You Are Considering...

CARCASS – NECROTICISM: DESCANTING THE INSALUBRIOUS LP (1991 1st Pressing).

EARACHE RECORDS: MOSH 42 LP

RELEASED: 30th October 1991.

VINYL: EXCELLENT.*

COVER: EXCELLENT.*

ALSO INCLUDED, AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICTURES PROVIDED, ARE THREE OF THE ORIGINAL FOUR POSTCARDS THAT CAME WITH THE LP (BILL STEER IS MISSING).

ALSO INCLUDED IS A VERY RARE POSTER, THIS WAS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE ORIGINAL PRESSING – SO MAKES THIS PACKAGE ALMOST UNIQUE, THE POSTER IS AGAIN PICTURED – ROUGHLY A2 IN SIZE, THESE WERE SENT OUT TO RECORD STORES ONLY FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES – THE POSTER CONTAINS ARTWORK PERTAINING TO THE LP AND ALSO HAS DETAILS DATES OF CARCASS' NOVEMBER 1991 UK TOUR.

THERE IS A DOUBLE SIDED LYRIC AND CREDITS SHEET AND A FULL COLOUR A4 DOUBLE SIDED EARACHE MERCHANDISE SHEET INCLUDED.

** About condition, I try and adhere to the Goldmine/Record Collector standard of classification, but find it best to explain the exact condition of everything sold in detail, including any flaws.

I have to say, I probably Undersell my Vinyl in Terms of It's Quality – I'd Rather People Are Overjoyed When They Receive Their Item Than They Are Disappointed! I believe only Unplayed, (or Perhaps Played Once Only) Vinyls Deserve NM Grading – I would NEVER Grade any Vinyl as MINT, Ever. Not Mine, Not Yours - Maybe if They Pressed Records Out in The Vacuum of Outer Space, Perhaps Then!?

In the case of this copy of 'Carcass – Necroticism: Descanting The Insalubrious LP', the vinyl is pristine, aside from one tiny dustmark speck on Side One. There is a close-up in the picture gallery, I currently do not have a carbon brush or velvet so I would not attempt to remove this myself, however playback is unaffected and I would guess this very superficial flaw would be easily enough removed by the successful buyer, this is why I refrain from a higher grading.

The cover is again in excellent condition, the spine has held up particularly well in the twenty four years since the record's release. There is a small and almost unnoticeable difference in light reflection on the front cover of about 2cm square, this is possibly where a price sticker was – it is almost imperceptible to the eye and only pointed out to make the buyer aware. The Insert is excellent-condition.

This is a classic of 'the melodic meeting the skull-crushing' variety of Death Metal, from one of the Originators of the Genre, Not Many Copies of This LP Come onto the Market with So Many of the Original or Additional Items included – I have never seen a copy with the Promo Poster sold on Ebay before.

Remember as well as the LP, there are Three Postcards and The UK Tour and Record Store Only LP Promo Poster.

I AM HAPPY TO SHIP OVERSEAS, THERE FOLLOWS BELOW A PRICE GUIDE, TOP ESTIMATE, TO TRACKABLE OVERSEAS SHIPPING PRICES. I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE PROMPT EXACT PRICES ON REQUEST (MESSAGE ME) FOR SHIPPING OVERSEAS BY WEIGHING THE ITEMS YOU WANT TO BUY – THE PRICE GUIDE BELOW IS PRETTY ACCURATE THOUGH.

1 LP to Europe - £10.15 1 LP to Rest of World - £12.45 1 LP to Singapore & Oceania - £12.90

3 LPs to Europe - £12.51 3 LPs to Rest of World - £17.20 3 LPs to Singapore & Oceania - £18.15

5 LPs to Europe - £15.81 5 LPs to Rest of World - £21.55 5 LPs to Singapore & Oceania - £23.10

7 LPs to Europe - £16.96 7 LPs to Rest of World - £23.25 7 LPs to Singapore & Oceania - £25.00

In the case of 8 LPs – They Will SOMETIMES Make The 7 LP Price Bracket detailed above (UK Weight Limit for Overseas Shipping is 2kg per parcel) if not, we must start with a new parcel and shipping must be split into two parcels.

IN ALL CASES, UK AND OVERSEAS, I WILL COMBINE POSTAGE – AND MAKE POSTAGE DISCOUNTS OF COURSE. I SHIP AS SOON AS I'M PAID, SAME DAY OR NEXT DAY AT THE LATEST.

POSTAGE COSTS ARE POSTAGE COSTS ONLY – AND CHECKABLE AGAINST THE ROYAL MAIL WEBSITE PRICELIST (see link below).

I DO NOT CHARGE FOR PACKING MATERIALS OR ANY OF THE OTHER DUBIOUS 'EXTRAS' SOME SELLERS MAY CHARGE FOR, SUCH AS THE ABSTRACT CONCEPT OF 'MY TIME'.

MY PARCELS ARE LEGENDARY IN THE UNDERGROUND METAL SCENE FOR THEIR INDESTRUCTABLE NATURE – THINK OF THE FILM 'IRON MAN' AND THIS WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA, I REFUSE TO USE FLIMSY AND THIN CARD MAILERS AND THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE PARCEL WEIGHT – THE PACKAGING ALONE USUALLY COMES IN AT AROUND 300-350 GRAMS – THIS IS NOT EXCESSIVE IN MY OPINION, IT MEANS THE LP ARRIVES IN THE SAME CONDITION AS IT LEFT.

A NOTE TO ANYONE THINKING OF BIDDING FROM OVERSEAS – WAIT FOR MY INVOICE BEFORE MAKING PAYMENT IF YOU WIN.

ALSO, NON-UK BUYERS, WHEN SHIPPING OVERSEAS IS REQUIRED – BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF PACKING MATERIALS I'VE FOUND THAT OFTEN PARCELS CONTAINING THREE OR FIVE LPs ARE THE MOST ECONOMICAL. THE COST OF SHIPPING THREE LPs OFTEN WORKS OUT ALMOST AS CHEAPLY AS THE COST OF SHIPPING ONE LP. WITH THIS IN MIND, IF YOU HAVE INTEREST IN ANY ITEMS ENDING AT A LATER DATE, I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE PARCELS AND HAPPY TO WAIT UNTIL FURTHER OF MY AUCTIONS HAVE ENDED BEFORE SHIPPING IN ORDER TO MAKE MULTIPLE LP PARCELS.

HAPPY BIDDING – ANY QUESTIONS MESSAGE ME FOR A PROMPT REPLY.

ONE FINAL NOTICE - ALL PURCHASES OVER £12 MUST BE SENT RECORDED WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

PLEASE DON'T REQUEST CHEAPER UNTRACKABLE DELIVERY.

(THIS IS DUE TO EBAY'S BUYER PROTECTION POLICY).
