Description

GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE The message VINYL LP (Australia/New Zealand) RCA Victor VPL1 6650  (1982 – original pressing of one of the most important rap/hip hop records ever made. This actually looks to be a NZ pressing  which considering it’s small population, makes it even rarer. This copy in very nice condition. First released on Sugar Hill in  the US. Group from South Bronx, New York City.)

Record Grade: around VG+ to EX-
(Fairly clean with little light scratches here and there and odd light scuffs, but one side has some very mild haze around track 1 on the outer edge of the disc.)
Cover Grade: EX- to EX
(Really clean cover with no issues except for a bend to the top left hand corner of the cover - see pics.)

FREE SHIPPING TO AUSTRALIA (registered post on $20+ items)
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS NOTE: Import taxes are the responsibility of the buyer. Please be aware of these costs before bidding.  (International Postage terms: see below) Posted with vinyl outside of sleeve to prevent sleeve splits in transit. Packed in solid cardboard. Japanese pressings are usually heavier packages.

IMPORTANT: All records graded carefully under strong light. 

I have a long standing good reputation for grading and I use

the UK grading system which includes EX grades. I am used to

strict Japanese grading standards. If a disc is graded EX you

will not receive something that should be VG+. On the off chance

that happens, please contact me and I will sort it out.


International Postage: 

These discs are generally aimed at Australian buyers, 

but I have a lot of experience posting internationally.

Some items are set as AU/N.E. Asia only; some are Asia + UK/US/Europe.

International postage will be an $ AU 30 flat rate (air w/tracking)

(I'll cover the difference, including signature etc., and if actual postage 

does happen to come in lower I'll refund the difference back.)


If you would like to combine international postage on multiple items 

please wait for an invoice.



NOTE: I am going to be selling my own collection of clean

Japanese pressings with obi's and other discs this year.

Inc. a lot of  punk LPs + Blue Note jazz + Aussie bands 

I have 8 DJ cases, but I have issues with storage because my

wife and I have been relocating between Australia and Korea.  


Vinyl is visually graded only.  My sound system is still in storage in

another city.


Grading note: Very clean near mint records may sometimes have tiny

specks of dust or very small ultra thin fabric strands (which can sometimes

be mistaken for marks) on the vinyl, which come from the inside of 

inner sleeves. Both of these will likely be removed by the stylus on first play.

If I can, I send items out in anti-static inner sleeves to try to minimize

this.
