This is a genuine original pressing of Darkthrones mega rare "A Blaze In The Northern Sky" LP on Peaceville label - Catalog number - VILE 28  - 1992

My descriptions are a warts and all description, and due to this, the descriptions are only describing the negative aspects of the record.
A mint record description needs just one word... Mint ... all other descriptions are describing the negative variances from a "Mint" record, so please understand that these descriptions are a critical analysis to ensure the buyer has no unexpected surprises when the record arrives.
My descriptions are accurate and honest descriptions of the negative aspects of the record.

All Gradings I give are harsh, but safe. I Never use the grading of "MINT" unless it is sealed AND perfect.
"NEAR MINT" is only used if it is unsealed AND perfect.
Both mint  and near mint gradings are describing "as new" items and are descriptions that are often abused on eBay.


The A side Vinyl (VG+) Vinyl has surface marks and some fine hairlines, but they have very little effect on playback. Good clean and strong audio with very little background noise, just an occasional tick in quieter areas.
Matrix  / Run-out - MPO VILE 28 A1 BLACK FUKKIN METALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL (completely around the entire run-out groove area. It is original and shows up more prominently than most etchings and stamps, and it looks absolutely fukkin awesome)

The B side Vinyl (VG) Vinyl has surface marks and some fine hairlines, but they have very little effect on playback. Good clean and strong audio with very little background noise, just an occasional tick.
Matrix / Run-out (Side B, hand-etched): MPO VILE 28 B1 THE RERETURN

The labels (EX) both are excellent

The cover (G) is complete with the inner sleeve with song lyrics. It is in good condition, with scuffing on corners and edges.The cover surface has faint ring wear and some small spots of missing ink (see pics)

The inner sleeve / lyric sheet (VG) is excellent, with some very minor edge wear but has a 3cm seam split

All records come with a half round inner poly record sleeve, (whether it was issued with one or not). I store my vinyl records separate from their covers and inner sleeves.
If a paper inner sleeve is what was originally used, it will come with both the paper and poly inner sleeves)
All record covers come in a clear plastic or PVC outer sleeve cover.

Due to eBay increasing charges, and now taking a slice of postage costs, all items of fixed price, and all reserve prices on auctions has to be increased.
eBay cannot expect inflationary pressures such as these to not effect the sales price of listed items, and I suggest to everyone to complain to eBay about this grab for cash from a service that is based on software.
This is a change inspired by greed.
instead of 9% of the sales price, eBay are now going to slug us all 10% of the total price including postage... this is a massive inflationary pressure, that offers no value to you or me.

I would like to hear from anyone with similar thoughts on this matter, and launch some sort of campaign or petition against these thieves.
I would suggest ALL sellers put a notice like this in their listings
