yeah, i've just had a reply from him and he's saying no refunds. will let ebay/paypal decide the outcome. Sillicone spray makes sense, like what is used on 80's car bumpers to bring them back to black. i've had this before. Bought a Fleur de Lys 7" a few years ago and he's done the same. record played fine though so didn't mind.
this record however is well worn. bg hiss throughout. sounds not to bad on a mono player, on a stereo one, awful. graded ex FFS.
