PLEASE NOTE: POSTAGE IS NOT $4. PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR ACTUAL CHARGE
This is "Nexus Polaris" by Covenant (later The Kovenant). It was released on Nuclear Blast Records in in 1998, catalogue number NB 27361 63011. The record also comes with the original inner sleeve. I bought this record new from the shop shortly after it came out, and I have played it a maximum of 10 times.
REGARDING PICTURES: I can send you more pictures by e-mail. Please get in touch if you would like to see them.
VISUAL:
All grades are 100 % guaranteed – no one has EVER asked to return a record to me.
Buying more than 200 records on the internet, I have agreed with the grading only around 10 times! I think this is because most sellers use inadequate lightning. As a seller once said: Everything looks near mint in the dark. There are only two sources of light I have ever tried that are any good for grading records:
1) Direct, bright sunlight from an unclouded sky. It's the most powerful light source in this world. Why not use it? "Discreet sunlight" is absolutely no good. I've looked at records outside on a cloudy day that looked nothing short of immaculate, and then revealed loads of scratches under just a poor light bulb.
2) Halogen spot lights G10, at least 50 watt. These should only be used in the evening to avoid diffusing from other light sources.
These two light sources will reveal EVERY scuff and scratch no matter how small or insignificant they may be. Regular room lightning or neon lights (which seem to be the standard at record fairs) reveal practically nothing.
Under halogen spot lights I see some (not many) light scuffs on each side. They probably come from taking the record in and out of the thick cardboard inner sleeve, as I'm always very careful with my records. I will grade the record as EX on Record Collector's grading scale (Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, Bad).
SOUND CLIP:
I have uploaded a recording from the actual record for sale. The clip was recorded with a Thorens TD-126 MkIII Centennial record player fitted with an Ortofon MC20 Super MkII needle. If you have less sensitive equipment, you will hear less noise. You will also get the run-in groove and run-out groove on both sides (you'll hear the needle drop and lift), so it gives a full description of the record.
COVER:
As the record was not sealed when manufactured, the covers would always have a bit of wear when new. Overall, the cover only has light wear, mainly light creases to the spines and corners and that light "layer" of wear (that can be seen when held to the light) that can't be avoided when the records are not sealed. I will say EX on Record Collector's grading scale.
The record also comes with the original inner sleeve (which can be seen under the record in the picture). It has no splits and is in absolutely lovely condition!
POSTAGE COSTS:
NO FEES and NO charges for materials! ONLY actual charges. All records will be sent in sturdy mailers designed for the purpose, and the records will be removed from the cover to avoid any creasing/tearing. The following charges are what the Danish postal system actually charges. They have gone crazy in recent years. You can check out the rates for yourself if you like on http://www.postdanmark.dk/contentfull.dk?lang=en.
The Danish postal service has letters for 250, 500 and 1000 grams. This record will be able to go below the limit for 500 grams:
EUROPE: $10.98 for airmail. $10.58 for surface mail. $24.75 for airmail with tracking. $24.35 for surface mail with tracking. $29.74 for airmail insured up to $177 dollars.
REST OF THE WORLD: $15.37 for airmail. $14.97 for surface mail. $29.14 for airmail with tracking. $28.74 for surface mail with tracking. $34.13 for airmail insured up to $177 dollars.
International Buyers – Please Note:
Through buying more than 200 records in foreign countries it has only happened to me twice that I had to pay custom fees, but it can happen. There should be no custom fees within the European Community.
· Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
· Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
