Please note that for overseas orders from outside the EU I am obliged to complete a customs declaration and must enter the true value of the package's contents on the declaration.

Please send me a message if anything is unclear and I will be happy to help.
RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM
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.
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.
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.
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, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
