Description
*I am currently selling a collection of Heavy Metal and rock LPs, predominantly from the late 70’s to the early 90’s but with the odd outlier thrown in. All well looked after and some real rarities. I combine shipping and always remove the vinyl from the sleeve before packing and posting. Where anything other than a generic white inner is present, the vinyl is always placed in a brand new white inner to preserve the original. Brand new ‘clear glass’ plastic sleeves are added to all LPs. I describe items accurately as I know how disappointing it is to receive a much anticipated record where flaws have been glossed over or gone unmentioned. I try to listen to each record before describing it but if I don’t have time I will listen to selected parts to gauge the level of background noise and I will always listen to any passages where there are surface marks to judge the impact these have. I always give positive feedback after payment so the customer is able to give feedback purely judged on the service once they have received the item. If you are unhappy in any way I will refund with no questions asked. Thank you for your interest in this listing and please check out my other records.*

Outer sleeve is in Excellent condition with minor rubbing on the spine and spine corners (see photos). The inner sleeve is also in Excellent condition with only minor evidence of handling and no splits. A very solid copy.
The vinyl retains a vivid sheen and plays through with amazing clarity with only very light static here and there. Visually there are some ‘swirls’ visible at some angles. These are not scratches and don’t hinder the wonderful playback at all. The labels are Mint with no spindle wear at all, suggesting the record has had very little play.
Overall a great copy of this sought after original release.
