Hi and Welcome!

Here for sale is Drive By Truckers - Decoration Day 2007 Special Edition on 2 Discs.

Imported from the USA, Special edition NW5006,  pressed on excellent  HQ 180gram x 2 vinyl LPs. Not now available on the New West website. Vinyl has been played no more than 7 times since purchase.

PLAY TESTED and Graded according to the Record Collector's Grading System (see end of listing for Grading categories and their descriptions).

My Grading for this album is Vinyl :EX    Cover : Ex+

The vinyl looks pretty much as it did when it was first opened. An excellent sheen but in common with the other Drive by Truckers 180g pressings purchased new by me, there are marks which were introduced at the pressing plant, but which are merely cosmetic and do not, themselves, affect the sound quality.

Having played all 3 sides through, Side 1 played with no faults, on side 2 there there was an occasional, short surface crackle heard and there were 3 low level clicks on track 2 , 2 low level clicks on track 3.

I heard no faults on side 3.

Side 4 is 'blank' i.e. No music is pressed on this side.

The record labels are in excellent condition.

The fold out cover is in really excellent condition (see photos).

This album is from my personal collection of 500+ Vinyl  LP Records, which I have very rarely played since the 2010's vinyl, after purchasing  a better digital playback system.

Every record that I sell will have been cleaned on a Moth Mk. 2 record cleaning machine, using 'The One' cleaning fluid, which is then vacuumed off by the machine (they often don't look as though they need a clean but sometimes there are impurities left behind in the pressing process, so I feel it's always worth doing).

I  will have listened to each record, prior to listing it, and have then graded it, along with the cover and any inserts/ booklets etc.

I have done my best to give an accurate and honest description of their condition. Hopefully, this will lead to little or no disappointments for the buyer and myself.

Records will be despatched with the vinyl in an archival quality anti-static, anti-dust/dirt, anti-scratch inner sleeve,  the album cover inside a polythene outer sleeve, all inside a double walled cardboard mailer.

UK deliveries only. Sorry, but I will not mailing to addresses outside of the UK.

Record Collectors Grading System

Mint (M) 

The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX)

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG)

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable.

Good (G)

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

Fair (F)

The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Poor (P)

The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

Bad (B)

The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
