Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures original 12" LP on FACT 10. In really nice condition. Play tested through both sides.

I think anyone looking at this listing will know exactly what this LP is but Google searching will give more information than I could put here.

This Album: Visually the LP surface is glossy and in really nice condition with no visible scratches. I have just critically listened to the whole album with a decent hi-fi. There were no scratches or other noises heard (my definition of a scratch being a click or pop that repeats more than once on the same place around the grooves). Surface noise between tracks (present with all vinyl to some degree) is at an absolute minimum.  It has a great clarity of sound and no wear distortion. A very impressive listen.

The sleeve is nice on both sides with just some edge rub marks and the odd crinkle. There are no tears, stickers or sticker marks. No writing either. The spine is strong and the spine printing excellent. The inner sleeves are the correct stiff card ones with no tears, stickers or writing.

The labels are all excellent condition with no writing and to my eyes little or no visible spindle marks.

The runout groove stamps are... Side 1: FACT 10 Inside 1 A porky prime cut Step   Side 2: FACT 10 Outside 1 A porky prime cut This is the way.

Price: I have based the buy-it-now price on recent actual sales of the same album in similar condition and I include free postage.

About seller: I bought my first record in 1969 (Canned Heat) and have enjoyed owning vinyl since. This is mainly for listening pleasure and I'm not a collector as such. Now and again I have bought used classic LPs and/or small collections to top up my records that now span over 50yrs. Currently I'm selling a few cherished items, duplicates or records that are too valuable to play regularly to fund another project hence this and other similar listings. Since buying my first record they have always been played on hi-fi systems with a good stylus and never cheap portable players, I never lent records out to anyone or took them to a party either! Most of the records I'm listing currently were originally sourced from a collector who would buy exceptional condition rare copies, play them a handful of times and then archive so protecting from wear that occurs when records are constantly removed and replaced in a cabinet to play over and over again.

Condition comments: As mentioned I am not a collector or record dealer so the condition comments are those of a private music enthusiasts opinion. However they are honest and should help judge the condition of this LP. I would encourage anyone thinking of purchasing to make contact through Ebay messages first and query any aspect of condition that is of particular importance.

Images: I have used high res images so you can hover over for the magnified area and see condition aspects in detail. I always struggle to get a decent image of an LP itself and any apparent marks will be reflections from the room on the glossy surface.

Postage: Free postage for this LP will be Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For. It will be sent in a strong record mailer with extra stiffening. I will send promptly after payment is received, usually the next working day or possibly even same day if bought early am.

**Important note: If you live in the Highlands & Islands or any other area you know carries a surcharge please contact me before buying for a quote.

If you were near enough to us (Sawtry PE28 area of Cambridgeshire) to collect within a couple of days of purchase I would be more than pleased to allow collection with an examination & demo so I know it's handed over in perfect condition. If you wish this option please contact me BEFORE doing the buy so we can make sure arrangements would suit us both then I can change the listing to allow collection with cash payment.
