VG+ Vinyl  (Very close to NM except for a slight mark on side A) / VG+ Sleeve  (some wearing on edges)

All my vinyl I have put up for sale are from my personal collection from over the years. I have tried to show the condition in the photo’s as much as possible, so please inspect the photo’s closely as they are 99% of the description. I have graded the vinyl and sleeve using the Goldmine Standard for Grading (Outlined below). If a part of the sleeve/vinyl has any particular remark, it will be at the beginning of the description above. I have tried to be as accurate as I can in the grading and ALL my vinyl has been cleaned and played through before posting for sale. If you have any questions, please ask. Delivery by Ebay Packlink

SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE

WILL NOT SHIP OVERSEAS

Near Mint (NM or M-)

A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An 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.  

Very Good Plus (VG+) 

A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". 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 slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.  

Very Good (VG) 

Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, 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, it will not have all of these problems at the same time. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price.  

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) 

A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.  

Most of my items I send via Hermes because I work and has a local drop off point. Hermes do have a remote location surcharge. Please see below to make sure your location isn#t affected (the following is from Hermes website). If previously arranged before bidding, I may be able to send via a different courier, but please contact me before bidding if your postcode is affected.

What is a location charge?

Some locations in the UK are more expensive to deliver to than others, for instance, some may require sending parcels using ferries or are located further from our depots. Because of this, a limited number of postcodes have a small location charge of £2.40 when sending and delivering to those locations. There’s no location charge when sending within the same postcode area.
