Pricing:

• If you purchase more than one LP, I will refund post and packing on additional LPs posted together, to same address. Pls pay all postage at time of purchase and I will refund it after the sale.

Post and packing:

• LPs will be dispatched by Royal Mail First Class. They will be sent 'signed for' postage for all sales over £20 (excl post).
• All LPs will be packed in tough cardboard boxes (costing £1 each . . .) designed specifically for posting LPs - so they will be well protected. Pls see photos.
• Purchased items can be collected in person.

General notes on Condition:

• I have made no comment or grading based on playing the vinyl, since I no longer have a turntable to test them. However, they should play as well as intended where there are no scratches and I have been very accurate about reporting scratches and minor (surface) scrapes.
• The LPs I'm selling were all purchased new by me for my personal collection in the late 1970's and into the 1980's until CDs were introduced.
• They are all (so far as I know) the original UK pressings - though some of the earlier LPs (like Led Zeppelin 4, Rush and a few others) may have been slightly later pressings.
• Many of the LPs I'm selling have only been played a handful of times and are close to Mint condition, when it turned out I didn't like them! Others were played more often, as the condition indicates.
• They were only played within a few years of their purchase, hardly at all after 1987 and never played after 1990 when I emigrated - since then they have remained in storage.
• They were always stored in proper LP carrying cases, hence the sleeves were well protected and the vinyl is not warped.
• On some occasions, there are some slight signs of ageing present - usually in the inner sleeves with some brown discolouration/spots ('foxing') to the paper and perhaps some slight yellowing on covers. This is to be expected on items stored for 30 years. I have not always noted these specifically in the description unless they are significant.
• On some of the pictures, the LPs look dusty. It's only dust. :-) It's because I wiped the vinyl before taking their pictures in order to inspect them. Wiping left static electricity which made them super-attractive dust.

Rating System

• I used the following Discogs.com ratings and excluded Mint (reserved for unplayed records) and anything below Very Good.

Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The sleeve of a 45 of EP should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. The LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam-splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Many dealers won?t give a grade higher than NM, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect.   Very Good Plus (VG+) Showing some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Any defects are of a cosmetic nature and do not affect the actual playback. In theory, a VG+ record should sound the same as a Near Mint (NM) one. Vinyl surfaces may show some signs of wear, such as slight scuffs or very light scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are okay. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a small seam-split. An LP cover may have sparse signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, it plays perfectly, and if not for some minor aesthetic wear, it would be Near Mint.   Very Good (VG) The defects found in a Very Good Plus (VG+) record will be more pronounced in a Very Good (VG) item. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, such as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, a VG item will not have all of these problems at the same time.
