POSTAGE
In general the service provided by the Post Office in the UK is
reliable but the option of choosing insured postage is available.
Insured post has to be signed for of course, but
there is the advantage of guaranteed delivery and cover for losses and
breakages.
Items which are not insured are virtually untraceable by the Post
Office and compensation
for lost packages cannot be guaranteed.
If you use a credit card method of payment you should be able to make
a claim on that insurance.

Grading:
GRADINGS
SLEEVE/VINYL GRADED SEPARATELY. SLEEVE GRADED FIRST
We do not have a ‘Mint’ category as we believe it is near impossible
to claim something is in this condition when it could be 20 or 30
years old.
If a record is sealed we will state this and assume it is unplayed.
ABBREVIATIONS:
WOL Writing On Label
WOS Writing On Sleeve
TOL Tear On Label
TOS Tear On Sleeve
MOL Mark On Label
MOS Mark On Sleeve
P/S Picture Sleeve
Pic/Disc or P/D Picture Disc
C/S Printed Company Sleeve (extremely rare in some instances)
NOC No Original Centre
S/C Sleeve Creased
W/D Water Damaged Sleeve
S/L or S/S Stain On Label/Sleeve
C/O Cut Out Stock (usually corner cut off)
PLOS/PLOL Promotional Label On Sleeve/Label
S.D. Spine/Edge Damage or Wear
Although we will frequently use these abbreviations we will give
clearer descriptions when
we feel it is applicable.
ACTUAL GRADINGS
EX+ Practically as new. No writing; marks; ring-wear; tears or
creases.
In a clean state despite having been played. Very
well cared for.
EX Broadly the record/sleeve is in extremely good condition.
If there are visible marks and/or slight sound
defects these would be noted.
VG+ It is obvious the record has been played and the sleeve shows some
signs of
age. The record will have visible, though
insignificant marks and the sleeve
will show the beginnings of corner damage. But
the record/sleeve would have
been cared for over the years and be very
presentable.
In general, VG+ would reflect somebody who had
played their records but
made sure they were cared for and properly stored.
VG The record would be marked, but not extensively or deeply and the
sleeve,
particularly the edges/spine, would show signs of
obvious wear.
But the record/sleeve would still be acceptable
for somebody who wanted the
record and did not mind some sound/visual defects.
F There would be more extensive visible wear and/or damage to the
record/sleeve.
We might advertise ‘F’ where for eg. the record is
EX/VG+ or VG but the sleeve
is much more badly damaged or vice versa.
In general, we would not normally offer a record
or sleeve in this condition
accept in circumstances where the item has such
rarity value that it should
not be missed.
N.B. There will be instances where the general overall condition of a
sleeve or label is
EX or VG+ but either could have a slight tear (TOS/L) or some
writing (WOS/L) on it.
In which case the extent of this will be noted; eg. small;ink
marks; smears, etc.
Where mistakes occur and you feel that you have received a
misgraded record
please return it to us in reasonable time and we will refund
you the cost +postage.
AS IT IS A NEAR IMPOSSIBILITY TO CHECK EVERY LISTED RECORD FOR ITS
ENTIRE SOUND QUALITY WE GUARANTEE A FULL REFUND (including all
postage)
IF THE SOUND/VISUAL QUALITY IS IN ANY WAY UNSATISFACTORY.
