THE VINYL:    GOOD

NO WRITING OR SCRATCHES ON THE CLEAN LABELS. HAS A FEW SPINDLE MARKS BUT VERY LITTLE SPINDLE WEAR.

NO SELLOTAPE, NO WRITING, HAS A FEW EDGE CREASES TO FLIPBACKS, BUT THE FLIPBACKS ARE COMPLETE AND SECURE. MINOR LAMINATE LIFT. SOME AGEING ON REAR SLEEVE (SLIGHTLY GRUBBY THROUGH 60 YEARS OF HANDLING) AND A COUPLE OF OTHER SOFT MARKS. SOME CORNER WEAR, MINOR EDGE WEAR, SOME SPINE WEAR BUT IT IS COMPLETELY READABLE. THE OPENING EDGE IS FAIRLY TIDY WITH SOME THUMB CREASES.


THE INNER SLEEVE:    VERY GOOD+

Original plastic lined EMITEX inner sleeve has minor creasing, some stains or marks (mainly discolouration through ageing). No edge splits, has writing 'MAXINE'. No splits, some small tears to top edges.

Grading System:  I have used Record Collector magazine set of standards for the condition of second-hand records. I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.

I grade all records in accordance with the Rare Record Price Guide (see above). However, if you feel I have graded your record incorrectly please email me ASAP so we can resolve the problem amicably.

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.  (NOTE: As far as I am concerned, MINT will never apply to second hand vinyl records).

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, discoloration, 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.

 

Post & Packaging - I recycle all packaging so you will get your goods in recycled packaging / cardboard container. All items over £20 are insured and sent 'Signed For' or ‘Tracked 48’ and I always obtain a 'Certificate of Posting' for cheaper items. All items are securely and properly packaged and vinyl is sent using double corrugated cardboard stiffeners.

PAYMENT  EBAY PAYMENT PREFERRED. PLEASE PAY WITHIN 3 DAYS OF THE AUCTION END OR CONTACT ME IF THERE IS LIKELY TO BE A DELAY.
