Up for auction I have a UK original pressing of Joy Division's legendary debut album Unknown Pleasures released on Manchesters Factory Records.Catalogue number is Fact 10. The vinyl I have graded as being in an excellent minus condition with only light to medium hairline surface marks.Outer sleeve is in very good condition with the usual light ringwear so typical of this sleeve.The rounded corner inner sleeve again is in very good condition(some light finger marks,again common with this record)plus ringwear.Copies with the rounded inner sleeve are becoming increasingly scarce.
Please note that the vinyl does NOT show up reddish/purple when held up to the light.Those copies are becoming near impossible to locate these days,but rest assured this is an acceptable,if far from mint copy of this original UK pressing. It does however have the very early "This Is The Way" and "Step" etchings (taken from the track Atrocity Exhibition,a song that would appear on Joy Divisions Closer lp) on the run out indicating a very early 1979 Factory Records press.
RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM
MINT :
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 lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed be Mint.
EXCELLENT :
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.
VERY GOOD :
The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
I may use a + or a - to emphasise a grading which may be inbetween a grade. I will never use a mint grading for a 2nd hand/used record for instance. Mint- will be the very highest grade.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT,AND WILL NOT,RETRACT A BID FOR ANYONE REGARDLESS OF THE EXCUSE.THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WILL HAVE TO DO YOURSELF USING THE BID RETRACTION FORM AND EARN A BID RETRACTION STRIKE AGAINST YOURSELF.
Paypal ONLY accepted for buyers outside the United Kingdom(UK).No exceptions on this,sorry.
