PLEASE READ BELOW BEFORE BIDDING:
The fine print:
All unsealed records are professionally cleaned on a VPI record cleaning machine using high quality (alcohol-free) L'Art du Son concentrated solution.
LPs are shipped in a poly outer sleeve with the record outside of the cover (but in its inner sleeve) to prevent seam-splitting.
All vinyl is visually and conservatively graded under strong artificial light.
I grade conservatively using the Goldmine grading scale. There is no such thing as a "mint" record, near mint (NM) is my highest grade. Grades are a visual representation of the playing surfaces.
NM > VG++ > VG+ > VG > VG- > G+ > Good > Poor
NM - Playing surfaces will look new with no sings of mishandling. Possibly unplayed.
VG++ - At most a few minor imperfections that have little to no effect on play. Possibly unplayed as well.
VG+ - Still a great-looking record with slightly more imperfections that may add some background noise in parts.
VG - Even more imperfections that may add some background noise in parts.
VG-/G+/G/P - I won't sell too many LPs that fall into these grades, but there will be a progression downwards from VG depending upon the severity of the damage. These LPs will be play-tested at least in part to ensure they don't skip.
Sometimes the two sides of a record will grade differently. I will grade it accordingly in those situations, e.g. if side 1 is VG++ & side 2 is VG+ I would mark it VG++/VG+.
Covers follow the same grading scale.
I don't generally grade inner sleeves, but if this information is important to you, please ask! I will make a note above if the LP is accompanied with a generic, company or custom-printed (this is unique to the release, they usually have pictures, lyrics, etc.) inner sleeve.
LPs are shipped in Whiplash mailers to ensure safe arrival. They are the most expensive mailers, but also the best. It's important the LPs arrive to you in the same condition they leave me in, and Whiplash ensures that.
