Description

Metallica - Black Album - Extremely Rare 2001 EU Vertigo Swirl Reissue on 180 gram Vinyl

I did a full album complete PLAY TEST on a high end Technics SL-1200MK7 turntable.  All turntables/needles (stylus) may sound/play differently but this should give you the most accurate idea of the audio quality.


Vinyl 1 Both sides play all the way through with no skips.  The audio on both sides is Excellent.  The only thing I noticed was on Side 1 - Track 1 there is the slightest bit of "crackling (surface noise) for the first couple seconds then the audio quality is excellent all the way through on both sides.
Vinyl 2 - Both sides play all the way through with no skips and the audio quality is Excellent on both sides.
Both vinyl discs are very clean and shiny in excellent condition.  Minimal surface markings or hairlines.  Both discs labels are clean and in excellent condition.  These were played maybe two or three times total, including the test play before listing.  180 gram high quality vinyl. Very strong VG+ or better.
Includes both inner sleeves with lyrics on them.  There are no seam splits on the inner sleeves.  They are in great shape with minimal signs of any wear.  The records will be shipped i new generic white inner sleeves to prevent any damage to the originals during shipping.
The jacket has some light wear to the corners and some small light creases along the seams.  The jacket is a very glossy material so it picks up quite a bit of fingerprinting that is visible when you tilt it under a light.  I feel like the fingerprints could be cleaned off but i don't really know what the best way to clean them would be so I have left them alone.  There are a few signs of wear along the spine.  Overall, its probably a strong VG due to the issues described.  Check out the video and the photos and you should be able to get a really good idea of the condition of the jacket.  I will ship the records outside of the jacket to prevent any damage during shipoping.
