<img src="http://ti2.auctiva.com/web/aswCredit.gif" border="0"><br><a href="http://www.auctiva.com/?how=scLnk1" target="_blank"><img src="http://ti2.auctiva.com/images/sc1line1.gif" border="0"></a> From my uncle Bob's estate. His hobby was collecting records, thousands of them, many he never played, and if so, once out of curiosity. A big asset to his hobby: his best friend was a distributor in the record industry. Always stored in his dry, air-conditioned, no smoking home, in a room just for record storage. This Pink Floyd "The Piper At The Gates Of dawn" album, Tower Records ST-5093, was a big album for Pink Floyd , it launched their career into mega stardom. This is a first US pressing, has the mis-spelled A3 track"Take Up MY Stethoscope and Walk" Matrix reads: side 1; ST-1-5093 S-1546, side 2; ST-2-5093 S-1547 all hand etched. Label side 1 is stamped Pilgrim Sound. Record was test played and played great.
The cover has no splits, a very slightly dinged lower left corner, a small hole punched in the upper left corner, and still has a nice sheen. (There are a few small scuffs front and back from storage) The vinyl is Excellent with hard to see spindle marks and a nice sheen (It looks like it was played very little). A very collectible version of this historic album. A must have for any rock history buff or Pink Floyd fan.
Please note that all vinyl is inspected under bright lighting using a 5X opti-visor magnifier.
Record Grading: Mint: The record looks like it just left the manufacturer; no flaws. It looks like it was never handled. No scuffs, scratches, blotches or stains or spindle marks.
Near Mint: This record appears flawless, very minor, hard to see scuffs from removing from sleeve, no scratches, new record sheen, may have small hard to see spindle marks.
Excellent: Minor scuffs, these blems should not be heard when playing, good sheen, may have minor spindle marks.
VG+: Plays essentially clean, but may have a few spots with very minimal surface noise, may have very light scuffs, still has some sheen, may have some spindle marks.
VG: Handling and wear more visible, still plays fine, with occasional surface noise, not as much sheen as VG+, may have some spindle marks.
I won't sell records that are at least VG.
Covers and sleeves will be graded on an individual basis.
All records will be shipped in a padded, heavy cardboard container. All used albums will be shipped with the vinyl out of the original sleeve to preserve sleeve spine and cover integrity.
No hassle returns; my goal is 100% satisfied record buyers. It's all about the music!
I do combined shipping discounts.
Shipping quoted is for the Cont. US only. International buyers please request a shipping quote before bidding. Items not paid for in 5 days will be re-listed.
