Description
*I am currently selling a collection of Heavy Metal and rock LPs, predominantly from the mid 70’s to the early 90’s but with the odd outlier thrown in. All well looked after and some real rarities. I combine shipping and always remove the vinyl from the sleeve before packing and posting. Where anything other than a generic white inner is present, the vinyl is always placed in a brand new white inner to preserve the original. Brand new ‘clear glass’ plastic sleeves are added to all LPs. I describe items accurately as I know how disappointing it is to receive a much anticipated record where flaws have been glossed over or gone unmentioned. I try to listen to each record before describing it but if I don’t have time I will listen to selected parts to gauge the level of background noise and I will always listen to any passages where there are surface marks to judge the impact these have. I always give positive feedback after payment so the customer is able to give feedback purely judged on the service once they have received the item. If you are unhappy in any way I will refund with no questions asked. Thank you for your interest in this listing and please check out my other records.*

Annihilator
Alice in Hell
Roadrunner 1989 RR9488
Lovely copy of Annihilator’s highly regarded debut album.
Sleeve is a sharp, vibrant Excellent copy and the inner is Excellent+, close to Mint.
The vinyl is a solid Excellent+ on side B but side A has what looks like a production flaw - it looks like a scrape which diagonally crosses the playing surface from halfway through track 3 (the awesome WTYD!) to the end. The vinyl still plays fine - WYTD has no background interference whatsoever. In the gap between this and the next track, Wicked Mystic, there is slight interference (more a very low pitched ‘drag’ rather than a click as the needle crosses the flawed section) but as soon as the music starts it’s inaudible. This slight interference can again be heard between Wicked Mystic and Burns like a Buzzsaw Blade which again, once the music starts, has no impact on what is a great ending to Side A.
Therefore, although the mark looks quite startling, it has very little effect on the playback and this remains an Excellent overall vinyl in terms of audio.
