Hey you Metalheads, gear up. It's an OG copy, and it's a killer friggin' album. This copy is a bit worn, but still plays pretty solid, I gotta say.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG (6.5 of 10) OK vinyl. It's got some superficial scuffing. No actual "scratches" or feelers or anything. Has light background a little, but in general it plays pretty solid. There's one nastier looking mark pictured that I thought was going to break it down to a VG-, but it actually played right through with a light rotational sound for a few spins and that's it. Overall it's not bad. Look at photos closely, I tried to make them descriptive.
COVER: VG (6.5 of 10) Cover is OK as well. The two issues are creasing and seam wear. No splits or writing, etc. Worn but still pretty decent. This seems to be the issue with all the Maiden stuff I find. _______ Now the standard messages:

GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.

CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on my own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.

TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, I am temporarily suspending international shippments. Once international Post catches up, I begin again.
SHIPPING: Free for anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve. 
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do try to describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction
