GRADING OF OUR RECORDS AND CD'S (SEE BELOW FOR POSTER GRADING)

95% of our stock items are in at least excellent condition, and many are mint. This applies to sleeves as well as records and CDs etc. However we do have a few items which are in lesser condition. If an item is in less than excellent condition, this will be clearly indicated in the description, eg: EX-/EX, VG/EX etc, where the first grading is for the sleeve/cover and the second is for the record/CD. We grade all our items using the long established Record Collector magazine system. Here is a guideline:

MINT (M):
The record/CD is in brand new condition with no surface marks or distortion in sound quality. The cover and any extras items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be mint.

EXCELLENT (EX):
The record/CD shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little (if any) lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have very minor wear and/or creasing.

EXCELLENT MINUS (EX-):
The record/CD has been played a few times and will show a little minor wear, but sound quality will still be almost perfect. The cover and packaging might have one or two small but noticeable defects, such as a strong crease or a small mark where a sticker has been removed.

VERY GOOD (VG):
The record/CD has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable surface marks and the ocassional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable.

GOOD (G):
The record/CD has been played so much that the sound quality is noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding., scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR (F):
The record/CD will have a lot of major scratches and surface marks and will not play well at all. The cover will have major defects such as tears, stains, water damage, writing etc. The only items we will offer in this condition will be rare collectors items, and always a fraction of their normal price.

IMPORTANT: Due to the sheer quantity of stock we handle, we grade all items visually. However, if there are any noticable marks on a record/CD, we always ensure that it plays properly before listing it.

All our CD's are genuine original items, we NEVER sell bootlegs, counterfeits or home made CDR copies.

GRADING OF OUR POSTERS

NEW:
The poster is new and still sealed.

EXCELLENT:
The poster is new but not sealed and may have some minor wrinkling/creasing and fingerprints as a result of storage and handling.

VERY GOOD:
The poster has not been used but will have some wrinkling/creasing and fingerprints as a result of storage and handling.

GOOD:
The poster may or may not have been used but it will have some obvious wrinkling/creasing and fingerprints and/or possibly some small nicks and tears in the edges.

ACCEPTABLE:
The poster will have significant nicks and tears and heavy wrinkling/creasing, fingerprints, dirty marks, possible water damage and even pieces missing. As a rule the only posters we offer in this condition will be rare collectors items, and always a price that reflects their condition.
