-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite rare these days and one of the few really great MFSL's. Especially "The End" offers sonics 2die4.
I compare my pressings on top notch equipment, using the expensive BENZ MICRO SLR Gullwing MC-cartridge with the Micro Ridge cut diamond. It reveals everything from any Vinyl which sometimes can be a curse, especially with 40+ year old records. When I grade a record as Excellent, I am pretty sure many other sellers would not hestitate to call it Near Mint. When I give a record the "Near Mint" grading it is practically flawless. I am collecting Vinyl since 35+ years and own hundreds of records from the day they came into the shops.
The Vinyl: NEAR MINT
Held up into a very strong light I can see a very few wispy hairlines but no scratches. The Vinyl is clean and shiny. The playback is fantastic throughout. The Vinyl sits flat on the turntable.
The Labels: EXCELLENT+
No spindle traces, very clean except for a few tiny yellow spots which hardly can be seen.These have exactly the same color as the "Original Master Recording" credit on top of the labels so presumably they are imperfections from label printing and no dirt or stain, no unwanted writing.
The Original Sleeve: VG++. Unlaminated and made of heavy cardboard, bits of edge rubbing and soft rubbing in places on back, one slight corner crease (1 cm). A very hard to preserve sleeve. It has no rips, tears or stain.
Original Inner Sleeve: Cardboard Gatefold in flawless condition, "Rice paper" Inner has some creases but no splits.
In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to mail me. I will answer promptly.
Due to the somehow weird eBay policies regarding postage please ignore the postage fee mentioned above. I decided to fix shipping at 7 GBP to anywhere in Europe and 9 GBP to the rest of the world. This includes the fees for "signed for/registered" and also Insurance to make sure the record arrives safely. It also allows to track it during its transit. The record ships from Germany.
I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
Good luck.
