HIM Love Metal double LP gatefold - rare gold/bronze vinyl Ville Valo goth rock

	£		69
	$		91

This auction is for a rare vinyl record of HIM's Love Metal, released on Golden Brown vinyl in 2014 by The End Records. This is a double LP with gatefold sleeve and printed inner sleeves. The inners are double sided and have the usual credits, liner notes and lyrics. This remastered recording has the full album on sides A and B and live tracks and alternative versions of some songs on the C and D sides.
This is not a numbered release as far as I can tell but seems to be demanding some pretty high prices on the discogs marketplace, so this is a good opportunity to pick up a fairly rare pressing of the album.

I purchased this record online not long after it was released and it has been stored upright in a sleeve since then. I've played it a handful of times since then and have not noticed any background noise, jumps or skips in the playback. 
Condition wise, the record is in great shape. The discs are glossy and free from scratches. They would benefit from a clean and are a little dusty. The corners of the sleeve are a little creased but nothing serious. On the reverse of the sleeve there are some scratches and scuffing that I've photographed. The inner sleeves are in great condition, with no splits and only minor wear to the edges. The centre labels for sides A and C are a little damaged, it looks like rippling to the sticker surface, but it is definitely not water damage as I've kept the record away from any spills etc.
Please see below for details on postage. Thanks and good luck!

I do not accept offers to end auctions early. The auction format is the most effective and fair and I will not respond to offers to end the listing for a buy price. Unless the listing is buy it now or best offer format, the auction will run to the end and go to the highest bidder.
