Description
DESCRIPTION: This is a UK original test pressing of 'Time Tells No Lies' by Praying Mantis. This test pressing is unique in that it has been cut from the very first (A//1 B//1) lacquers and has a different running order of the tracks compared to the commercial release, which was cut from the second (A//2 B//2) lacquers.
The vinyl looks near-mint and plays loud and clear - no loud pops, annoying tics or skips.
This did not originally come with a cover, and was simply housed in a poly-lined inner sleeve, which has the correct '81' (1981) date code. The inner sleeve has discoloured slightly with age, but all seams are intact.
SHIPPING: I do not use eBay's Global Shipping Program; the shipping costs quoted in my listings are the actual cost of shipping from the UK. I do not profit from shipping and I always refund any overpayment for shipping. I do ship internationally, but note that the shipping cost quoted in the listing is for international shipping to the US. For other destinations, please contact me for a shipping quote or, alternatively, just pay the automatic invoice that you will recieve and I will refund any overpayment.
GRADING: Unless a record is sealed, I play-grade everything on a high-end turntable. My grading is strict, so even if you are buying a 'VG+' record from me, the chances are that you are actually buying a very nice keeper copy. Nevertheless, grading is quite subjective; so, if you feel that I haven't graded something properly, please contact me immediately. As a collector of vinyl myself, I know how important customer satisfaction is and I will do everything I can to resolve any issues.
PACKAGING: I do not charge for packaging costs. All records are packed well in sturdy record mailers with additional cardboard for protection. To prevent any seam splits during transit, I always ensure that records are packed outside of their covers.
