MEGA RARE COUNTING CROWS: Recovering The Satellites 1996 US 14-track 2-LP MINT Welcome to my listings.

Before you place a bid would you / could you take the time to please read my listing including the Terms & Conditions.
Terms & Conditions you will find below at the bottom of my listing and unless I have mis-written them I believe they are quite clear. If they are not or you wish to clarify anything then please message/email me before bidding.

If you just want to skip to the details about this item, see the descriptive text below and check out the photos in the listing by enlarging and scrolling through.

All the LP's that are listed have been cleaned by The Audio Desk Systeme Vinyl Pro Cleaner which incorporates an ultrasonic cleaning cycle to a more conventional mechanical cleaning via bi-directional rotating micro fiber cleaning drums, the result is the cleanest LP's ever. Unlike other record cleaners the ultrasonic Vinyl Cleaner bursts millions of microscopic bubbles off the surface of the record all the way to the bottom of the groove, where no fibre is fine enough to reach. Among vinyl cleaners the Audio Desk System Vinyl Cleaner is unique in using filtered air for drying, rather than one of the static-inducing suction systems employed by other vinyl cleaning products.

All items are packed and dispatched in heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements. I use heavy duty packaging tape. I always separate the LP from the sleeve and any inner sleeves that are part of the LP. This stops any damage to the item while in transit.

All overseas Bidders please do not check out before I send you an invoice.

COUNTING CROWS: Recovering The Satellites Deleted and Very Rare Original 1st 1996 US 14-track 2-LP vinyl set produced by Gil Norton, in a gatefold picture sleeve with picture / lyric inners. A awesome copy of this incredibly hard and rare to find '90s vinyl pressing. DGC224975.

NOT PLAY GRADED: Please note that this is a used item and there is always isolated static, ticks, light pops that maybe or can be heard, even in the quieter places during the play of any vinyl. There will be elements of surface noise. More noise than others. Please remember that this is an original 24 year old vinyl. A habit of cleaning the vinyl with a carbon brush before each play will reduce any static. If possible you should have the LP professionally cleaned periodically.

I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable/system - Cartridge and stylus profile, tracking weight, Arm VTA, arm type all go to make a difference to the sound of an LP.

THE COVER: The semi glossy cover shows virtually no wear to the top and bottom edges plus spine. The spine remains crisp with clearly visible and readable text. The surface has very light creasing with no scuffing, The opening edge remains clean and crisp with no feathering. I have graded the cover in NEAR MINT condition.

THE INSIDE COVER: There can clearly be seen from the images supplied surface damage to the inside of the gatefold, this is not due to water damage as the LP has been stored in an upright position in my collection so is somewhat a mystery why the surface areas glued together. Apart from this which is very annoying I have graded the cover in VERY GOOD condition.

THE BACK COVER: As the front showing no scuffing, there are no other defects. I have graded the back cover again in NEAR MINT condition.

THE INSERT: The picture/lyric card insert remains in NEAR MINT condition with no visible damage.

THE INNER SLEEVE: Clear Poly inner.

THE VINYL: All sides of this double vinyl LP shows a very clean deep beautiful shine. There are no deep scratches which can be seen or felt too any side of this LP. There are virtually no hairline or surface marks when held under a strong light. I have graded the vinyl in MINT condition.
Side 1 in MINT condition. Side 2 in MINT condition.
Side 3 in MINT condition. Side 4 in MINT condition.
Archive quality Vinyl.

THE LABELS: The labels are in MINT condition showing virtually no spindle marks around the central spindle hole.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
GRADING: I only grade in line with UK Record Collector grading system as set out in the Record Collector Price Guide book, and do not use USA Goldmine grading system. The only difference I make against the Record Collector grading system is I grade a record Mint if its sealed, I do not believe a record to be mint if not sealed. My highest grade for an opened LP is near mint.
I grade under a strong light that picks out any imperfections on the vinyl.

If for any reason you disagree with my grading or reasoning then please email me through the ebay message system and lets resolve the matter as adults before leaving negative feedback. Everybody on here believes they are an expert well we are not, we are human and can sometimes get things wrong. If I have got it so wrong I will work with you to resolve it. I can not be any fairer than that, but please check my feedback you will see I do not get it wrong that often, I try very hard to give an accurate description, apart from the one member who left negative because I would not be subjected to feedback hostaging.
Please note all International buyers you are responsible for any custom charges incurred.
