36

Up for auction is (1) Joy Division / Unknown Pleasures FACTUS1 US LP with Textured Cover from 1980 in amazing condition.  Of note is the "I've been looking for a guide" in the deadwax.  This is a hard to find LP and in top quality condition!

I have uploaded both sides recorded directly from the ACTUAL VINYL (and converted to mp3 for streaming) so that you may evaluate the sonic condition of the vinyl.  Please allow files to load before streaming otherwise the audio may drop in and out.

Grading can be subjective, and I am grading conservatively so please look at the photos and listen to the audio below:

As you can hear in the sound clips, the vinyl plays great without any skips.

I'd say the artwork is great:
Outer album cover/jacket is in excellent condition or better, maybe near mint.
Inner record sleeve is in very good plus to excellent condition.

Visually I'd say the vinyl is in excellent condition or better and appears to be opaque.  There are some dusty fingerprints on the side with the black label and a little dust overall.

I do not see any scuffing in the play area of the vinyl, though there appears to be a small bit of scuffing in the run out groove on one side of the LP.  Photos were taken outside by a palm tree as you can see in the reflection of the vinyl.

The Matrix / Runout of the black label side with white printing, outside reads: SACC 008A Factus (cursive) 1 9838+ L-1835

The Matrix / Runout of the white label side with black printing, inside reads: SACC 008B FACTUS 1 – I’ve been looking for a guide (cursive)  9839 +   L-1835–X
