OPETH “Still Life” original 2lp set UNplayed!!
2002/Peaceville-DLPVILE78….This is a gorgeous original 2lp set of this rare lp! The thick gatefold cover is in excellent to M- condition, the top seams have 1" of slight wear/cracking at the center, very minor, there is also a bit of a rub/wear on the lower front edge near the right side, again nothing major, solid and clean with no splits or other issues. Both records are UNplayed! Includes custom inner sleeves. A gorgeous copy for any collection! Please check my auctions for other Opeth, Porcupine Tree, psych, rock and prog lp’s. Thanks for looking and good luck should you decide to bid!
Like most of the band's albums, Still Life features the combination of death metal and progressive rock elements that is characteristic of Opeth's music style. With this album, vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt's death growl began to deepen considerably relative to the band's earlier albums. Still Life continues the band's experimentation with dynamics, and most songs contain at least two drastic dynamic shifts. The song "Benighted" is the only acoustic track, containing a blues-influenced guitar solo. This is also one of the band's few songs that follow a linear song structure, containing verses and a chorus. "Face of Melinda" is, for the most part, another ballad; while it does not contain death metal vocals, it does contain guitar riffs that are typical of the band's heavier songs. A fretless bass guitar along with brushes in place of conventional drumsticks were used in "Face of Melinda" to give it a jazzier sound.
Please DO NOT bid if you don't plan to follow through with the transaction Satisfaction Guaranteed. I have been selling records by mail order for 25+ years. Check my feedback and bid with confidence!
///GRADING///
MINT: I consider New Unplayed or Sealed items only.
M- or Mint Minus, very clean with clean visual appearance and sound, there may be a couple of light inaudible hairline scuffs or such and will be mentioned in the listing, a Mint- record looks and plays very clean. Same for the cover. Very clean with no delete or other issues.
EXCELLENT: between VG++ and M- , still very collectable for most, visually and sonicly clean. A handful of light inaudible scuffs, or hairlines. Cover will be clean with little wear, or delete. No splits.
VG++ still a very nice copy with minimal wear, the vinyl will retain it's original gloss and can have some minor scuffs/scratches that don't affect play very much. Cover will have slight shelf wear, and or delete, minor split.
VG+ the vinyl will still retain much original gloss with a bit more scuffs and/or scratches I may list a very rare or desirable item with a lower grade, I will try to list all defects.
