DESCRIPTION: Ash Ra Tempel- Join Inn. Fully laminated sleeve. This is an amazing Lp, particularly side 2. My own copy for many years until a very recent upgrade.  Has been kept in an anti-static sleeve inside the white inner. More Ash Ra Tempel to come in next few days: LABEL AND CATALOGUE NUMBER: OHR OMM 556032: YEAR OF RELEASE: 1973. COUNTRY OF RELEASE: Germany: CONDITION (VINYL/COVER): EX/EX. Vinyl is really clean with a deep, dark  sheen. From a visual point of view I would be unsure whether to grade the vinyl EX+ or NM. Played the majority of this this morning on my budget deck. Ive obviously played it through a few times over the years, it has no significant issues at all. I will play it all in the next few days just to confirm and will upgrade the listing. Sits flat on the turntable. Plays really well. Music is clean, clear  and loud.  Side A sounds  immaculate and the beautiful kosmische/ambient side 2 has only an occasional tick, the music is clear and loud throughout. Cover is in great shape.  It is firm and square and has only light edge wear, corner wear and negligible creasing.   It has a couple of areas of wear to opening rear edge preventing higher grade. Hardly any laminate lift front or back- check out the photos- this has much less laminate lift than the copy currently being auctioned by a well known German seller as MINT-. Really clean labels- check out the photos. No writing, rips, stickers or sticker tears. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER KRAUT/PSYCH/METAL/CLASSIC/HARD ROCK LISTINGS IN MY EBAY SHOP. Grading system: I use UK’s “Record Collector” Grading system. I DO PLAY EVERY RECORD I LIST NOW even though its often just quite briefly. Please bear in mind you may get a touch of background sound, even if its just on intros and between the tracks on 30-40 year old vinyl records!! :: MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface mark or deterioration in the sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in the sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. VERY GOOD: 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, is acceptable. GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. I will at times use a + or - to indicate when a record falls between the grades. I REMOVE ALL VINYL FROM SLEEVES PRIOR TO POSTING. RECORDS ARE SENT IN BEST QUALITY MAILERS WITH 2 STIFFENERS. I ALWAYS COMBINE POSTAGE BUT COST DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON WEIGHT OF PACKAGE.
