This Marillion double LP vinyl record, released in 1988 by EMI, features their live performance of "The Thieving Magpie (La Gazza Ladra)". The cardboard sleeve and black vinyl are in excellent condition, graded as VG+ and EX respectively. The record comes with its original inner sleeve and cover, making it a first edition, first pressing with all the original features. Please note that the inners are graded as VG+ as the glue has sadly worn on the inners. A simple fix, no rips, just a clean break.


This progressive rock, folk, and art rock album is a must-have for fans of Marillion and collectors of vinyl records.


————————————


Thanks for looking - I’m downsizing my personal record collection and would like these to go to decent people who can listen to these and enjoy them like I have.


I’ve literally played this once or twice and because it’s not essential for me it’s going. On a nice clean vinyl, sounds good and it’s a decent press.


All my records are sent RECORDED delivery with heavy mailers in proper secure condition. Once they’re out of my hands it’s down to postmen but I’ve 100% feedback. Don’t try and say you’ve not received it, because that’s why I send recorded.


I’ve researched the market as a guideline to list the starting prices of my records, based on recent sales and the going rates of what’s been sold.


You can pay the same postage for 2 records, add on £1 for packaging for 4 records and postage stays the same so grab some bargains!


All records have been play tested unless sealed and graded with a high spec, meticulous view. I buy my records and only really sell them if they’re not essential for me anymore so rarely part with them as I’m a picky listener.


Records are posted out tracked and insured (where applicable) to comply with eBay and PayPal seller protection policy.


All LPs will be mailed out in a strong cardboard LP mailing box and extra sheets of corrugated cardboard will be used where applicable. Once they’re out of my hands it’s down to postmen but I’ve 100% feedback.


My Vinyl Grading - nothing below these as I only tend to purchase new to VG only.


MINT


No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed.


NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there.


EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there.


VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches.


Finally: don’t be rude or send me messages saying albums don’t work on your setup. All these pressings have been play tested on a REGA setup through Edifier speakers to ensure a clean sold record
