Item Description:

IMPORTANT: In light of recent events, I need to point out a couple of things. First off, even though I'm just a regular guy selling my collection and not a giant mega-store, I still believe in giving excellent customer service. I'm easygoing, and I'm always willing to work with a buyer, if there is ever a problem with something purchased from me. All I ask from the buyer is that he/she deal with me in a RATIONAL manner, and I promise to resolve the problem. Secondly, since some people are either too stupid or too lazy to ask questions, and in the spirit of transparency, I should point out that I am a smoker. This is an issue for some people. If you are one of those people, you might want to reconsider before bidding on my auctions.

My grading scale: NM, NM-, EX+, EX, EX-, VG+, VG, VG-, Fair, Poor. So adjust your scale accordingly.

Dark Funeral-The Secrets Of The Black Arts 2x LP on Century Media Records (CMD9983671).

This is the 2013 Century Media Records reissue pressing. This double album compiles the officially released version of the album, which was produced by Peter Tagtgren, along with the infamous Unisound version of the album, which was produced by Dan Swano. To add icing onto the cake, this version is the very rare blue vinyl pressing. Only 100 of these were made, and you could only get this from the German leg of the CM distro. Unfortunately, the jacket managed to get split spines. Both spines were split UNDER the shrink wrap (I bought this new and sealed directly from the German distro). I only opened the poster once. It already had "fingernail" creases, I would assume from being handled at the factory. (The poster that came with my clear vinyl copy is the same way). Both vinyls have only been played twice. Be one of the few people in the US to have this super rare blue vinyl pressing. Still cool, even with the flaws on the jacket.

Vinyl #1: is NM- with some light ticks. Only played twice. Has mild warpage, typical of vinyl.

Vinyl #2: is NM- with some light ticks. Only played twice. Has mild warpage, typical of vinyl.

Jacket is EX+ with splits on both top spines, some smaller "peel" spots on the front spine (see pictures), lightly bumped corners, and a couple of very small creases in the upper left corner..

Poster is NM- with the aforementioned "fingernail" creases from handling at the factory (I only very carefully opened it once to look at it when I first got it), and a few small creases along the edge (the corner of the poster was caught inside the fold when I first opened the album to remove everything). The creases are small. Never hung.
