This is Death's "Human", released in Holland in 1991 on RC Records, catalogue number RC 9238-1.

RECORD:

All grades are 100 % guaranteed – no one has EVER asked to return a record to me.

Buying more than 200 records on the internet, I have agreed with the grading only around 10 times! I think this is because most sellers use inadequate lightning. As a seller once said: Everything looks near mint in the dark. There are only two sources of light I have ever tried that are any good for grading records:

1)      Direct, bright sunlight from an unclouded sky. It's the most powerful light source in this world. Why not use it? "Discreet sunlight" is absolutely no good. I've looked at records outside on a cloudy day that looked nothing short of immaculate, and then revealed loads of scratches under just a poor light bulb.

2)      Halogen spot lights G10, at least 50 watt. These should only be used in the evening to avoid diffusing from other light sources. See picture.

These two light sources will reveal EVERY scuff and scratch no matter how small or insignificant they may be. Regular room lightning or neon lights (which seem to be the standard at record fairs) reveal practically nothing. I've bought records that looked Mint- in neon lights that only looked VG under halogen light!

The record has quite many light scuffs, but no deep scratches. It also has a few light marks, which seem to be from the stampers. Side 1 is slightly better than side 2.

Side 1: VG(+) to VG+. Side 2: VG to VG(+) on Record Collector's grading scale (Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, Bad). I never use more than one plus. 

The record plays with only very light noise between the songs. As the music is loud and heavy constantly, the songs are noise free. That one mellow part with the bass line in "Cosmic Sea" has very light noise in the background, but it's not owerpowering in any way (as it's background noise). The "cosmic" part just before the bass part plays without noise.

To some people VG means a completely trashed record. NOT to me. I grade such a record as Fair.

I have graded the record on a Thorens TD-126 MkIII Centennial record player with an Ortofon MC20 Super MkII needle, Marantz PM7000 amp and Audiovector C1 speakers.

COVER AND INNER SLEEVE:

Light general wear, most noticeable on the back. Beautiful spines. It looks like it was always kept in a plastic sleeve. Overall Excellent.

The inner sleeve has a 7 cm split at the bottom and a 7 cm split on the other side. Otherwise only very light wear.

POSTAGE COSTS:

NO FEES and NO charges for materials! ONLY actual charges. All records will be sent in sturdy mailers designed for the purpose, and the records will be removed from the cover to avoid any creasing/tearing. The following charges are what the Danish postal system actually charges. They have gone crazy in recent years.
