A truly excellent copy of Joy Division's second and final album.
1980 pressing with 'OLD BLUE' matrix.
Thick rough, textured sleeve outer sleeve and rough textured inner sleeve
with square corners.
The condition of the playing surfaces is superb, both sides are beautifully glossy, dust and fingerprint free.
There are a few extremely faint and superficial surface scuffs, but absolutely nothing that needs any special mention.
An outstanding copy, definitely the very top end of VG+
The outer sleeve is in excellent condition. There is a tiny amount of wear to the corners to the open edge.
The spine is also in excellent condition.
There is a very small amount of age discolouration to the open edge of the front cover, but this is very slight.
There is also a very small amount of ghosting of the disc to the top of both the front and back covers.
The inner sleeve is in very good condition. Corners are all sharp and undamaged.
The 'Heart and soul side' is virtually unmarked.
The 'Atrocity Exhibition' side has some brown marks, not sure exactly what has caused them.
Please see the listing images.
Before photographing, each record was cleaned using a Knosti disco-antistat record cleaner using a solution
of 1:8 parts Isopropyl Alcohol to De-ionised water, with a couple of drops of a surfactant.
If necessary, records were given a hands on clean, as bellow, followed by a second run through the Knosti.
1 - Removal of any surface dust with a light brushing over with a carbon fibre and velvet disc cleaning pad
2 - Deep cleaning with large (Big Fudge) velvet pad and cleaning solution
3 - A final brushing with a Pro-Ject carbon fibre record brush.
I am a professional photographer by trade, and have gone to great lengths to light and photograph covers, inner sleeves
and the vinyl themselves in such a way as to show, as accurately as possible, the actual condition of all.
Rest assured that what you see is exactly what will be despatched to you if you are the successful winner of each listing.
Happy to take returns, So please, feel free to bid with confidence.
I personally wouldn't bid on a pre-owned record without the option to return it if I felt that the seller hadn't been
totally truthful and transparent in their description of it, or that on receipt it didn't live up to my expectations.
And I do not expect you to do so either.
Unless otherwise stated every record was purchased by myself from new and only ever played
by myself on my own deck and with as expensive a cartridge as I could afford at the time.
And finally, because Mr or Mrs Poasty may not handle your record with the same care and reverence that you or I would,
I will dispatch in a specialised corrugated cardboard record mailing outer, and if I feel even more protection is required
I will also include two extra sheets of 3mm corrugated cardboard for added safety and protection.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and for showing an interest
in giving a new home to one of my records.
I have other listings live right now and will be adding new ones on a regular basis,
so please do take a peak and stay tuned for more. I will combine postage, so please do ask.
