                      COVER AND RECORD DESCRIPTION
           I bought two of these new and unsealed directly from Setanta when it was originally released. Now that it has been re-issued I can get rid of one. This one has been played 2 or 3 times, and no more than that.
     As with the recently released re-issue, this original is also a 180g press. They both sound the same as far as I can hear. This release has 2 different center labels, whereas the re-issue labels are the same headlight label, see the picture.
     And this pressing did not include an inner sleeve, while the re-issue does.
     The re-issue is quite pricey, especially from any vendors here in the States. And the original is impossible to find, or priced outrageously.
     Small seam split top edge, see picture. Otherwise the cover and record are near mint to mint. 


    IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THIS RECORD PLEASE TAKE A SHORT MOMENT TO READ THE SHIPPING AND RETURN POLICIES.                                 
                               GRADING SYSTEM                               RECORD GRADING (1ST) / COVER GRADING (2ND)
    MINT (m) - I can see no marks of any kind on the record or label. No wear, splits or creases on the cover. I RARELY USE THIS GRADE.
    NEAR MINT (nm) - Only very few to several small minor marks / scratches / scuffs on the record that do not affect overall sound quality. Maybe a couple spindle marks                                           on the label. Very light signs of use on the cover. Not quite new, but close, and very well taken care of.
    EXCELLENT (ex-, ex, ex+) - Record and cover both have readily apparent signs of use but nothing major, no deep scratches, maybe several very light scratches /scuffs                                                         but no decrease in sound quality,  with occasional light surface noise and the less occasional "pop". Cover may have some light creases ,                                                             light edge/corner wear, or one small seam split. A record with a "limited number" of minor signs of use and handling, but still in great shape.  
    VERY GOOD (vg+, vg) - Definite signs of use. "USED" but still in good shape and will still provide full listening pleasure. No major damage or scratches, certainly the                                                        usual light to moderate shelf / edge wear on the cover. 
    VG CONDITION DOES NOT MEAN TERRIBLE, UN-LISTENABLE CONDITION. I DON'T LIST ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT, AT LEAST, PROVIDE A DECENT LISTENING EXPERIENCE.
    For any record grading below vg I may grade that as "USED!" - capitol letters, exclamation point. "USED!" means exactly that - well used and handled a lot. And I will give a detailed idea of how the record plays.
     I try to give an audio grading when possible.
     If unsure of a definite grading, I will undergrade the record.
     Please look at the pictures carefully.

                                                                RETURNS        
         The pictures and description should be enough to let you know what you are getting. 
      I try to give an audio grade when possible. But I can't listen to everything. Occasionally a record might look great, but not sound great. If this is the case, or if I have misrepresented the record and/or cover in any way, I will issue a full refund plus return shipping cost upon return of the record. ON THE RETURN THE BUYER MUST INCLUDE DELIVERY OR SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION. If, however, I cannot verify your claim, I will only refund the original cost and shipping, not the return shipping.                Also, the record and cover must be returned in the same condition as when it was received. If any type of damage, regardless of how small, occurs before the record is returned, there will be no refund of any kind. Please keep the packaging until you have examined and listened to the record.               This is the only return policy. There will be no partial refunds while still keeping the record.                         I will be listing many records over the next several weeks, mainly classic and modern rock. If you like what I'm listing add me to your favorite sellers and I can hold items until you are done bidding, thereby saving me the time and , more importantly, saving you the shipping costs.                 Please let me know if you would like items held while you continue bidding.     
                   Please email with any questions.
