*I am currently selling a collection of Heavy Metal and rock LPs, predominantly from the late 70’s to the early 90’s but with the odd outlier thrown in. All well looked after and some real rarities. I combine shipping and always remove the vinyl from the sleeve before packing and posting. Where anything other than a generic white inner is present, the vinyl is always placed in a brand new white inner to preserve the original. Brand new ‘clear glass’ plastic sleeves are added to all LPs. I describe items accurately as I know how disappointing it is to receive a much anticipated record where flaws have been glossed over or gone unmentioned. I try to listen to each record before describing it but if I don’t have time I will listen to selected parts to gauge the level of background noise and I will always listen to any passages where there are surface marks to judge the impact these have. I always give positive feedback after payment so the customer is able to give feedback purely judged on the service once they have received the item. If you are unhappy in any way I will refund with no questions asked. Thank you for your interest in this listing and please check out my other records.*

Sepultura

Schizophrenia

Shark 006


A great copy of the original European press (preceded only by the Brazilian Cogumelo press) of Sepultura’s second album. This record represented a huge evolution on the band’s path to the classic albums to follow and stands up well in its own right.

The sleeve is in Very Good+ condition, not far off Excellent. There is a bit of creasing and a small area of sticker residue on the rear but overall a clean and vibrant copy. The inner is a generic white inner as issued.

The vinyl and labels are visually excellent, a great sheen with minimal surface marking and certainly no scratches to affect what is very robust playback with some background static in quiet parts and between tracks.

Here is the pressing info:

1st press

Recorded in 16 track at J.G. Estudios, Belo Horizonte, August 1987.
