U.S. Issued 2014 remaster on 180-gram vinyl with replica gatefold sleeve and working, original cover wheel. Back cover has the Swan Song hologram in lower right corner. Manufactured in Germany

Visually the vinyl looks VG+, it is shiny and bright and looks hardly played with no spindle traces. There is a visible surface scuff on the first track, however this Is superficial it does not affect play at all. Also on close inspection of side 2 first track there’s a small scratch running in the direction of the grooves that generates some clicks for 30 secs or so on the intro. Apart from that it plays absolutely fine. I’ve played it all the way through and apart from side 2 intro it plays superbly, no sticking, no skips, no other clicks, no persistent crackle.

The gatefold sleeve is EX+, no splits / rips or surface tears, no handwriting, no edge wear, fully working wheel, just a tiny crease on rear top left corner.

Postage will be tracked and fully insured.

International Buyers: postage costs will vary according to country and sale price but won’t be more than the quoted price and will be less for Europe. Please ask for quote / wait for invoice. Any customs / Vat / import duties to be paid by buyer

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

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 my Pro-ject or Rega 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. I will pack with the record removed from the outer sleeve.

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
