*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.*

This listing:

Iron Maiden

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

EMI 1988 EMD 1006

1st issue of this album.

The sleeve is Near Excellent with some handling evidence on the spine but retaining a vibrant overall appearance.

The original inner is Near Mint - a lovely, crisp looking copy.

The vinyl is Excellent. Some very light marks under close scrutiny and bright light but the playback is fantastic with very little interference in quieter parts.

There is a Merchandise insert with this copy which advertises the first seven albums on one side and available videos on the reverse. Strangely the albums seem to have different release codes on the insert and researching these has proved fruitless. An interesting addition nonetheless!
