Description
Artist: Queen Title: Queen ll Label: EMI Cat No: EMA 767 (XAX 4736) Year: 1974 Country: UK
I am in the process of selling my Record Collection, I always purchased the best copies I could find and looked after them carefully. Some I only played once. This is the rare 1974 1st ever UK issue of `Queen ll` with "p 1974 Trident Audio Productions Ltd" at the top of both labels with corrected matrix and fully laminated G&L gatefold Sleeve, rare because you are buying Queen ll as it was released into the shops the very first day here in the UK - Matrix: White Side YAX 4735 (4736 crossed out) - Black Side YAX 4736 (4735 crossed out)
Vinyl (NM) Plays Great with no sticks or jumps etc, even under bright halogen lights I can only see lightest sleeve removal scuffs, no feelable scratches
Labels - Orginal clean 1st Issue EMI labels with "p 1974 Trident Audio Productions Ltd" rim text at 1 o`clock (see photos)
Inners (VG+) - Original `Feldman/Trident` inner lyric sleeve, some paper scuffing, no knifing which is very unusual
Sleeve (EX++) Beautiful High Gloss `Garrod & Lofthouse` gatefold Sleeve, no edgewear, Sharp spine & opening, Great condition (Please see photos for complete overview)
I am in the process of selling lots of obscure & rare Records/CD`s, I will be posting regularly why not check them out!
I use professionally made packers with card stiffeners & record removed from album cover
I use lots of photos to show as accurately as possible what you are getting (also I dont cut the corners of the record sleeve off the picture!!)
Gradings: I use the standard UK gradings as set out in Record Collector Magazine below:
MINT: 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 advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: 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: 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.
Near Mint, EX+, VG+ etc are acceptable additions to help `fine tune` descriptions for the buyer
