Iron Maiden 'The X-Factor' UK '95 ORG DBL LP Clear Color with Condition Issues VG/G+

First issue, UK 1995 Original 11-tracks full-length Album, Double Vinyl Record LPs set with color printed 10pgs insert. 

Title released by EMI UK in England. This copy has condition issues, please read below carefully, item listed half price.

CONDITION: 

Record(s): Both records play-graded and thoroughly tested on a Reloop MK4000 adjusting-weight turntable system.

Record 1: G+, first record has a few visible scratches/marks on each side that do not affect playability*. Please keep in mind, this was checked on a weight-adjusted-arm* turntable system. If the system you are planning to use the LPs does not support this option, record may skip at points.

Record 2: VG+, second record visually graded looks very good, almost close to excellent but play-grades VG. Extra surface noise audible at most parts, some ticks, pops and scratch sounds present, could use a pro-cleaning that would minor this issue.

Cover: VG, jacket has wear and general signs of age/use as pictured. Some corner / spine and edge-wear and has slight discoloration on part of the inside of Gatefold. No seam splits, tears or cut-outs, no price tag marks or any other serious flaw as pictured.

Insert: VG+, has creases allover but no tears missing parts or any other flaw.

SHIPPING COST for Double (and/or Gatefold cover) 12" EP/LP

GRADING:

We use our own grading definitions to better describe vinyl records, mainly based on well known official grading systems. We try our best to accurately describe the condition of vinyl and cover and usually downgrade our products to meet highest buyer expectations. Please take some time to read notes below and learn more about the condition of the item(s) you are interested.

SS = STILL SEALED: Record is still factory / label sealed in its original plastic shrink. Label sealed items, may still show light signs of handling on cover or label's shrink-wrap.

M = MINT: Record is flawless like it has just been opened. Never been played or item is still sealed. Cover and any extra items included such as lyric-sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition with no visible signs of wear at all. We never use this term for used items but we will use it for records that originally come unsealed by label and are actually new and un-played.

NM = NEAR MINT: Record is like new with no obvious surface marks and has been played / audio-tested one or two times. Cover and contents are nearly perfect and one or two hardly visible imperfections or insignificant marks on cover and/or record might be present.

EX (+/-) = EXCELLENT: Record shows few signs of being played and might have minor and insignificant signs of use like light hairline, particles of dust or a couple of finger marks etc. Surface area is clean and shiny and there is unnoticeable to zero lessening in sound quality. Cover and contents might have slight wear and/or creasing. We use the plus (+) and minus (-) symbols in this grading category, to better describe the condition of each item.

VG+ = VERY GOOD PLUS: Record has been played quite a few times but there is no significant deterioration in sound quality, despite visible surface marks like light scratches and / or light scuffs. Records of this grading are still in very good condition and have no heavy marks / scratches or any major defects. Some ticks or pops might be present at play but no skips allowed in this category. The cover has obvious signs of use / wear like a slight mark from removed price tag, some corner or edge wear and acceptable creasing but no major defects like seam or spine splits, tears, cut-outs, missing parts or any type of discoloration.

VG = VERY GOOD: Record has been played many times but there is still no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch(es) or visible scuffing. Surface area is not too shiny and clean. Noticeable wear, price tag marks and/or small tear(s) are obvious on cover or contents but still no major defects.

VG- = G = GOOD: Sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. but in general terms record is still acceptable. We rarely to never list records of this grading category but only if item is extremely rare to suit collection-filling purposes.

F/P = FAIR/POOR: We never list records of these grading categories or any less than VG.
