Description

 I am continuing to offer records from my life long collection due to lack of space. All records have been play tested & will be cleaned with a proper wet vacuum cleaner & where necessary treated with  Milty anti static gun, & popped into a new anti static sleeve.

Joy Division : Closer

YEAR   :   1980

FORMAT : Vinyl

CAT NUMBER : FACT .XXV

Record Label : Factory Records

GRADE / VINYL : VG +

GRADE / SLEEVE : VG +

GENERAL CONDITION :

Both labels are spotless, with just 1 or 2 light spindle lines. The record looks great, a deep glossy black with 1 or 2 superficial marks & hairlines, which have absolutely no impact on playback. This is the version with rounded corners on the inner sleeve, & although the vinyl looks black in normal light it is actually a translucent red, which can be seen if the record is held in front of a strong light.  It plays great with fantastic sound quality, very low background noise floor, with no jumps, pops or clicks, save for 2 light clicks at the very end of side 1 track 1. There is very minor crackle in places but only between tracks, apart from the quietest parts of side 2 track 3. I must stress that this noise would probably not be heard by most people, & I only hear it because I have a very revealing system & a very expensive moving coil cartridge that lets me hear everything that is there. I have been purposely been conservative with my grading for this record, but it plays more like an EX, but in all conscience I downgrade any record has visible marks, even if they do sound much better than the grade I give.
The cover is in generally in good shape, the corners & spine are still good, the only negative is there is some wear to the opening side of the cover. The original inner is almost unmarked, just a small amount of foxing that all these LP's appear to suffer from.There are no rips, stains, stickers, writing or creases, an all round great copy of this terrific LP.
I am happy for buyers to collect, for those unable to do so I offer 1st class UK posting.
Please note I will not post overseas due to past problems.

Thank you for looking, & happy bidding.

I make no money from postage and packing costs, and items are always insured to correct value. Collection from BH22 near Bournemouth is also welcome.
