What It Is: This is the first Japanese pressing of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures from 1984 on Factory Records, pressed by Nippon Columbia. The textured jacket is VG+ with some wear, but the OBI looks like it was crumpled up at some point -- it's intact, but very creased and there are about 6 1/4" tears. The record is a strong VG++ with only single spindle marks on each side and a few light hairlines. The play grade is VG++ with great sound, but some light tics. Does not include the lyric / info sheet. This copy has been stored carefully in a dark, dry, temperature-controlled environment.

Grading:

All items are visually graded, and if they've been play graded that will be noted. I follow . My grading is conservative, at least as good as I would expect from anyone that I would buy from.

Payment:

I accept PayPal. If you must return the item, it must be in the same condition that I sent it, but I will refund your full purchase price and return shipping cost within the USA (outside of the USA, I'll refund the bid price, but you must pay for return shipping unless I've made a serious error, in which case I'll pay shipping too) -- I guarantee your satisfaction.

Shipping cost and Insurance:

Within the USA: I ship via the US Postal Service, priority and media mail. Costs are based on the shipping weight and package size. Please contact me for shipping to other locations. As always, if your winning bid is above $50, I will pay for insurance within the USA.

Outside of the USA:I now use eBay Global Shipping for all international shipments -- it avoids headaches for both buyer and seller.

Thanks for bidding!
