I sell some rarities from my collection. I collect records since over 50 years and try to do my best to grade correct.
I take back records if you are not satisfied, but shipping costs should be payed by you.Monster rare in this condition, plays with an full dynamic sound which is just unimaginable for that old records from that time. BEAUTIFULL.
ISLAND ILPS 9111
UK 1969
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS
RECORD: M-
Looks MINT-, only 2 or 3 totally non-sounding wispy sleeve traces/cleaning lines, only visible in strong angled light, from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover.
On side one a non audible, visible surface line, no hairscratches and no scratches.
Plays with very dynamic sound, surface is clean and shiny as new.
I know the problem to find a copy from this record which plays perfect, this one plays also in the very calm parts nearly realy perfect, nearly no ambient noise like clicks or crackles.
Only in the long calm intro on side two, in the middle part for a few seconds you can hear very very little noise, and of coarse a bid on the first inlet grooves on both sides, but this is more noise from sliding friction from cartridge needle in the groove, but is not much.
It will be hard to find a better one
From electrostatic charge sometimes only dust can be seen on the pictures I made from vinyl.
MATRIX A2/ 12 34 and B3/ 11 14
COVER: M- to EX
Minimal corner and edge wear, shop label on back, from the old time when it was bought, little symbol on backcover left top
NEARLY NO SPINDLE WEAR
Grading :
Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations"). Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects
EX is something between VG+ or M- the record plays mainly M- but looks more Vg+
Very Good Plus (VG+) . A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint-. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
Very Good (VG) Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. It is a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.
