RUSH 2112 UK LP Mercury 9100 039. Released 1976.

This auction is for an original UK 1st pressing of this classic Rush album, released in 1976. Both the gatefold sleeve and LP are in superb condition, it really is one of the best copies you will ever find!

Detailed Gradings: -

Outer Sleeve: EX+

The matt gatefold sleeve is in superb condition and is free of any significant damage or wear.  It lies perfectly flat and has clearly been looked after extremely well.  There is one light 2cm semi-circular thumb crease under the second “2” in 2112 which is not particularly noticeable, some extremely feint and isolated wear to the bottom and top edges, and some extremely light wear to the rear of the cover - again in isolated areas only. I mention all of these points for completeness sake, but make no mistake, this is a fantastic copy of this sleeve which is not far off grading as Near Mint condition.  It really is superb!

Vinyl: (Visual): Near Mint

This is an exceptionally clean copy of this record. Under bright halogen light it is extremely difficult to identify any flaws on the surface of the LP. There is just the most superficial signs of use from what must have been a minimal number of plays.

Vinyl (Audio): Near Mint

Th LP plays superbly, with great dynamics and clarity. It also plays very quietly indeed and what can be heard in the way of any background noise is almost undetectable. A superb copy from start to finish.

The vinyl sits (and revolves) absolutely flat on the turntable.

Inner Sleeve: EX-

Generic Polygram inner sleeve. The poly-lined inner sleeve has some general light creasing but is clean and unsplit. 

Matrix Numbers:

9100 039  1Y //1  420 04 11 18 PR

9100 039  2Y// 1  420 04 11 20

Labels: EX+

Nice and clean with no writing or other damage and perfectly clean. A couple of feint spindle marks can be seen on side 2 when held to bright light.

Please note I grade conservatively.

Postage and Packing:

Records are stored flat outside the sleeve 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.
