DEEP PURPLE “Mark I & II” Purple Records Psych Rock 2lp M-

German/Purple Records 188-94 865/66….. here’s a clean original pressing of this heavy psych rock lp. The fragile gatefold cover is in solid clean Excellent condition, there is a bit of light corner/edge wear, the cover has a little light damage(rubbing) near the top of the spine, otherwise this cover is clean and solid with no splits or delete. Both records are in glossy clean M- like new condition and only one side was carefully played by me. The other three sides remain unplayed! I found this lp as Sealed with some light tears in the shrink so I opened it to check. The vinyl is gorgeous and the cover isn't far behind. A solid clean German pressing! Please check my auctions for other prog, psych and rock lp’s. Good luck and thanks for looking!

///GRADING///

MINT: as stated with no defects

NEAR MINT: as stated near Mint!, or Mint Minus, same thing, very clean with no defect to sound or visual appearance, one scuff or mark may be permitted but it will be mentioned in the description, a near Mint record looks and plays very clean

EXCELLENT: not much below near Mint, may have a delete hole and/or a minor defect or two not visually detracting from the cover, the vinyl will appear shiny and in clean condition with very minor defects not affecting the sound, still very clean and very collectable!

VG++ still a very nice copy with minimal cover wear and/or delete/splits, still visually appealing, the vinyl will retain it's original gloss and can have some minor scuffs/scratches that don't affect play very much

VG+ a little more cover/ring wear and delete, splits etc., the vinyl will still retain much original gloss with a bit more scuffs and/or scratches I may list a very rare or desirable item with a lower grade, I will try to list all defects, both cover and vinyl no matter the condition.
