Iron Maiden The Number Of The Beast UK 1982  VG+/EX A2 B2 Headbutts Matrix VG/VG

 Good playable copy with marks on vinyl but no skips and still listenable with some background noise on quiet parts. 

 

1982 Press on EMI

Matrix/Runout Side 1: EMC3400 A-2 'GIVE IT SOME HEADBUTTS'

Matrix/Runout Side 2: EMC3400 B-2 'NICKZ'

 

Vinyl Audio Test VG 

Listened to in full on Audio Technica deck through Studio monitors: 

Both sides play with no skips. 

There is background noise/crackles between tracks and on quieter parts (e.g. intros to TNOTB, The Prisoner + Hallowed..) but still a very listenable copy. 

             


Vinyl Visual Inspection/Bright Light:  Good


Lots of visible hairlines, some light scratches and a few larger marks/scratches.  

Has been reasonably well cared for but obviously enjoyed and played and handled lots. 


Vinyl Labels EX

Some spindle wear and 'miss' marks but no major marks.

 

Outer Sleeve VG+

Front and back excellent with great sheen, no marks and only a few indentations. 

Spine has areas of moderate wear, but all writing is clear. 

Edges have some age related wear but nothing major. 

No splits Front and back covers great, no major marks, no creases, no rips or splits. 


Original Band Pic/Lyrics Inner Good+

Original die-cut inner sleeve. 

Has a couple of clear repairs where it's been torn. 

No major damage to pics or printed lyrics. 

No splits.


Vinyl Care/Preparation

I hand-clean every vinyl listed using L'Art Du Son cleaning solution using a goat-hair vinyl brush and suitable cloths and vacuuming off the liquid.   This removes old grease, dust etc. to improve the playback quality. This does sometimes leave residue marks, but these don't affect play. 

Once cleaned, I 'buff' the Vinyl using a very soft cleaning-cloth, then place it into an anti-static black sleeve. This sleeve is supplied with the Vinyl you buy. 

I also carefully clean and dry the Vinyl outer sleeves to remove old finger marks, dirt and dust. Once done the sleeves are placed into a PVC sleeve to keep them nice and clean, they are shipped with the plastic sleeve. 

Vinyls are then listened to end-to-end before grading, in order to make sure they don't skip etc. BEWARE VISUAL-ONLY GRADINGS...some Vinyls that look Near Mint to the eye have skips, others that look marked play near-perfectly. I've learned that you can't grade a Vinyl without listening to it :)
