Description

AN ULTRA RARE LP FROM TURKEY!

CIRCUS 2000 - SAME LP on DISKOTUR PROMO RED LABEL!

I have not seen a PROMO copy of this album. It's apparent that the main edition was either pressed in a very limited amount, or, maybe it sold zilch hence its seriously high level of rarity. Their two singles released here sold enough to pop up every once in a while but apparently noone cared for the LP in Turkey at the time. You just cannot ever find this LP! It is different than its Italian original in that it features the same photo-graphic of the Italian edition but actually the Italian edition shows a "negativated" photograph where you cannot see the faces of the members but on this Turkish edition the very original photograph was used and overall, the design is also a bit different. The label here, Diskotur, legally released this album (as I was told, there was some sort of family connection with the wife of the label's boss and a band member) and after all the years, for the first time, I see that the label have also pressed a promotional copy with apt promo label. Diskotur was one of the few labels to print special promo labels for promotional copies. Anyway, there you go. Cover is EX/EX+. It is also a TEST PRESS COVER, look like a GATEFOLD, but there is no information/picture on inside. Disc also has super shiny grooves and look like never played!. I'll also grade Mint-!.

Grading :

M
(MINT)
Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. I do not use this grade, as even the act of inserting the disc or removing it from the paper sleeve may cause scuff marks on the vinyl.

NM or M-
(NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS)
This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.

E or VG++
(EXCELLENT or VERY GOOD ++)
Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.

VG+
(VERY GOOD PLUS)
Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.

VG
(VERY GOOD)
Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.

G
(GOOD)
Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.
