AC/DC ?– T.N.T.

Rare and highly sought after Australian First issue.

The very earliest pressing of TNT, with a misprinted track listing on the back of the sleeve, corrected with a sticker, covering the incorrect track list.

Only the very earliest issues came with this error, as it was rectified very soon after release.

Very few of these survive today.

The sleeve is in VG condition, tears to the front - see pics

The vinyl record is VG+

Plays with exceptional audio quality.

The labels are Excellent

The added White sticker is in exceptional condition, these are plain white paper, and are often damaged, and / or very dirty.

I do have another one of these misprints currently listed, in NM / EX condition (purchased from the same source as this one) 

The previous owner ripped the cover on this one, when retrieving the records from wherever he stored them, so the rips are very recent    :(

(no repairs attempted, but the surfaces marry up well, and a good quality repair is possible.

Both issues were pre-ordered through the AC/DC Fan Club, by the previous owner, and his Brother in 1976.

All Pre-orders had the misprinted sleeve. (I can remember my friends eldest Brother (17) getting his one from the AC/DC Fan Club when I was 10 - an odd memory for a 10 year old, but  for some reason it stuck)

A few words about condition.

Grade & 
score out of 100
                                           GRADING
Mint is a Rigid Band - The next Four Grades are all Narrow Bands, that slightly widen as the condition gradually deteriorates - Good is still Good, but there is a rapid widening of the Grade Bands, as the condition deteriorates over the last Four grades.

MINT
100
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
Only graded on records that are sealed or clearly unplayed.
 
NEAR MINT
97 to 99        

EXCELLENT
90 to 96
The record shows virtually no signs of having been played,  there is no lessening in sound quality.

The cover and  packaging might have very slight wear. 
 
VERY GOOD PLUS
80 to 89

VERY GOOD
69 to 79
The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
The cover and  packaging might have slight wear, light creasing.

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects.
This is an above average used record, that has been well looked after.




GOOD
56 to 68
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, but the record will still play through, and it will not be a completely unpleasant listening experience, even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. 




FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. 
 
POOR
25 to 40
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. 
 
BAD
0 - 24
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
The Sleeve is non existent (0) or what is left, is only just recognisable.

A few words about postage.

Within Australia, the best value for multiple purchases is a 5KG satchel, where as many as 15 to 20 LPs can be posted for $22.00 registered post. (well packed in a box, inside the satchel)

My Policies on postage are simple.

I post at cost.
The user pays.
I package well.

Any item that you purchase without choosing the option of "Signed for" or "Registered" Post, is at your risk.
I do accept that "signed for" can be expensive, especially internationally, but whether you take the option of this insurance, is entirely up to you.
I do not wish to withdraw the option of standard postage for the cheaper records, but it must be at your risk.
