RARE! HARD TO FIND!
The Famous "320" Stamper.
While the album was re-released globally in 2008, the European and UK pressings distributed under the Back to Black Series utilized specific German metalwork. It was cut at Universal Schallplatten GmbH (formerly the PMDC/PolyGram plant in Hanover, Germany) and mastered by the highly respected engineer Willem Makkee.
You can identify this version by looking closely at the runout groove (the dead wax area near the center label). It features a stamped "320" code next to the matrix number.
Why Collectors Seek This VersionAmong contemporary audiophiles, the German "320" mastering is widely considered the absolute best modern pressing of the album.
The Mix: Unlike many modern reissues that compress the audio or use muddy digital source files, Makkee's 2001 lacquer cut (which Universal reused for this 2008 180-gram run) is entirely analog-sounding.
The Sound: It is legendary for its massive dynamic range, incredible bass punch, and raw, aggressive drum presence. Collectors frequently note that it "rips" and mimics the explosive energy of an original 1987 US first pressing.

Our Grading
Because of our high inventory volume, most records are visually graded using the Goldmine grading standard recognized by Discogs.
Mint (M)
Vinyl: Brand new, flawless, unplayed, and usually still sealed in plastic.
Cover: Perfect with zero creases, folds, or defects.
Near Mint (NM or M-) or Excellent (EX)
Vinyl: Nearly perfect. Shines like new with only minor scuffs or paper wisps from the inner sleeve that do not affect play.
Cover: Clean, crisp, and sharp with no ring wear, creases, or seam splits.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
Vinyl: Shows light signs of use. May have slight scuffs or light scratches that cause faint pops or crackles during quiet parts, but the music overpowers them.
Cover: Slight corner wear, minor ring wear, or a very small split on a seam.
Very Good (VG)
Vinyl: Noticeable groove wear. Scratches are deeper, feelable by finger and cause continuous soft clicks or light surface noise, but it plays through without skipping.
Cover: Visible ring wear, split seams, or small writing/stickers on the jacket.
Good (G) / Good Plus (G+)
Vinyl: Plays through with possibility of skips, but heavy surface noise, pops, and crackles are constant and loud enough to overpower the music at times. May have a slight warp.
Cover: Heavy ring, or edge wear, major split seams, tape repairs, or heavy writing.
