1st Pressing Matrix Numbers

 

This is the very rare German manufactured 'EXPORT' pressing made in relatively small numbers for the Switzerland market

- thanks to  Harry (ebay member 'chemieharry030')  for the confirmation.

 

Cover: Fully laminated German Odeon gatefold cover with the original upper flip-backs inside. No writings, doodles or seam splits. Inside is Excellent. Only minor wear to the spine which is fully readable and rates as Near Excellent. The front cover has a small piece missing at the edge - see photo and therefore rates as Good+ only - whereas the rear of the cover rates as Excellent. The Odeon 'ads' inner sleeve is Excellent+.

 

Cut-out insert: Near Mint. Dark green without any country of origin written in bottom left corner.

 

Labels: Excellent - one side has a small name written on it.

 

Vinyl: Play tested. Looks and plays Excellent to Excellent+. Minor static crackle here and there - nothing to spoil the enjoyment.

 

Postage & packaging: £3.50 (UK) £6 (EUROPE) & £9 (REST OF THE WORLD)

Gradings.......

 

Mint - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.

Excellent - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.

Very Good - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratches.

Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and more significant scratches.

Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise, it may even jump.

Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc

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