These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years and which I am now clearing. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the description which is my honest personal assessment and check the pictures. You may wish to check my feedback from sale of my albums most of which appears under my own ID (Eddery); this is my wife's ID as I am trying to keep the 45's separate from the rest. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system (as detailed below) except I won't use Mint. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding.
Record / condition:Overall:
I'd guess it might grade at (sleeve / vinyl) VG / VG+
Terms:
Please note that I try
to test-play at least part of each record before listing, usually all of it. If you do discover
a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I
will do all I can to rectify the situation.

The time has come to sell
my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or
grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it.
Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not
particularly logical mix. Thank you to all who have already given new homes to
my beloved vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to come
GRADING: UK Record Collector Grading
system:
(I
try to
grade along the same lines as professional sellers might. However, I
don’t use
Mint or NM for any LP’s of significant vintage as most will as a minimum
have paper
scuffs and dust / static build up however good they look .. so EX+ is as
good
as I will go. I don't have any of the lower 3 grades which are there for
reference only.
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 un-played
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,
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.
