Description
SPECIALS S/t VINYL LP (Japan) Chrysalis WWS-81288 (1980 – First album on first Japanese pressing.)
Record Grade: EX+ to M-
(Clean copy. Looks unplayed. Pretty much just M-)
Cover Grade: EX+ to M-
(Beautiful cover. No bends, stickers, shelf wear, spine wear. Pretty much just M-. Not far off what you would have bought walking into a record shop in Tokyo in 1980. Insert is near mint. Please note: the obi seems to be affixed tightly to the cover rather than sliding.)
This cover is rare in this condition. It's not often these bright white covers are so well preserved without humidity stains from Japan's humid summer. Looks to have been kept within a sealed plastic snap pack sleeve since original purchase.
FREE SHIPPING TO AUSTRALIA (registered post on $20+ items)
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS NOTE: Import taxes are the responsibility of the buyer. Please be aware of these costs before bidding. (International Postage terms: see below) Posted with vinyl outside of sleeve to prevent sleeve splits in transit. Packed in solid cardboard. Japanese pressings are usually heavier packages.
IMPORTANT: All records graded carefully under strong light.
I have a long standing good reputation for grading and I use
the UK grading system which includes EX grades. I am used to
strict Japanese grading standards. If a disc is graded EX you
will not receive something that should be VG+. On the off chance
that happens, please contact me and I will sort it out.
International Postage:
These discs are generally aimed at Australian buyers,
but I have a lot of experience posting internationally.
Some items are set as AU/N.E. Asia only; some are Asia + UK/US/Europe.
International postage will be an $ AU 30 flat rate (air w/tracking)
(I'll cover the difference, including signature etc., and if actual postage
does happen to come in lower I'll refund the difference back.)
If you would like to combine international postage on multiple items
please wait for an invoice.
NOTE: I am going to be selling my own collection of clean
Japanese pressings with obi's and other discs this year.
Inc. a lot of punk LPs + Blue Note jazz + Aussie bands
I have 8 DJ cases, but I have issues with storage because my
wife and I have been relocating between Australia and Korea.
Vinyl is visually graded only. My sound system is still in storage in
another city.
Grading note: Very clean near mint records may sometimes have tiny
specks of dust or very small ultra thin fabric strands (which can sometimes
be mistaken for marks) on the vinyl, which come from the inside of
inner sleeves. Both of these will likely be removed by the stylus on first play.
If I can, I send items out in anti-static inner sleeves to try to minimize
this.
