This is Death's "Leprosy", released in the UK in 1989 on Under One Flag Records, catalogue number Flag 24.

RECORD:

All grades are 100 % guaranteed – no one has EVER asked to return a record to me.

Buying more than 200 records on the internet, I have agreed with the grading only around 10 times! I think this is because most sellers use inadequate lightning. As a seller once said: Everything looks near mint in the dark. There are only two sources of light I have ever tried that are any good for grading records:

1)      Direct, bright sunlight from an unclouded sky. It's the most powerful light source in this world. Why not use it? "Discreet sunlight" is absolutely no good. I've looked at records outside on a cloudy day that looked nothing short of immaculate, and then revealed loads of scratches under just a poor light bulb.

2)      Halogen spot lights G10, at least 50 watt. These should only be used in the evening to avoid diffusing from other light sources. See picture.

These two light sources will reveal EVERY scuff and scratch no matter how small or insignificant they may be. Regular room lightning or neon lights (which seem to be the standard at record fairs) reveal practically nothing. I've bought records that looked Mint- in neon lights that only looked VG under halogen light!

The record has several marks, which seem to be from the stampers. When it comes to wear, however, it has only light scuffs on each side. Excellent- to Excellent on Record Collector's grading scale (Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, Bad). I never use more than one plus. 

SOUND CLIP:

I have uploaded a recording from the actual record for sale. The clip was recorded with a Thorens TD-126 MkIII Centennial record player fitted with an Ortofon MC20 Super MkII needle. If you have less sensitive equipment, you will hear less noise.

COVER AND INNER SLEEVE:

Light edge wear and light spinal wear, most noticeably on the bottom spine, which is still very nice, though. Overall Excellent-.

The thick cardboard inner sleeve has no splits and is very, very nice. Overall Excellent.

POSTAGE COSTS:

NO FEES and NO charges for materials! ONLY actual charges. All records will be sent in sturdy mailers designed for the purpose, and the records will be removed from the cover to avoid any creasing/tearing. The following charges are what the Danish postal system actually charges. They have gone crazy in recent years.
