1983 Some Bizzare CBS 25737 limited edition first pressing with 12 inch EP included.
Vinyl looks G+, has marks and small scratches, plays through but with no skips or sticking but with some crackle and clicks, heavy in places, especially on side A. The EP looks VG+ with light marks.
All labels are clean and free of marks / handwriting.
The sleeve is G with general wear, fairly heavy around edges and with a 4cm split in the middle of the bottom edge and a 3cm rip on the rear opening. Also a small bit of sticker removal damage on the front.
The original inner is VG+, signs of light wear but no splits or rips.
A scarce first issue, playable but far from perfect, one to hold on to until a better copy comes along.
Please see photos.
If more than one LP is purchased I can post up to 4 or 5 LPs for £4 in total via Royal Mail 2nd class signed for (UK only)
------------------
Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spoltlight. Play testing is done on a pro-ject turntable.
If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.
Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening.
Mint (M) - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable
Good (G) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
