The Ocean Trading Requirements

For all trades I use Exact Audio Copy and quality media such as TDK, Kodak, Mitsui, Sony etc. Please ensure that you do the same when trading with me. I always burn DAO.

The majority of my shows should be clean but where possible I have noted on my website of any digi noise or index clicks and tics between tracks. I'd appreciate it if you could notify me of any digital flaws that may be present on shows that I request. However, if like me you've got a stack of shows waiting to be listened to, then I appreciate that this isn't always possible. If you come across unsatisfactory flaws within a show that I have traded with you then I will burn again or do a substitute show. I would appreciate the same back.

When trading I will always aim to get the shows out as quickly as possibly, usually within a couple of weeks but if longer I will always notify. Communication is the key.

For those new to trading I normally accept B&P or 2:1 trades, however, I do have a very busy life outside of trading so if I have to say no then I can only apologise

Blanks And Postage (B&P)

For obvious reasons I only accept B&P within the UK. Simply send me the required number of disks and a stamped self addressed bubble wrap envelope. Please do not send jewel cases instead put the cds in some of the paper or plastic sleeves available. Finally please include a note with your details including the shows that you want and your e-mail address. This is very important as it is the only record I will have of the trade.

Two For One (2:1)

Please select the agreed upon amount of cds that you wish from my list and then send me double the amount of quality disks. These will cover the cost of postage. Please do not send jewel cases instead put the cds in some of the paper or plastic sleeves available. Due to time constraints I now have to insist that you also include a self addressed return protective envelope. I will pay the postage. Finally please include a note with your details including the shows that you want and your e-mail address. This is very important as it is the only record I will have of the trade.

Hopefully all of the above is fairly clear but any questions then please give me a shout. Thanks.
