DIRE STRAITS - HALF-SPEED MASTERED AUDIOPHILE ~ SEALED!
Hi, you are bidding on the following record:
Dire Straits - Dire Straits (Vertigo, HS 9102 021, 1982)
Original, sealed half-speed mastered audiophile pressing of Dire Strait's debut album. These audiophile pressings were limited from the get-go and are quite difficult to find, let alone in this pristine, sealed condition.
Small list of varied records. Lots of imports and NM/Sealed material in all genres (including audiophile material), so please check my other auctions for more!
Condition of Vinyl: SS (Still Sealed) Like many audiophile imports, this came in a taped poly-bag and not in traditional "shrink wrap."
Condition of Cover: NM (Near Mint) Sleeve is perfect, very stiff.
GRADING
I grade audibly and visually using the goldmine scale as a template. Grades are very strong. Bid with confidence.
NM : Highest grade. No audible flaws and at most one or two very, very faint sleeve scuffs visible only under the brightest light.
EX : No audible flaws but vinyl may have a few visible scuffs.
VG + : Vinyl may have visible scuffs and some faint/light surface noise in very few parts (or in between tracks) but not more than 15-20% of the record is flawed in this manner. A very strong and playable grade. My VG+ is much stronger than most sellers.
VG : Vinyl may have visible scuffs and some surface noise in parts but no more than a couple pops. Record will be enjoyable and may even be a file copy, but the most stringent collector may want to upgrade in the future.
VG- : Vinyl has visible scuffs and surface noise. Some pops and maybe a skip. A listenable record.
G : Vinyl is playable but has some major visible and audible wear. Used only for very rare records.

PAYPAL eBay does not allow payments in other forms. Contact me if you have any questions.
NOTE #1: If you have low feedback and live outside of North America I may not be able to sell to you (for my own protection). Please contact me if you have any questions.
