I sell some rarities from my collection. I collect records since over 50 years and try to do my best to grade correct.

I take back records if you are not satisfied, but shipping costs should be payed by you.

Monster rare in this condition, plays with an full dynamic sound which is just unimaginable for that old records from that time.

Was not payed last time, so once more the chance to get this beautiful record for the collection

 

DAWN DNLS 3046

UK 1973

Original First Press

RECORD: M-

Looks NEAR MINT. Plays Near Mint, between song 2 and 3 in dead groove 3 or 4 very slight crackles, but I grade conservativ M-, plays with very dynamic sound, surface is clean and shiny.

I try to make pictures from vinyl, that shows how it looks. From electrostatic charge sometimes only dust can be seen.


 COVER: M- to EX

Very little wear and slight shape of record on backside

I would say best cover I have seen for a long time from this record, but  see pictures

comes with OIS


 

Grading :

Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations"). Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects

EX is something between VG+ or M- the record plays mainly M- but looks more Vg+

Very Good Plus (VG+) . A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint-. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

Very Good (VG) Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. 

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)  Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. It is a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.
