All records are cleaned before posting using both ultrasonic and vacuum record cleaning machines. It's the way I clean my own records and and I'm sure you'll appreciate the difference. IMO they sound superb!

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.
