FACTORY Records FACTUS 6
Original 1981 issue Stereo LP
Original 'Rough' Textured Cover Original Textured Custom Inner 'Monster Heads' etched in Dead Wax

VINYL is NEAR MINT / NEAR MINT -
High Gloss Vinyl, super-clean both sides. Side 1 is NM, Like New. Side 2 has one faint hairline near beginning of side that is inaudible (NM-).
.
COVER is VG+
Snapping bright, spanking clean 'rough' open texture delicate cover is remarkably free of soil, discoloration, moisture effects, rub marks, creases or wear. Crisp and solid with straight edges and sharp corners all around. Small mark from removed sticker in u.r. corner is only real blemish - this is only a slightly darker rectangular spot; NO residue, paper remains, tears or pull to the cover surface - but because it is there I am grading at VG+. Top seam and spine completely intact with no wear or splits. Bottom seam same except for a tiny (1/16th") split at opening edge - barely noticeable. Sharp, clear Spine titles, 100% legible.

*Please excuse any 'grainy' look to pictures (...from low-light photos).

ALL OTHER COUNTRIES
*actually, I am now allowing shipping to some other select countries
(I got stiffed big-time on some very expensive Prog/Psych LPs recently from a few bad apples in some European locations) - Man that really hurt! I am being especially careful now. eBay only allows blocking an entire country to exclude scary regions. (ie: I would be happy to ship to France EXCEPT for Isle de France (where almost all bogus 'NOT RECEIVED' cases come from ... but sadly I have to block France entirely to avoid those scams.

***LOOK at the "SHIPS TO" section under the SHIPPING AND PAYMENTS tab near the top of this page.

...if Your country is NOT LISTED in the EXCLUDED Countries List there, then I can - and will ship to any and all honest buyers in all other countries that I know I can TRUST.  ...any questions, feel free to ask.

I have NEVER, in over 30 years here,ever had any trouble from Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, Sweden, Taiwan, South Korea, or some others. I know this LP has international appeal, so again, check the EXCLUDED countries list. If yours is NOT on that list, I can ship to you.
As for the countries that are ON that excluded list ...well, some buyers in those countries simply ruined it for the rest.
My international shipping is at EXACT POSTAGE COST ONLY, you should see 2 rates to choose from. Any questions? shoot me a message - I always respond to any sane request.

CUSTOMS costs are the responsibility of the Buyer. I NO LONGER risk going to prison for putting false low values or pretending the package is a "gift". Please don't ask me for that. THANKS!
