Description
Welcome to this Runout Grooves listing. We might be new sellers to Ebay, but we have over 20 years experience of selling music (both online and in record shops) so please don't be concerned with the low feedback rating. We are confident that our feedback score will rise very fast!
Runout Grooves is run by collectors for collectors, so we know exactly what you want to see in a listing. We aim to give you as much information as you could possibly hope for to enable you to decide if the items that we have for sale are exactly the ones that you are looking for. We will have lots of high-resolution photos (showing you the best bits as well as any defects) plus detailed descriptions of condition, matrix numbers, pressing information - and, most importantly of all, a professional and conservative grading of sleeve and disc. You can bid with confidence!
This week we will be listing a fantastic selection of punk, indie and classic rock LPs. If you like the look of this record then check out our other items for sale and add us to your favourite sellers.
This is the first DJM A2/B4 pressing of Madman Across The Water by Elton John. The textured gatefold cover looks great but it does have a crease on the front bottom right as well as scuffed corners. (see pics). The insert 12 page book is perfect condition. The spine is a bit scuffed too. The vinyl is translucent and appears as two different colours under different light conditions. It's BLUE under spot lights and the more common RED in sunny natural light. I can't say I have ever noticed this before. (Everyone will be checking their own copies now, if you already own one!!!) The record is in excellent condition with just a few play marks. A great rare copy of this Elton John LP.

We use the Record Collector grading system which grades records from Mint to Poor. We always aim to grade conservatively and fairly. However, we recognise that grading can be subjective and one man's EX can be another man's Good, so please contact us if you would like to clarify any issues with condition. Please note that (unlike other sellers) we will only grade records as Mint or Near Mint if we can be certain that they have never been played. If they have been used, then our highest grading will be EX.
