RARE ORIGINAL JAPANESE AUDIOPHILE PRESSING IN  MINT CONDITION. 

Maybe played once on a Linn LP12 / Ittok / Troika, recorded to tape then stored away.  I knew the owner of this record from new and this is typical of the records in his collection.  You will NEVER find a better copy than this vinyl LP.  

See my other items for more records from this collection, including more 'half speed masters, 'audiophile pressings', 'Japanese pressings' as well as many more UK issued albums in mint / near mint condition. 

I have 100% feed back and most of my customers consider my grading conservative, please see feed back comments and the note on 'grading' at the bottom of this listing.  No quible refund on any item which you are not 100% happy with.

UK Postage is Royal Mail First class packet post OR Royal Mail Recorded delivery (covers up to £46.00 loss or damage)

International postage is via Royal Mail International 'signed for' service and the rate quoted covers insurance.

 POSTAGE AND PACKING INCLUDING MULTIPLE WIN DISCOUNTS FOR 7” SINGLES & EPs AND LPs

PLEASE NOTE, IMPORTANT:: I am more than happy to offer large postage discounts for multiple wins, after all, it’s the postage that deflates collectors enthusiasm for buying ‘on line’, however, as a seller on eBay I have to cover my costs.  For this reason it is vital that you wait for your invoice before paying for multiple items.  Once you have paid for an item, I package and post immediately, so if you pay for one, then pay for another one two hours later, there’s a good chance that the first one will already be packed and labelled, ready to post (if not already posted, in fact), in which case, I will be unable to offer postage discounts.  I am happy to delay the invoice for up to 5 working days if you are bidding on multiple items, beyond that, please send me a message to extend, so that I know what’s going on.

GRADINGS:  Are those used by ‘Record Collector’ magazine and ‘The Rare Record Price Guide’ (otherwise known as RRPG), both of which I contribute to by way of articles on rare records, updated guide prices and images for the RRPG web site www.rarerecordpriceguide.com .  If you subscribe to this web site, you will recognise images I have submitted from the small ‘Blue Jay’ bird in the bottom right (sometimes left) hand corner of the image.  If you do not subscribe, then I recommend that you do if you are a serious collector.  Click on the link above to sign up for a free trail. 

I try to play grade as many records as possible, but it is not always possible to do this, so if you feel that any record you have purchased is not graded accurately, please let me know.  I offer a ‘no quibble’ refund on any item if you are not 100% happy with it, provided you have not left negative feed back before contacting me.  Records which have been ‘play graded’ have been done so in my home studio on broadcast quality equipment at a comfortable listening volume.  All equipment is professional grade and includes EMT turntables, Alice (BBC spec. mixing desk), Denon (professional) amplifier and Bose 802 (installation) monitor speakers.  You may have a more or less sensitive HiFi system than this, but I believe that it provides a fair ‘industry reference’ quality grading.  Of course grading will always be subjective to some extent, which is why I offer a ‘no quibble’ refund as outlined above, should you not agree with my grading.  By way of clarification, the RRPG grading descriptions are listed below:  I will on occasions use + and – signs to indicate a grading which falls between the following descriptions in order to give a more accurate idea of condition.

E.G. M- (near mint), EX+, EX-, VG+, VG-, G+.

M – Mint - Description: 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.

EX – Excellent - Description: 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.

VG – Very Good - Description: 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.

G – Good - Description: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

F – Fair - Description: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for prop­erly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

P – Poor - Description: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

B – Bad -  Description: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
