Up for sale is a Marilyn Manson "Golden Age of Grotesque". Grading and condition as follows -- please read carefully, there are defect issues with this vinyl and I want to be 100% on that before you bid/purchase this item.

Vinyl: Defective -- I purchased this vinyl years ago in the clearance rack of a local record store, but it has 2 defect problems with it. For starters, there is light/moderate warping on each record that will cause skips on turntables that are not properly set up. Both records were play tested on a Panasonic Technics SL-1600 outfitted with an Orthofon OMB cart and Pro S needle tracked at 2.5 grams. The first track on side C had a moderate skip about 20-30 seconds into the song. The first track on side D had a skip on every rotation for the first 3 or 4 rotations then started playing fine. With my needle tracked heavier I'm still able to play the rest of the record fine.

Secondly, there is some factory defect dimpling on this record, which I believe goes hand in hand with the waviness. This was just a bad press. The dimpling doesn't affect the play at all, but it's definitely a visual defect and may cause issues on lower end turntables. You can see the dimpling on Side A and on Side C & D.

Outside of the factory defects, both vinyls are glossy, clean with no scratches or scuffs. Labels are clean on both sides.

Jacket: VG++ :: Light shelf wear on this record, to the corners and one light crease on the top front right cover. No other major wear.
