I've been collecting music for about 40 years now. I've been contributing to the database for 10+ years.
UKRAINE SITUATION:
I no longer sell to Russia or Belarus due to Russian's agression against Ukraine. I am also not selling to countries who have either not condemned Russia's actions, or actually support Russia, including Brazil, China, Cuba, India, Iran, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Syria, and Venezuela.
Paypal stopped operating in Russia from March 5, Discogs on March 22:

SELLER EXPERIENCE:
I know what the buyer or a serious collector expects of the items and packaging. I've bought myself from dozens of sellers, at Discogs and elsewhere. I know what it feels like to receive an item in VG condition when you expected Mint. Years ago I also sold records on eBay. On Discogs I started selling CD's in November 2017 and added vinyl in June, 2018. I am based in Finland.
STRICT GRADING:
My grading is quite strict. I do my best to meet the Discogs grading standards.
If an item I'm selling is sealed it is mentioned specifically so in the description. A "Mint" sleeve does not indicate 'sealed' (but it does mean there are no flaws).
ACTUAL COST ONLY:
I charge for shipping only what the Finnish postal service charges me, no additional handling or Paypal charges. Paypal transaction fee is on me.
To ensure that LP/12" sleeves don't get damaged, I use quality parcels made for purpose. Check my Seller Terms for details (link is on my shop page). The parcel costs 0.65€ and is included in the charges you see in the cart.
COMBINED SHIPPING:
Combined shipping is available. Unfortunately, if you order various formats, the Discogs shopping cart rarely calculates the combined shipping correctly. Typically, the cart shows my default shipping charge for a large parcel - which is possibly too high. But fear not, I will refund the excess shipping cost. You can obviously also send me a message before ordering.
TIPS:
If you are able to place my items in the shopping cart (items are not greyed out), I ship to your country.
International flight connections are not what they used be pre-covid, so long delays in delivery times can occur (and are beyond my control).
Sanctions on Russia may cause delays to delivery, especially to Asia.
Save on postage by removing CD jewel cases. Some basic options are shown in cart.
NOTE: If the CD wasn't released in a jewel case, the 'jewel case removed' shipping option should not be chosen!
Feel free to combine formats (check from me the exact shipping before paying).
There is a minimum order value limit of 3.98€, excluding shipping.
I pack well - Check my feedback.
Your postal address at Paypal should match with your address at Discogs - to avoid major headaches.
One CD to Europe is 5,85€, one 7" is 5,85€, one LP/12" is 15,65€.

Oh my dog, how bad is this? These "monks" seducing you with "voulez-vous, take it now or leave it," I'm converted! I can picture the lame disco band jamming in some cathedral... Apparently it's 'Gregorian' if you sing monotonously like a robot and add...

"Twist" happens to be one of my favourite Tikaram tracks and AH one of my favourite albums, if that's what you mean by 'liking'. In general, how can anyone like a track more if is sourced from MP3 or if it is relatively 4dB louder than the other tracks?

Sorry, but "Twist" being sourced from MP3 and being 4dB louder isn't a 'point of view'.

Many tracks in the set are unfortunately from a lossy source. The most obvious case is CD4 "The Language of Love" where all tracks are affected. See the disabled images. The new album "Cutting Room Floor" is unaffected (only #9 "Flowers" is suspicious).

What's the sound quality like? Loud, brickwalled? Any Vinyl rips?

This is quite wonderful. Sound quality is top notch. This is fully mixed, with sound effects going left<>right, not some quick soundboard rip. Versions of the tracks are long and almost all differ quite a lot from the album versions. The albums are...
