Description
I play grade all of the records that are offered in my listings. Firstly I clean the vinyl thoroughly on my record vacuum machine, then play the whole album from beginning to end. While listening, I take notes of anything that may be a problem and if significant I will mention it in my listing. My aim in doing this is to assure you that the record you receive will be as described.
Relisting because of an idiot non-paying bidder. Why these morons do this is beyond me.
Anyway, here is -
Coverdale & Page
Self Titled
Original UK Pressing - 1993
Label - EMI
Cat No. EMD 1041
Side 1 - EMD 1041 A-01-01-1
Side 2 - EMD 1041 B-01-01-1
I bought this when it came out in 1993 and played it several of times. It has been stored away for the last 25-26 years.
Condition: -
Original laminated cover is in Excellent Plus condition. There is a tiny bit of rubbing and tiny creasing on the edges.
The original inner sleeve is in Excellent Plus condition. No splits.
Labels are in Excellent condition. Small amount of spindle marks.
The vinyl is in Near Mint Minus condition. There is a light mark on side one that does not sound at all. There is also a mark running through the first track on side two that doesn't sound until the very last dying seconds of the song, where there is a mild click for several revolutions. Otherwise, it plays through faultlessly and dead quiet between tracks. Sound quality is superb, powerful and distortion free.
Vinyl has been cleaned on my Project VCS record cleaning machine using L'Art du Sol cleaning fluid and is housed in a Nagaoka anti-static sleeve to prevent withdrawal marks to the records surface. The album will be housed in a clear poly bag for protection.
Grading Guide
Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.
Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.
Excellent (E) – A grade just below NM where light marks can be tolerated, where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.
Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.
Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly used.
Good (G) – The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death.
Any questions, please ask.
Record will be well packed. I always remove the record from the outer sleeve when posting.
Please leave positive feedback once you have received the item and are happy with your purchase, and I will do the same for you.
Happy bidding.
