We try to grade as accurately as possible in accordance

with the guidelines laid down by Record Collector

magazine.
 

We don't use the Mint grade as we consider that if a record

has been played then it can't be described as Mint. Having

said that, many of the records we grade as EX would be

described as Mint by other dealers. Our EX grade describes

a record or cover in very clean condition - no marks or

scratches.
 

We do use NEX (near excellent) as a grade to describe a

record or cover which has only minor flaws to prevent it

being described as EX.

Our VG (very good) records and covers are genuinely VG

and not the Ebay disasters and trashed rubbish which far

too many dealers describe as VG!!

Where our 45s have been graded at VG or less then we will

have played the record to ensure that it produces a

reasonable sound. Lots of those old 45s can look awful but

play great. Must have been the vinyl they used!

If you want specific detail about the condition of a record

or cover feel free to contact us by e-mail or on the phone.

In any event, we guarantee all our stock and if you are

unhappy we will be happy to arrange a refund.
