$

20

This record, as well as the rest listed, were acquired on my recent trip to the UK (specifically in Manchester). I found these records at antique stores, charity shops, record stores as well as buying small collections from people. I have records (mostly original pressing) by Prince, The Smiths, Joy Division, New Order, Talking Heads, Queen, U2, Grace Jones and many others. I also bought a small batch of 45s (The Smiths, Blondie, David Bowie) that I will be listing soon. Feel free to take a look at the rest of the listings on my page.

----------------------------------

Press Info: The cover of the jacket matches a UK 1st press while the record matches a 1988 European repress. I found the record like this.

Vinyl Grade: VG+/VG (Conservatively looks VG but plays VG+ overall)

         The record has a lovely sheen and looks quite clean. There are certain areas with these series of hairlines that are noticeable under light. They are on both sides, more focused around the second-to-last and last track but there were other pockets near the 1st couple tracks as well. On T1S2, the crackle is quite present on the beginning of the song till it picks up. You do hear certain moments with the crackle. I was considering a VG rating to be safe but upon listening to portions of the record, it sounds quite clean overall and has strong loud playback. Without those issues, the record could've definitely been VG+. I might've rated it VG++. Extremely extremely slight warp doesn't affect play whatsoever

Cover Grade: VG+

          Looks quite nice. Has slight shelf and corner wear. The biggest issue is the top  seam in the middle there is noticeable wear. Its about an 1in. A bit of the opening is rubbed down near the bottom. Besides that, the cover looks solid.

Inner-sleeve Condition: Ring wear and some stain spots. Overall looks solid. No rips or tares 

**All records will include a new inner sleeve and plastic outer sleeve

GRADING SCALE: 

(Records are graded from sight)

SEALED / MINT - Record jacket is sealed. Disc is sold “as-is.”

NM - Super clean record with basically no imperfections. Appears unplayed or barely played at all. I’d use this rating extremely infrequently

EXC - Basically spotless visually or sounds extremely clean. 

VG++ - Has extremely few light marks. Very clean

VG+ - Has some imperfections, such as hairlines or scuff, but looks clean and plays well

VG - Similar to VG+ but has more imperfections. Records VG and up will not typically have any scratches deep enough to be felt. 

VG- - Fair amount of imperfections or scratches that may affect playability. 

VG-- - Plethora of scratches throughout.

G - Imperfections and scratches throughout including scratches that cause playback issues and can be felt

*I usually will give either a quick listen to the record or possibly the whole thing. I will mention in the description above if I have.
