This is a Genuine Vinyl Record

Artist & Title : Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

Catalogue Number : EMI EMDP 1006

Overall Grade : EX-

Originally I believe this came with a card insert, but this is just the picture disc LP in original clear sleeve. NB: If you think the line above the H of seventh is a mark - it isn't - it's the design, a meteor coming down behind the word. 

After dealing in records for nearly thirty years, I've come out of retirement to sell my personal collection. Back in the 1990s I was a proper record dealer, running my own second hand vinyl shop in London for over twenty years. As a collector, this is the perfect job, allowing me not only to acquire the most amazing rarities, but improve the quality of records I already had in my collection, swapping them when a better example came into stock.

As I'm sure you know, these days rare records are very hard to find, and the dominance of ebay on the scene makes dealing in records a very difficult career choice. I gave up my business a couple of years ago, and with a heavy heart, it's time to now depart with my personal vinyl treasure haul too. 

This Item is open to offers, so please bid early to prevent it disappearing before the end.

Grading:

As you can see from our feedback, we take grading of records very seriously. Generally every buyer we have sold to has been happy with the condition of the record they bought. If we grade anything EX, then it really is immaculate. Other ebay sellers buy our records and relist them with higher grades! Our VG+ is the same as many other seller's EX.

How It Works: 

Eg:  EX/EX = First EX refers to the record, the second the sleeve. 

RECORD CONDITION

MINT As new condition, unplayed, often Sealed. We don't like using this grade on records unless we are certain they have never been played, ie, were purchased as brand new items, or the item is one of a multiple sold to us as unplayed. We never grade played records as MINT. We don't use the term EX+ or NM+

EX  Excellent condition, no noticeable marks and like new. Records graded as EX are immaculate, fantastic examples of the record in question. No marks, scratches, warps, damage of any kind. Often records which we grade as EX look as they have never been played - but we don't know for sure. 

EX- Close to Excellent condition, usually we use EX- if there are light brush marks visible under our spotlight. All EX- records are Excellent, no scratches, warps or damage of any kind.

VG+ This is a grade many buyers of perfect records avoid, but to us VG+ is the grade we give to a used but still very nice LP. This is the grade we get most correspondence from buyers about, most saying how to them this is an EX record, not VG+. There may be a very light, but more significant mark on a VG+ record (though this would normally be mentioned along with the grade), generally this is a used record in very good condition, with light brush marks.

VG Very Good condition, normal wear, maybe a few very light marks, but still plays great. Perhaps not as shiny and new looking as a VG+ record. This is our average grade. 

SLEEVE CONDITION 

EX Excellent condition, no noticable folds or creases, no sticker marks, As New. Generally you will be incredibly impressed with a sleeve we grade as EX. No laminate damage, nice spine, no writing. 

EX- Close to Excellent condition, possibly a small fault like laminate lift, a word written on sleeve, slight edge fault or damage. 

VG+ Very good condition, this is the kind of sleeve most other sellers would grade as EX. In great shape, but light and normal wear. 

VG Very good, used condition. Light and normal wear, possibly a small fault, like laminate lift, edge/spine damage, or writing. 

After twenty five years of grading records either for our London shop, or our online site or ebay, you get a feeling for the grade of a record, hopefully the description above helps to describe the grade of this record, but if you have any further questions on any particular aspect of the condition of this record, we're happy to answer messages.
