Description
1991 MASTERPIECE THAT WITH THE AID OF BOB ROCK OVERSEEING PRODUCTION SAW METALLICA ROCKET TO WORLD FAME.
ORIGINAL UK PRESSING WITHOUT COUNTRY OF ORIGIN PRINTED ON THE SLEEVE OR LABELS.
HERE IS A VERY NICE COPY OF THIS CLASSIC METALLICA ALBUM, I ACTUALLY KNOW THE GUY WHO BROUGHT THIS WHEN IT CAME OUT AND OWNED IT UP UNTIL RECENTLY AS HE THINNED OUT HIS COLLECTION AND LET SOME STUFF GO MY WAY.
SERIOUS COLLECTOR WHO TAKES CARE OF HIS RECORDS AND PLAYS THEM ONLY ON HIGH END EQUIPMENT. THIS WAS ACTUALLY RECORDED TO TAPE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE (AS ALL HIS STUFF WAS) AND HAS SEEN ONLY LIGHT USE OVER THE YEARS AND BEEN CAREFULLY STORED.
THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND UNDER SCRUTINY SHOW ONLY ONE OR TWO VERY FAINT SPINDLE MARKS IF YOU LOOK FOR THEM!
THE SURFACES ARE CLEAN AND RETAIN STRONG GLOSS.
HELD AGAINST LIGHT AND UNDER STRONG DIRECT LIGHT THE SURFACES SHOW ONLY SOME VERY MINOR PAPER CONTACT / INSERTION WISPS FROM THE RECORD HAS BEEN TAKE IN AND OUT OF THE INNER SLEEVES, HANDLED AND MOVED AROUND. NO SCRATCHES, NICKS, GROOVE WEAR, DAMP SPOTS ARE ANYTHING LIKE THAT. JUST VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING.
WHEN SPINNING SIDES A AND C THERE IS A VERY VERY FRACTIONAL EDGE WOBBLE JUST VISIBLE WITH THE EYE, THIS IS A VERY MINOR COSMETIC NOTE MENTIONED IN THE SPIRIT OF AN ACCURATE GRADING! ALMOST UNNOTICEABLE BUT WORTH MENTIONING HERE - IT CAUSES NO EFFECT TO PLAYBACK AT ALL THE NEEDLES TACKS PERFECTLY FROM THE START OF ALL SIDES AND IT IS NOT NOTICEABLE ON THE FLIP SIDES.
THE RECORD PLAYS THROUGH WITH A CRUSHING AND BRIGHT SOUND AS YOU MIGHT HOPE FOR, ALL FREQUENCIES CLEAR AND LOUD WITHOUT CLIPPING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT ALLOWING A TRUE VINYL EXPERIENCE OF THIS AMAZINGLY PRODUCED RECORD!
I'VE LISTENED TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM AND REALLY NOTHING TO REPORT NO SKIPS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, JUST A LITTLE VERY MINIMAL 'VINYL' SURFACE PRESENCE HERE & THERE IN THE OPENING GROOVES DEAD WAX OR IN THE SOFTEST PASSAGE OF MUSIC BUT IS IS MORE OR LESS NEGLIGIBLE AS FAR AS THESE THINGS GO AND NOTHING THAT ISN'T TO BE EXPECTED WITH A USED VINYL RECORD SOME 30 YEARS OLD. REALLY VERY NICE INDEED AND I WILL BE SURPRISED IF YOU WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS!
RETURNS ARE FREE IF NEED BE IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SATISFIED WITH THE CONDITION OF THIS METAL CLASSIC.
THE SLEEVE IS SIMILARLY IN GREAT SHAPE, NEAT & TIDY WITH ONLY THE MOST MINOR SIGNS OF STORAGE.
OVERALL THIS RECORD IS GRADED AT EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF PREVIOUS USE AND CERTAINLY 'VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY' AS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS GRADE!
CONDITION & GRADING
I use the standard 'Record Collector' grading system conservatively!
Usually with an additional note included in the item description.
The records are carefully inspected under strong light and played tested in part.
I use a RCM where needed to remove any lint, dust or fingerprints.
I really try my hardest to avoid some of the common and unnecessary oversights that can occur in grading used vinyl and deliver items that look and sound great!
Please check my excellent reputation selling used media here on eBay and feel confident doing business with me.
ALL ITEMS ARE PACKED SECURELY AND WITH CARE FOR TRANSIT - FEAR NOT!
