Elliott Smith – Elliott Smith

People have to realise that we are dealing with 2nd hand vinyl, some of which are 50/60 years old. You can see what’s involved in producing a good clean vinyl record. For example, when we offer a record in "mint” condition, it will still be hard to match a new record. We do our best to give you (the client) a good quality product. All our records are ultrasonic cleaned and given a detailed examination, prior to grading. Our (inhouse) grading scale procedure is as follows:

Mint: If it's not scratched or badly worn, we class it as mint.
N. Mint: Even if it's slightly worn or has a very slight blemish, we class it as near mint.
Ex Con: It might have a couple of light scratches, etc.
VG+: It would have scratches or blemishes, but it should play through.
VG: It would have scratches and blemishes, but it should play through.
Good: It might be in rough condition, but because it could be a valuable record, we still process it.
Fair: We don't do fair condition!

We are happy to deal with customers from outside New Zealand, please email us in the first instance and we can take it from there.
