MATRIX NUMBERS ZAL-4719-2E / ZAL-4720-2E
VINYL GRADED A CONDITION
SLEEVE GRADED A CONDITION
Superb condition, both vinyl and sleeve. NEAR MINT throughout. I don't think you'll find a better example. The only issue to note is a very small inscription to the sleeve rear (see photo). Truly minor in nature (recording minutes) and otherwise this is as MINT as you could expect to find. Stunning audio.
A NOTE ON GRADING:
- An 'A' grade record will have no major marks and a crisp clean sleeve. Only exceptional records get an A grading.
- An 'A-' record may have only a few very light superficial surface marks (this is equivalent to 'Near Mint') and in most cases will play as an A record, or with only a few, occasional "ticks".
- 'B' grade records will have more or heavier surface marks and/or some minor sleeve wear - (a B grade record is the equivalent of 'Excellent', so B+ is Ex+).
PLEASE NOTE: I am currently in Prague, Czech Republic but have stated postage from the UK. I shall soon be returning to the UK with this record, but in either case the record shall be sent securely and promptly.
P&P: all items sold over £30.00 must be sent RECORDED DELIVERY or SPECIAL DELIVERY in the UK (at the buyer's choice & for the appropriate price) but will not be sent standard delivery. Rest Of World buyers will have to pay for International Signed For postage in addition to the normal postage rate, making the record trackable and signed for on receipt.
In 7 years we have had very very few items lost or damaged, but should any items sustain damage or fail to be delivered due to the postal services, the first action taken will be a claim with the postal services.
