EMC 3512 UK 1986

Matrix nos:

EMC 3512 A DMM4-4-1-? IT WERE SO LOUD Sterling Sound D (the ? Could be a 3 etched over another number)

EMC 3512-B-DMM 2U-1-1- “EVEN QUIET BITS WERE LOUD” Sterling Sound D

Vinyl looks Near Mint, just some very faint sleeve removal scuffs visible under bright light. There is a small production blemish (on “maiden at one o’clock) on the side one label, this is a printing issue and not damage.

Sleeve is EX+, clean and crisp, the only (very minor) flaw is slight wear to the top edge as shown in last photo, no other wear of note.

Original lyric / Picture inner NEAR MINT with no wear of note

The Fan Club merchandising insert is EX+ with a small crease on bottom right corner (band photo side)

Please see photos.

The records has been cleaned on my Pro-Ject VC-S cleaner using fluid that is alcohol free.

I have other iron maiden LPs that I will be selling individually soon, most Ex to near mint and all with merchandising Inserts.

If you have any questions please ask.

------------------

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 spotlight. 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
