Welcome to my vinyl record auction for:

Mayhem de mysteriis dom sathanas 1994 DSP 1st press LP

Catalogue number: Anti mosh 006

Label: DSP

Year: 1994

Matrix numbers: 006A/006B

Pressing: Norway, 1st

Additional info:

This is the super sort after original deathlike silence pressing in a gatefold sleeve. Not to be confused with any of the later less valuable pressings

Condition (1-5) Vinyl / Cover = 4.00/4.00

*See super detailed photos at bottom of page to judge cover condition for yourself*

Notes: Vinyl is in great shape – side one has a light hairline scratch which has been play tested to confirm it is not audible. Otherwise only the odd ultra light mark / paper scuff when viewed closely while tilted in strong light, superb audio, retains a nice gloss and does not look to have had an awful lot of play. The cover is also in very nice shape showing just light general wear and no damage – seams are all good with minimal wear, nice fully readable spine, no creasing or folding at all, no tears, no writing and the inside of the gatefold is in great shape with nothing to criticise. Cover is a very nice example especially considering these original matt finish covers are so super prone to wear (it has been graded as per any cover but is probably among the best around considering how easily they wear). Labels are clean – to be picky, side one label is a tiny bit ragged around the edge in a couple of small areas (has been like this from new – not stuck on to carefully during manufacture I guess!). All in all a very nice copy very harshly graded due to value

Very nice original copy from the legendary band. One of the scarcest and most desirable death metal releases of all. Could be a long while before you see another

Please note the following before bidding:

Grading:

 I will be grading critically to avoid disappointment. (scale at bottom of page) In my experience there is no such thing as a used record that has no marking at all, if you choose to look closely enough!  Hence nothing will be described as mint.

Other stuff:

* Record has been assessed visually. I’ve been in contact with e-bayers who have already bought. They are very pleased with condition compared to what they expected from the grading and report excellent sound quality even from records listed as having heavier damage.

*Buy with confidence. I’m happy to offer a no argument refund should unexpected problems arise on playing or I’ve missed something in the description / grading (refund less postage on return of item within 7 days).

* My aim is 100% customer satisfaction and I will do whatever I can to resolve any issues to your satisfaction (see my positive feedback and high ratings)

*Records have had a quick wipe only - will benefit from a good clean before playing.
