Morcheeba

"Big Calm"

Stunning example! Morcheeba's classic in stunning NEAR MINT throughout!

Classic original LP. With 'gloss' picture sleeve. Played once. Superb. 

COMPLETE ORIGINAL UK ALBUM, FIRST PRESS AND FIRST ISSUE

Vinyl: Stunning NM (NEAR MINT). Only downgraded from MINT based on the very faintest - and I mean super FAINT - spindle lines on A and B labels. Strict gradings indeed. Stunning.

Superb vinyl lies flat and true on the turntable platter. Gorgeous sheen on the playing surfaces. Clearly only barely played. As good as it gets. No background noise evident. Earliest possible pressing. NEAR MINT. Gradings as per: Record Collector Grading System definitions . All items guaranteed . All photos are of actual item for sale.

***

Sleeve: Spotlessly clean. Has been stored in a PVC out of direct sunlight since new. NM. Only faintest rubbing evident. One light crease on spine. Inner is superb. Overstickered barcode with Warners number - so dates the record exactly to the Warner buy out of Indochina when the record was first released.

 Label: Clean and crisp on both faces. See images. Stunning!

Grading notes:

As a rule of thumb, we endeavour to use the Record Collector vinyl grading system as laid out below. If you have any issues with your purchase, please contact us directly and we will do our best to ensure you are completely happy.

RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM:

MINT: THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS LYRIC SHEET , BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT: THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD: THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD: THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION ETC.

FAIR: THE RECORD IS JUST PLAYABLE, BUT HAS NOT BEEN CARED FOR PROPERLY AND DISPLAYS CONSIDERABLE NOISE, IT MAY EVEN JUMP. THE COVER AND CONTENTS WILL BE TORN, STAINED ETC.

POOR: THE RECORD WILL NOT PLAY PROPERLY DUE TO SCRATCHES, BAD SURFACE NOISE ETC. THE COVER WILL BE DAMAGED.

BAD: THE RECORD IS UNPLAYABLE OR BROKEN IS ONLY FOR A COLLECTION FILLER.
