David Bowie - Heroes LP 1977 UK 1st Press Complete with insert
PRESSING DETAILS: PL 12522 UK 1st Press with (A-2 & B-2) matrix endings.
- Matrix / Runout (Etched Side A): [Crossed out: AFL-1-2522-A] I-24 PL-12522-A-2 A2 & 'sterling' stamped & 'gc' 'X1 W1' etched
- Matrix / Runout (Etched Side B): I-22 PL-12522-B-2 [Crossed out: (AFL-1-2522-B) A5 & 'sterling' stamped & 'gc' etched
SLEEVE: (EX) UK 1st press sleeve is stunning with very light wear from storage and use but there is a small biro 'x' in front top right corner (clearly shown in pictures). The sleeve has a glossy/shiny finish but is not laminated. The glue has come unstuck along the bottom edge near the opening edge. Truly excellent condition - see pictures!
INNER SLEEVE: (Near Mint) Plain white paper inner sleeve - not sure its the original with no wear.
RECORD LABELS: side 1 (EX) side 2 (NM) Clean labels with no writing and no stickers. A couple of light spindle marks noticeable when viewed under bright light close to the centre hole when angled under bright light. Side one has some scuffs on the bottom half as if the label has been rubbed - only visible when angled under bright light.
VINYL CONDITION VISUALLY: (EX+) Both sides are stunning have a couple of isolated light paper scuffs only visible when angled under bright light BUT there is a warp in one area from the edge about 3"wide and 2"long which makes the needle dip up and down about a centimetre once every turn. This is clearly visible when you watch the vinyl spinning but does not affect the playing or audio in any way!! This is visually more noticeable when playing the first couple of tracks on both sides but again does not affect the sound at all! I have discounted the price because of this.
Strict grading using Record Collector grading system. All records are sent in correct record mailers or cruciform box with cardboard stiffners and the vinyl removed for the the original inner and put in a new polylined inner sleeve outside of the cover to make sure no splits happen during delivery. All vinyl is sent tracked and signed for.
Any questions please do not hesitate to ask!
