BEASTIE BOYS Check your head VINYL LP (South Korea) EMI EKPL-0240/C1-98938 
(1992 – vinyl release. Unlike elsewhere, (Japan, etc.) mainstream Korean labels continued to  release vinyl right up until 1994. This copy (despite the scan making it look like it has cover wear)  is very clean. Took me a long time to find a nice copy. I don’t see it any any of the Seoul shops  ever, but bought this from someone’s collection.)

Record Grade: One side is EX+ to M-, and one side is around EX- (see below)
(The vinyl over-all is very clean, but one side would be EX+ to M- but has some scuffing to one section of the run-in grooves and part of the first track where I assume the top/tip of the disc has protruded from the sleeve allowing the scuffs to take place. It's just one section, so I've graded that  side EX-. The rest of that side is very clean. Due to my sound system still being in storage I can't play check it. I've flagged it, but if there's any play issues after winner receiving item, please let me know.
Gatefold Cover Grade: around EX
(Nice clean cover - no bends, no splits, no stickers. What looks like a touch of shelf wear to the top may also be part of the printing. But can't be 100% sure. Possibly adjust the grade marginally, but over-all the cover is nice, especially for this release. See pics for tiny bit of wear to corners.  Insert is very clean. )



FREE SHIPPING TO AUSTRALIA (registered post on $20+ items)
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS NOTE: Import taxes are the responsibility of the buyer. Please be aware of these costs before bidding.  (International Postage terms: see below) Posted with vinyl outside of sleeve to prevent sleeve splits in transit. Packed in solid cardboard. Japanese pressings are usually heavier packages.

IMPORTANT: All records graded carefully under strong light. 

I have a long standing good reputation for grading and I use

the UK grading system which includes EX grades. I am used to

strict Japanese grading standards. If a disc is graded EX you

will not receive something that should be VG+. On the off chance

that happens, please contact me and I will sort it out.

International Postage: 

These discs are generally aimed at Australian buyers, 

but I have a lot of experience posting internationally.

Some items are set as AU/N.E. Asia only; some are Asia + UK/US/Europe.

International postage will be an $ AU 30 flat rate (air w/tracking)

(I'll cover the difference, including signature etc., and if actual postage 

does happen to come in lower I'll refund the difference back.)

If you would like to combine international postage on multiple items 

please wait for an invoice.

NOTE: I am going to be selling my own collection of clean

Japanese pressings with obi's and other discs this year.

Inc. a lot of  punk LPs + Blue Note jazz + Aussie bands 

I have 8 DJ cases, but I have issues with storage because my

wife and I have been relocating between Australia and Korea.  

Vinyl is visually graded only.  My sound system is still in storage in

another city.

Grading note: Very clean near mint records may sometimes have tiny

specks of dust or very small ultra thin fabric strands (which can sometimes

be mistaken for marks) on the vinyl, which come from the inside of 

inner sleeves. Both of these will likely be removed by the stylus on first play.

If I can, I send items out in anti-static inner sleeves to try to minimize

this.
