Fiction Records Fixh20 Double LP released in 1992, play tested.

Matrix Numbers / Stampers:

513 861-1 A1 / B1 / C1 / D1

Both vinyls are visually VG+ clean with just light marks / hairlines & scuffing, no bad scratches. All sides play fine, nice audio with no skips and no repetitive clicks, there is some noticeable light crackle mainly in the gaps / run ins but it is not problematic, where present it’s largely buried in the music although it is more evident on “Apart”.

The sleeve is VG, it’s all intact, no major problems but overall looks a bit tired with ring wear and wear to the edges, especially to the top & bottom of the opening (see photos). The spine is partially legible and there’s some sticker residue on the front top left. However there are no seam splits to the spine or to the centres of the top and bottom edges.

The original lyric inners are VG+, no splits just some general light wear / creasing.

The discs have been machine cleaned on my Pro-ject machine (using Pro-ject’s own alcohol free cleaning fluid) and come in brand new anti static lined inners.

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

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 mailer with stiffening. If requested I will pack with the record removed from the outer sleeve (normally with double lps I pack with the discs inside to prevent crushing of the spine).

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

Please note: I meant to state this originally but somehow forgot, on side 2 track 1 there are some visible needle lines (non-feelable), mostly in the general direction of the grooves. I’ve double checked the audio, listening on headphones, and there was no impact on play whatsoever.
