Pentagram day of reckoning 1993 Ltd Gatefold LP

Catalogue number: Vile 40

Label: Peaceville

Year: 1993

Matrix numbers:  A1/B1

Pressing: UK

Additional info:

This is a super rare limited edition pressing from peaceville records of this amazing LP by the legendary band. This was originally released on napalm records in 1987. Unusually, this 1993 version is just as sought after and valuable as the original release if not more so (not to be confused with any of the recent reissues)The reasons being that this was a limited pressing that seems to be even more scarce than the original and also this is a much nicer than the original. Features include thicker heavier vinyl than the original and the standard slip sleeve of the original has been replaced with a great high quality gatefold cover. The inside of the gatefold including full lyrics and written piece by frontman Bobby about the album

Condition (1-5) Vinyl / Cover = 4.75/4.25*See super detailed photos at bottom of page to judge cover condition for yourself*

Notes: Vinyl is superb – very minimal super light marking only, even when closely viewed tilted in strong light (can only spot 2 small ultra light and totally superficial marks in total). Retains a fantastic deep dark gloss – looks barely played (The person I got this from claimed to have taped it when new and not played it since. Appearance and play test results give me no reason to doubt this – either way, it is certainly extremely lightly played – as good as it gets for used vinyl) Audio - absolutely perfect with amazing sound quality and no surface noise. Vinyl really is worthy of a max rating but I don’t like to give this for vinyl of high value Cover has just a little light general wear only – mostly just a couple of the usual small light creases around the edges and which you have to look closely to see and a tiny bit of rubbing (only really to the very tips of the corners) This is being very picky and the covers is in fact a very nice crisp example which has been harshly graded to value and was on the borderline of being rated even higher. Labels – again, pristine and faultless

Superb copy of this ultra rare and sought after album. May be a long time before you see another copy and you will certainly not better this vinyl for condition or audio.

Grading:

 I will be grading critically to avoid disappointment. (scale at bottom of page) In my experience there is no such thing as a used record that has no marking at all, if you choose to look closely enough!  Hence nothing will be described as mint.

Other stuff:

* Record has been assessed visually. I’ve been in contact with e-bayers who have already bought. They are very pleased with condition compared to what they expected from the grading and report excellent sound quality even from records listed as having heavier damage.

*Buy with confidence. I’m happy to offer a no argument refund should unexpected problems arise on playing or I’ve missed something in the description / grading (refund less postage on return of item within 7 days).

* My aim is 100% customer satisfaction and I will do whatever I can to resolve any issues to your satisfaction (see my positive feedback and high ratings)

*Records have had a quick wipe only - will benefit from a good clean before playing.
