An excellent copy of the US repressing of

New Order's debut album.

Some were pressed on Quiex II vinyl which appears

black until you hold it up to the light, when it becomes

translucent and coloured.

This pressing is the purple version. Very rare.



The condition of the playing surfaces is superb.

Both sides are beautifully glossy, dust and fingerprint free.


There a very few, very fine and superficial sleeve marks to both sides,

and one slightly more obvious, yet still extremely fine and superficial hairline on the A side.  

And one more obvious, but still superficial scuff at the end of Denial on the B side.

I have play tested these and there is absolutely no problem with play

or loss of sound quality in the slightest, which is excellent throughout.


The outer sleeve is in superb condition with the exception of a 25mm split on the top edge.

Please see the listing images.

Aside from this the sleeve is in excellent condition with only an incredibly small amount

of marking or discolouration. Considering it is made from a uncoated white stock and is

nigh on 40 years it's condition is quite remarkable.


The inner sleeve is the original, with the Factory cog logo and cat number printed in burgundy.




 

 

Unless otherwise stated every record was purchased by myself from new and only ever played

by myself on my own deck and with as expensive a cartridge as I could afford at the time.


When it comes to attributing a grading to each of my records I will confess I am not an expert.

And while both the Goldmine standard and The Record Collectors systems give us a number of agreed fundamentals

to help determine a grading for vinyl and its associated media, attributing a true and accurate grading to something as

individual as a pre-owned piece of Vinyl is unavoidably subjective.

One person's 'slight scuff' may be another's deal breaker.


With this in mind I will endeavour to describe as accurately as possible, in the descriptions of each listing,

not only what I feel to be a fair grading, but also an overall description of the record in question, along with details

of any and all marks, defects and anomalies I can see.


I am a firm believer in the maxim of - if you can feel it you can hear it.

So if there is anything that looks or feels like it may possibly affect a record's playing quality or sound clarity,

and therefore the pleasure derived from listening to it or its true value to a collector, I will give it one final spin

and make my findings known in the product description.


Over and above this I am happy to take returns.


I personally wouldn't bid on a pre-owned record without the option to return it if I felt that the seller hadn't been

totally truthful and transparent in their description of it, or that on receipt it didn't live up to my expectations. 

And I do not expect you to do so either. 

So please, feel free to bid with confidence.


I am a professional photographer by trade, and have gone to great lengths to light and photograph covers, inner sleeves

and the vinyl themselves in such a way as to show, as accurately as possible, the actual condition of all.

Rest assured that what you see is exactly what will be despatched to you if you are the successful winner of each listing.


Before photographing each record went through a three stage cleaning process:


1 - Removal of any surface dust with a light brushing over with a carbon fibre and velvet disc cleaning pad

2 - Deep cleaning with large (Big Fudge) velvet pad and cleaning solution

3 - A final brushing with a Pro-Ject carbon fibre record brush.


 

And finally, because Mr or Mrs  Poasty may not handle your record with the same care and reverence that you or I would,

I will dispatch in a specialised corrugated cardboard record mailing outer, and if I feel even more protection is required

I will also include two extra sheets of 3mm corrugated cardboard for added safety and protection.



Thanks for taking the time to read this and for showing an interest

in giving a new home to one of my records.


I have other listings live right now and will be adding new ones on a regular basis,

so please do take a peak and stay tuned for more. I will combine postage, so please do ask.
