PROPER 1ST PRESS MATRICES, ALL HAND ETCHED AND COMPLETE WITH THE RARE ALEISTER CROWLEY QUOTATIONS
Excellent looking vinyl with a few superficial light scratches here and there, but fortunately the music covers pretty much all of the background noise. There are some light clicks and pops in between tracks and the expected background crackle. There are a few hints of very light clicks on opening two tracks but right back in the mix. The loud tracks are great with superb tone and volume on all frequencies, even the quiet tracks are excellent, with just some light background crackle, not too intrusive at all. Plays as EX.
Plays right through perfectly with no jumps or sticks.
OUTER SLEEVE:
One of the better ones I've seen with very little wear at all and not worn away like the vast majority out there!
Excellent condition, a few light laminated creases here and there which is fairly typical for this sleeve, just some minor wear to bottom edge and with revolving wheel, has come away from its centre axis unfortunately.
SPINE
Excellent, still nice and square, unlike most that are virtually flattened! Perfectly legible. A few light creases.
TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
Excellent, just some light wear.
OPENING EDGES
very good, just some thumbing wear to opening
LABELS:
The iconic and highly collectible original UK Atlantic Red/Plum labels, superb condition with a only a very few visible spindle traces.
INNER SLEEVE:
Just a plain white one.
POSTAGE AND PACKING:
I recycle as much existing material as possible and reuse record mailers if they are of good enough quality. Edges and corners are reinforced with packing tape. Stiffeners are used to strengthen and support the record.
Vinyl is removed from the outer gatefold to prevent any 'knifing' to the outer sleeve.
I ship in the UK using Royal Mail 1st Class. A certificate of postage is obtained for every item. Signed for delivery is available on request at extra cost. Please ask.
Feedback is left for buyers once they have contacted me and left feedback stating they are happy with their purchase. Should there be any issues, please contact me first.
I ship worldwide. Item will be shipped in board-backed envelope for maximum protection.
