MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND - GLORIFIED MAGNIFIED
1st UK pressing on the Philips Label 6308125
Stamper Matrixes: 1Y1 and 2Y1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some general remarks: Belongs into any serious collection of great classics. This is the very first UK pressing of their debut album.
I grade my records on top notch equipment, using the expensive Lyra Kleos MC-cartridge. It reveals everything from any Vinyl which sometimes can be a curse, especially with 40+ year old records. When I grade a record as Excellent, I am pretty sure many other sellers would not hestitate to call it Near Mint. When I give a record the "Near Mint" grading it is practically flawless. I am collecting Vinyl since 35+ years and own hundreds of records from the day they came into the shops. I clean all records on my Keith Monks RCM II and add the Nagaoka N102 protective sleeve to each record.
The Vinyl: EXCELLENT+
The surfaces are clean and shiny. A few wispy hairlines when held into strong light. Playback is loud, vibrant and dynamic.
The Labels: EXCELLENT+
A few wispy spindle traces only.
The non-laminated Gatefold-Sleeve: EXCELLENT+
Original first Sleeve, slightest age wear (this is a white sleeve and very hard to preserve), no splits, no creases, spine is strong and clearly readable. I doubt there is a better one out there.
Plain White Inner Sleeve: NEAR MINT
No splits, no creases, clean.
A beautiful and fantastic sounding 1st UK-pressing and highly recommended.
In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to mail me. I will answer promptly.
Due to the somehow weird eBay policies regarding postage please ignore the postage fee listed above. I decided to fix shipping at 7 GBP to anywhere in Europe and 9 GBP to the rest of the world. This includes the fees for "signed for/registered" and also Insurance to make sure the record arrives safely. It also allows to track it during its transit. The record ships from Germany.
Payment is required within 3 working days after auction ended.
I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
Good luck.
