Description
Over the next few days, i will be listing about 80 vinyl records from my personal collection. I have been collecting records now for the last 20+ years and just over the last couple years i have been selling off that collection. Many of these vinyl's will be original releases, some will still have shrink and hype stickers intact and may have original inserts and all of them are rated in VG to NM condition all the way around from the cover to the vinyl itself. Several will also be limited edition reissues and many of those will be still factory sealed. A little bit about how i handle my vinyl collection. When i receive a record the first thing i do is to place the insert inside the cover if it came with one and was shipped outside. Next i always place the cover inside a brand new fresh 3mm plastic vinyl sleeve for protection. Next, i always clean the vinyl and play test it for any skips or noticeable popping sounds or other flaws. I make note of any scratches and how they effect the play back of the record. Once i am done grading the record, it goes in a brand new fresh audiophile sleeve to keep it in exactly the same condition as i received it in. Periodically i will play my records for my own listening pleasure but many go un-played after that initial play test and cataloging. Any time i play my record, i always clean it before each play and after each play to ensure it is kept in the best condition possible. I also clean the needle on my turn table before each play. As you can see, i take a lot of pride in my record collection and keeping it in the best condition possible so that when i do sell them, you will know exactly what you are buying and there are no surprises.
Today's auction is for an original 1982 EMI Release from Iron Maiden titled The Number of the Beast. Issued with a die cut card inner sleeve with rounded corners and including a photo montage, lyrics and credits. Track A4 appears as "22 Acacia Avenue" (the continuing saga of Charlotte the Harlot) on the inner sleeve. The sleeve does have about a 5" split on the right hand side. The first part of the runouts have EMC 3400 stamped, however the second two parts have etchings of "GIVE IT SOME HEADBUTTS" and "NICKZ". The cover itself is in G+ condition, it does have some splitting and paperloss on the spine as well as some light edgewear and creasing. The vinyl is in VG condition, it does have some light surface marks on both sides, i did hear a small skip on song1 of side 1 but other than that, no other skips when i played it.
