All Russian pressings of QUEEN LPs are truly scarce (except for the Greatest Hits released several years earlier on the state Melodiya label). These were produced in very small quantities shortly before the St.Petersburg record plant was closed (1995). So, probably, here you have one-of-a-kind chance to buy a truly top copy. Just try to find them for sale in ANY condition and you'll see...
From a former St. Petersburg Melodiya record store manager's collection. Being a lady, the previous owner just kept the records but never listened to rock music albums so the vast majority of albums I'm currently listing are UNPLAYED. I do not grade them as Mint only because Russian records never came factory sealed. Even for unplayed LPs please allow minimal occasional natural low-level "static" during playback due to the quality of the 1990's Russian vinyl.
All the inner sleeves are guaranteed to be the original factory ones.
Note that some records may have a small degree of warping but even if they do it is never critical and noticeable only by the tonearm moving just a bit up and down during playback. I guarantee all the records to play perfectly on any turntable with any cartridge. I don't consider such things as significant faults but if this is critical for you please inquire about particular records, I always answer promptly!
The cover is TOP condition, just can't be better.
The record is in Near Mint condition visually: I see no surface marks at all except for a hardly visible paper inner sleeve rubbing along the run-in in one place. Playtested: in the start of both sides and during several quieter passages some low-level "vinyl background" is heard along with occasional "static". So, to avoid disappointment, I give it an Excellent playgrade. I'm sure the playback nuances are due to the vinyl quality as, again, the record shows no surface marks.Treating records
I always treat vinyl records with the greatest care - just because I love them. All the records I sell have been cleaned and placed in brand new anti-static inner sleeves. Original inners are surely preserved. For further packing I use brand new re-sealable outer sleeves and custom German made LP mailers.
Shipping worldwide!
Shipping cost is the same for any destination in the world: $13 for this LP.
I am happy to combine your purchases; combined shipping saves your money! I do not require immediate payment so please buy as many items as you wish and then request total. Combined shipping costs are most effective for 3 LPs ($19, under 1 kg weight) and 8 LPs ($32, under 2 kg weight).
I ship worldwide by Registered Air Mail and obtain an internationally valid tracking number. If the postal service of your country (like USA USPS) allows incoming parcel tracing, you'll be able to use this number. However, postal services of such countries as Canada and Great Britain (some others too) do not offer such option, sorry.
I have sold 1000's of records during last 19 years and never had a request for return. Anyway, if you decide to be the first please note: returns ARE accepted but please contact me within three days upon receipt if there's something you don't like. Return shipping is at the buyer's expense.
