QUEENSRYCHE - Operation: Mindcrime LP FULLY AUTOGRAPHED

	£		80
	$		106

After being an avid music collector for over thirty years, I've decided to downscale somewhat. So in the coming months I'll be listing an abundance of records, cd's, tour programmes, genuine autographed items, tour t-shirts, magazines and other memorabilia from my own personal collection.

QUEENSRYCHE - OPERATION: MINDCRIME - Vinyl LP

EMI / MTL 1023 (A-1/B-1 Matrix) / 1988 / UK

Fantastic third album from Seattle rockers Queensryche. This is a really nice UK pressing on EMI in beautiful condition. Bought by me upon release with the earliest matrix numbers, it has been fully autographed by all 5 original members of the band (Geoff Tate, Chris DeGarmo, Michael Wilton, Eddie Jackson & Scott Rockenfield) - bassist Eddie Jackson has actually signed the front cover twice! On the afternoon of their show at the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool on the 6 November 1990, they did a record-signing at local record shop Penny Lane Records - I myself got this personally signed by them at this meet & greet.

Condition

*Another record from my own personal collection which has only been played once. I would always record my new vinyl purchases directly to cassette to preserve their condition. Therefore, the grading of these vinyls has been done visually, to keep them in as-new condition as possible.

Vinyl : EX+   As stated, it's only been played once and still looks in excellent condition - some very light sleeve marks. The labels are excellent also with a light spindle mark on each side.

Sleeve : NM   The autographed sleeve & the inner sleeve are both near-mint - always stored in a pvc sleeve - fantastic.

Record Collector Grading System

Mint (M):  Record shows no evidence of having been played. Vinyl/sleeve in perfect, brand new condition. No secondhand records can make this grade.

Near Mint (NM):  Record shows little sign of having been played. Vinyl/sleeve is in superb condition.  My highest grade for secondhand vinyl.

Excellent (EX):  Record has been played a few times but has been well looked after. Vinyl has the odd light surface mark but there is no significant lessening of sound quality. Sleeve may have some slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG):  Record has been played a number of times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite some visible marks / mild scratches. Any surface noise is occasional, light and unobtrusive. Sleeve will have some normal wear and tear without any major defects.

Good (G):  While the record still plays OK, the vinyl will have a lot of surface marks/ light scratches and there is regular and noticeable surface noise. Sleeve and contents will suffer from folding, scuffing and/ or edge splits, discoloration etc.

Fair (F):  Vinyl will have scratches and jump etc. Records in this condition will be collection-fillers only. The sleeve has major tears, staining etc.
