Key Information

Please be advised that all record listings with the 'Key Information' text, including this listing, are Sample Played & Visually Assessed - This means I will have listened to a small sample of the record (Approx 20 - 40 seconds) on each side. Due to the volume of music I have for sale, it is not possible to listen to every record all the way through, therefore when you buy, please be aware that my assessment is based on this audio sample and on a visual assessment, which lead me to overall ratings, one for the record and one for the cover (if applicable) - The overall ratings for this record are below:

G (Good) – Record is used and is in passable condition, it has played all the way through but may have looped on other occasions. It may have surface noise that is on par with the audio for a significant duration, may have jumps, possibility of other non-audio noises. Labels may have very noticeable flaws & scuffs. Record may have some chips to the outer dead wax, there may be very noticeable blemishes / scuffs / hairlines on the record itself. Sleeve may have very noticeable flaws, which may be significant. All of these things may be at the same time.
