All of the above gradings may have either "+" or "-" to reflect their condition more accurately.

Wherever possible we listen to the vinyl to give an accurate appraisal of it's condition. Due to a lack of time available some records will have been visually graded. We always try to give an honest opinion as to their condition. If you would like us to listen to any items please feel free to contact us.
