JOY DIVISION - Unknown pleasures
Original U.K. LP
Factory LP (FACT 10)
Just how rare this pressing is we'll let you decide! This is the first copy i have ever had that is a deep red colour when held up to a light. I have seen the copies of Closer that do this, but have never noticed this on a first press of Unknown Pleasures before. I have tried to show the colour on the photos but i'm afraid it doesn't work well with a camera. In hand it is a deeper red. It is a first press sleeve, inner & vinyl NOT a repress. It comes in the textured Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd sleeve with the inner having rounded edges. The Matrix are as follows: Side 1) FACT 10 - INSIDE 1 A A PORKY PRIME CUT STEP. Side 2) FACT - 10 - OUTSIDE 1 B THIS IS THE WAY A PORKY PRIME CUT. A genuine first press that looks like a standard black vinyl press until held up to a light. A real genuine Joy Division & Factory Records collectable in decent condition. I really can't even guess at a value so it's a 99p start, no reserve & we'll let it find it's own value. Good luck!
For the last 18 years we have been looking through 100's & even 1,000's of records every week, but we still only pull out a tiny percentage to sell on. Often we'll reject a rare album or single because of it's condition only to see another dealer buy it to sell on!Condition
Sleeve: VG++ (No writing, splits, tears, bends etc some rubbing, ringwear & edge/corner wear) Record: VG++ (still has some original sheen with only light signs of being played, No scratches)Sorry, but we no longer ship to Poland Our grading is strict so as not to dissapoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under a 100 Watt bulb. Scans are of actual item up for auction. All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.
Near Mint
Almost mint.Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care.Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.
Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.
VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
