RUSH 2112 1st UK Press Mercury LP Stunning 1st Matrix 1Y//1 2Y//1 Mint Vinyl!



RUSH 2112 UK LP Mercury 9100039. 1976
 
Please also see my other Rock and prog LP’s that I am currently auctioning on eBay.
 
Up for sale here is a stunning copy of Rush 2112 which has maybe been played just once or twice!! The condition is simply amazing throughout and the vinyl is graded as MINT. Beautiful.
 
Grading: -
 
Outer Sleeve: EX+
 
The laminated outer gatefold sleeve is in EX+ condition. It is quite simply a superb example, being clean and free of any notable defects. There is just some extremely minor wear on the inside of the gatefold, which is just visible against the black background in a couple of isolated areas, but this is a very minor point. One of the best examples I have ever seen. Superb.
 
Vinyl: MINT
 
The Vinyl is in MINT condition. The LP has perhaps been removed from the sleeve just a couple of times. I cannot see any imperfections of any significance even when the LP is examined under strong halogen light.  The LP bears the very first matrix number sequence as below.
 
Matrix:
 
Side 1: 9100039 1Y//1 420 04 1 5 1 1 (stamped)  PR (etched)
Side 2: 9100039 2Y//1 420 04 1 5 1 3 (stamped)
 
Labels: MINT
 
The Labels are in Mint condition – perfectly clean NO signs of ANY spindle lines whatsoever.
 
 
 
Inner Sleeve: VG+
 
This LP also comes with a generic inner sleeve which is perfectly intact with no seam splits but has some brown patches probably due to ageing.
 
Overall this is a really superb original 1st matrix copy.  Copies this good are very rare nowadays.
 
Postage and Packing:
 
All records are placed in a separate poly lined inner and stored flat outside the sleeve and then placed sealed in a re-sealable polythene outer prior to shipping.  Records are then placed between square cardboard sheets before packaging into cruciform mailers especially designed for LP’s. These mailers are a high-grade type which reinforce the edges around the LP and as such they are larger and weigh more than standard mailers.  My postage costs reflect the additional size and weight of the packaging that I use.
