AC/DC

Iconic 1984 LP! 

Flick of the Switch (Rare Promo!)

Graded Cover/Record

And check out the cool inner sleeve.  You can't get this with CD's or digital downloads anymore!

I am selling off my entire Pop, Rock and Roll, Jazz and Surf record collection that I have been collecting for over 40 years. Up for bid is a nice LP original pressing of AC/DC! 

If you're a record collector and audiophile, the cover condition is not the important part.  It is the fact that the vinyl are in super clean VG+ (almost Near MINT) condition!  Warm analog sound! Remember that the 1980's vinyl and notably Atlantic vinyl is the best sounding with great warm bass and sweet mids.  Definitely better than all that artificially EQ'd CD rerelease crap with noise reduction and artificial enhancements.  You will definitely hear the difference!  Atlantic vinyl from the 1980's sounds awesome!  Note that I have conservatively graded everything.  In other words, if a record is graded VG+, it is more than likely closer to Near Mint.

AC DC: Flick of the Switch (Licensed For Promotion Only) Atlantic: VG+/VG+ Vinyl is officially VG+ condition due to some swirling scuffs and hairlines from taking out of the inner sleeve but looks I don’t believe it was ever played as it looks like it has never been out of its sleeve from the factory.  I think the faults are from the factory. It really looks Near Mint if not for the faults above.    I have played this and it sounds warm and dynamic (if heavy metal is capable of sounding warm)!  Cover would also be in Near Mint condition if not for the residue of another LP that has stuck on to the rear bottom corner of the back cover about 4 inches long and 2 inches wide.  Promo sticker on front cover is in excellent shape.   

Sound Quality: A fantastic sounding album and it sounds fantastic! You all know that the 70's and 80's vinyl pressings are the way to go and the recording, mastering, quality, and sound are FANTASTIC! You won't find this stuff anymore. Just take a listen for yourself like I did. Nice warm analog sound before compact discs and the ugly heavy hand of digital artifacts, noise reduction, EQ, loudness and compression!

Condition: I grade according to Goldmine standards. That means a VG+ vinyl will be just that, an LP that is in beautiful condtion! I am very picky when it comes to grading and grade to Goldmine standards. I absolutely hate it when dealers ameliorate the condition of the vinyl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially when I am the buyer!! All my LP's have been stored in my house upright on a shelf in an air conditioned and dry environment, meaning no warping, staining or mildew!

Track Listing: Please see the photos! If you need more photos or a better description, please let me know and I will gladly describe it in detail for you.

Shipping: Shipping will be via USPS Media Mail $5 and $.25 for each additional LP and will be mailed in a sturdy LP mailer. International bidders, please wait for an invoice.  I combine shipping for multiple wins.
