Every Time I Die - Low Teens - (2016) 1st pressing MISPRESS Violet vinyl SEALED

$

39

• *From my personal collection, not a random reseller.

***WARNING! PLEASE NOTE:*** This pressing is a mispressing variant from the 1st pressing runs of Low Teens. The Violet vinyl inside is supposedly entirely missing the tracks "I Didn't Want To Join Your Stupid Cult Anyway" and "It Remembers", #6 and #7 from the A side. This is still a sealed record and part of the band's history which makes it collectible even though it is not a complete pressing of the full album. Since this is sold a sealed record there is no way to 100% verify that it's the correct color variant inside, though in my personal experience I've never seen it be anything other than what the hype/color sticker on the shrink wrap says.

• It is rare that I sell a record sealed without ever opening it to at least playtest it once and check for audio quality and any pressing defects or abnormalities. I have some sealed records that have been safely stored on my shelf for around a decade, I am willing to part with a few of them without ever opening or playing them. I'll leave the excitement of opening it for someone else to get enjoyment out of the process like a sealed time capsule from the storage of my personal collection. Since this is sold a sealed record there is no way to 100% verify that it's the correct color variant inside, though in my personal experience I've never seen it be anything other than what the hype/color sticker on the shrink wrap says.

The 1st pressing from 2016 of Low Teens by Every Time I Die on Violet vinyl with Mispressing, missing tracks 5 & 6 on side A.
Vinyl (M/NM): Presumed to be Mint/NM but the record is sold as is without the possibilty of knowing if there are any pressing defects or damage/marks/scuffs from manufacturing and distribution. This sealed record was stored vertically in an outer sleeve on a shelf in a cool dark closet and was not subject to any extreme temperature changes (the weather here is very temperate year round).
Jacket (NM/EX): Shrink wrap is in good condition overall. The back cover has a loose section where the shrink wrap meets with 2 flaps, it is not the typical fully wraped around all over shrink wrap that you see on most records, sometimes you see this style of wrap but I find it to be much less common. At the bottom right corner along the edge there is a small strip torn in the shrink wrap, the edge has a small bit of whitening from the exposed corner/edge near the tip. The corners and edges are all relatively sharp with no major damage visible. I don't like using NM for grading anything because I believe that truly NM doesn't exist, except for unicorns, when applying strict Goldmine grading standards. With lacking quality control of pressing plants I don't see truly NM new anything anymore, this particular one is about as good as I've seen and for being over a decade old I'd say it's about as close to a NM jacket grade as possible.
Please note that while graded conservatively, modern vinyl grading remains inherently subjective; audio playback can vary depending on individual turntable setup quality, stylus, cartridge alignment, and tracking force.
Please also note that due to the static nature of vinyl records, minor dust, fibers, or paper particles may be present upon arrival despite careful handling. Records will be carefully handled and visually inspected prior to shipment; however, vinyl naturally attracts dust/static and it is not possible to guarantee a completely particle-free surface during storage and transit. A light carbon fiber brush cleaning on each side is recommended before first play, and additional wet-cleaning methods may be used depending on equipment and preference. A quality record clamp is always recommended (in the majority of setups that accomodate one) for optimal playback of all vinyl records, but especially important with records that are not 100% flat and have any level of edge or dish warp.
Shipped in a cardboard LP mailer. Jacket will be protected using cardboard stiffeners, outer sleeves, and bubble wrap as necessary to minimize movement during transit. The whole LP mailer will be put inside of a larger box where it will be next to the poster which will be put between cardboard stiffeners so that the poster doesn't have to be folded. It will then be mailed as 1 package together with material filling out the empty box space. This way you will get double boxed protection for the record as well as enough space in the main box to not have to fold the poster.
Shipped in a cardboard LP mailer with vinyl record placed outside of the jacket to prevent seam splits. Jacket and contents will be protected using cardboard stiffeners, outer sleeves, and bubble wrap as necessary to minimize movement during transit. Shipment service by default is USPS Ground Advantage, I used to use Media Mail by default but after having multiple packages severely damaged upon delivery, I honestly don't think it's a very reliable method for safely delivering valuable or rare vinyl records anymore. Ground Advantage is higher priority handling than Media Mail, typically gives better tracking updates overall and also includes a default insurance coverage. Most importantly, I haven't had any 'Ground Advantage' packages be delivered heavily compromised yet, so I have a lot more faith in it to deliver your item in a timely manner and undamaged. 
*I made Media Mail available as an option for this listing but I still strongly recommend selecting Ground Advantage. Not only is Media Mail generally slower, it can be handled very poorly by comparison. Sometimes Media Mail sits in sorting facilities for extended periods with varying temperatures or with heavy loads placed on top of your package, which can potentially cause your record to become warped or damaged in transit. Ground Advantage is superior in every sense of the handling and coverage, please take note.
