Up for auction is a copy of Gladys Knight ‎– Miss Gladys Knight LP, Aus Original, VINYL NM

The record has been cleaned using a Loricraft Record Cleaning Machine. This is a vacuum record cleaning system which has been around for many years and works incredibly well. So the record will arrive in the best possible condition and I'm sure you'll hear the difference, it'll sound superb. Hope you enjoy it!

NOTE: Postage has changed to calculated cost for Australian buyers and includes a $1.50 charge for the mailer i.e. it now varies depending on your location and is calculated automatically by eBay. I still offer a postage cap of $18.50, so please email me before paying if you want to take advantage of this offer, it's certainly worthwhile if you're buying 5 or more records. Also eBay currently has a tendency to overcharge for postage, so feel free to contact me with any questions. Cheers.

POSTAGE & PACKAGING

NOTE: Postage has changed to calculated cost for Australian buyers and includes a $1.50 charge for the mailer i.e. it now varies depending on your location and is calculated automatically by eBay. I still offer a postage cap of $18.50, so please email me before paying if you want to take advantage of this offer, it's certainly worthwhile if you're buying 5 or more records. Also this is the first time I've changed postage since I opened the shop so please feel free to contact me if you encounter any issues or feel you've been over charged. Cheers.

All records come with an outer sleeve and will be posted in a dedicated cardboard mailer to insure it reaches you safely. Local pickup from inner west Sydney is also welcome.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

GRADING

Grading is as per Goldmine Magazine grading standards, with items being graded conservatively.

SS : Still Sealed - in factory-fresh condition

M : Mint - perfect, possibly unplayed

NM : Near Mint - a near perfect, may have just a few light surface scratches

VG+ : Very Good Plus - has some superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Only well cared for records will grade out to VG+. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector.

VG : Very Good - a used, reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.

VG- : Very Good Minus - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise.

G+ : Good Plus - In the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about beat-up records.
