PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
BIG lot of vinyl by former Motorhead guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke's Fastway!!!
1) Self Titled LP - original Chet Bennett mastered Carrollton first pressing from 1983 with printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!! LP is a beautiful VG++. Cover is VG/VG+ with a crease in top left hand corner.
2) Easy Livin' 45 - rare UK pressing from 1983 on CBS with original sleeve that folds out into a big poster of the front cover image on the reverse, original black CBS inner sleeve and the killer Say What You Will on the B-side!!! Vinyl is VG+ with no scratches or scuffs and some cosmetic clouding. Sleeve is VG+ as well with some age discoloration near the folds on the credits side.
3) Far Far From Home 45 - rare one-sided white label promotional pressing from 1983 with small center hole in the original Columbia black & white sleeve!!! Vinyl is a beautiful VG++ with a few barely visible paper scuffs.
4) We Become One 45 - rare UK pressing from 1983 on CBS with rigid glossy pic sleeve, small center hole and non-LP track Crazy Dream on the reverse!!! Vinyl is VG++ with a light scuff on side A. Sleeve is easily VG+, close to VG++, with a hint of wear at the opening on top.
5) After Midnight 45 - rare white label promotional pressing from 1986 in the original Columbia sleeve!!! Vinyl is easily VG+, close to VG++, with a few light paper scuffs.
Buying every item in this collection individually would cost $22.50 in shipping ALONE so don't sleep Motorhead collectors.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
