Collectable Records & Music Magazines Auction - SpinAuctions Australia

All records are first of all visually examined and this method is used to generally grade each item.
Where distinct imperfections are noted, these are checked audibly and shown under "Notes".
Where records do not have a picture sleeve, the original record company paper sleeve will be provided, whenever possible.

PLEASE NOTE: If you purchase an item from the auction and it does not match the grading
given in the auction, a full refund for the item may be granted, provided that the item is returned within
30 days of the auction's closing date, and that the item remains in EXACTLY the same condition
as it was first shipped from the auction.

These abbreviations are used to describe vinyl, and where applicable, picture sleeve.
An individual grading for each side of the record will be given, with general surface condition shown first, followed by any
extra features/faults. None of the records offered on this website should jump or skip when played on suitable equipment
with a stylus in reasonable condition.

eg. M-/TOL/VG/DC indicates that the surface of side one of this record is Mint Minus and that part of the label has been torn.
The surface of side two is Very Good and there is some discolouration to side two's label.

M	Mint: As New, showing no wear whatsoever. Still has virgin "shine" or gloss.
M-	Has some slight surface marks, usually caused by dust "etching". No audible marks. If used to describe a sleeve, indicates minor blemishes. Still has virgin "shine" or gloss.
VG	Shows some obvious signs of being played more than once. Surface marks may be audible in softer passages. Still a very good item. If used to describe a sleeve, indicates general wear and tear.
G	Although still quite playable, this item has heavy wear and tear. Numerous surface marks may cause noises such as pops, clicks etc. But overall, still quite bearable. If used to describe a sleeve, indicates folding, cracked edges, heavy signs of tape used for repair etc.
P	In poor condition, will still play but its value is purely to fill a gap in your collection until something better becomes available. If used to describe a sleeve, it's better than nothing at all (!), but not much more.
