Description
I am selling off parts of my 3,000+ record collection, encompassing prog, psyche, folk, krautrock and hard rock, all of which are original or first pressings. The large majority of my records are all in excellent to near-mint condition, and all play without any loud pops, repeating tics or skips. All of my listings have low starting bids and reasonable 'buy-it-now' prices. My grading is strict and, unless a record is sealed, I play-grade everything on a high-end turntable.

Detailed description
This is an original limited edition of the Cult's 'Sonic Temple' album, which was pressed on red vinyl for release in Australia. Both the cover and the inner sleeve are identical to the UK original pressing, and both actually have text on them indicating that they were made in England. The vinyl has the word "EMIDISC" etched in the deadwax area around the labels, indicating that the record was mastered at EMI's Homebush studios in Sydney, Australia. Some of these were issued with a small 'Made in Australia' sticker added to the back cover, but this one doesn't have the sticker.
The vinyl looks near-mint under normal lighting. On side 2, I can see a few, very faint, small, superficial hairlines, but these are only noticeable when held at an angle under an LED light, and do not affect playback. There are a few light tics as the first track on each side fades in, but this dissipates after 10 to 15 seconds or so and the rest of the vinyl plays near-mint on both sides.
The cover is close to near-mint - the spine is very slightly squashed, and there is a tiny spot of paper loss on the spine just so that it obscures the letter "S" in 'SONIC'; otherwise, there are very few signs of wear. As you can see, the hype sticker is still attached to the cover, and I have not made any attempt to remove this.
Comes complete with the original printed inner sleeve, which has all seams intact.
Shipping
Note that I do ship worldwide; however, the postage cost given for international shipping is for tracked shipping for a single LP to the US. Combined shipping and shipping to other international destinations is available (and cheaper), so please wait for my invoice before making payment. Many thanks.
Please contact me should you require a quote for shipping to your destination. I do not charge for packaging, nor do I profit from shipping. All shipping costs quoted reflect the actual cost of shipping from the UK.
