Picture Sleeve,EP,LP grading ; record first, than sleeve!

Record grades:

M Mint ------------ Clean as a whistle

M- Mint Minus ------ A few light scratches here and there

VG Very Good --- Some popping and surface noise, scratching in places , but still a pretty good copy

G Good ---------- This record doesn’t skip, has surface popping, and ,or noise, but will fill the collection until a better copy comes along.

Concerning the above grades: I grade conservatively. Records I sell are in good to mint condition. Always remember that "good" does not mean bad !! A record in good condition means that it has given it's owner many hours of listening pleasure. But these vinyl treasures are not like fine wine ! Their condition does not improve with age ! They are more akin to a pair of your favorite walking shoes. They may have lost some of their polish , and they may look a little rough around the edges , but when you put them on , they make you feel pretty darn good. So too with a record in good condition. They may have label imperfections and some pops and scratches here and there , but nothing that distracts too significantly from ones listening enjoyment.

Make your selections from the following list , then “E” mail me at reo1243@aol.com , or call me at 734-425-4931 ; and, if you prefer, write me at Roys Record Cave , P.O.Box 510840, Livonia MI, 48151-6840 . All payments via U.S check,cash,money order. Shipping & handling will be added to total.
