Heaven 17 – Illumination / Pray Vinyl 12" VERY RARE Limited to 300 - MINT


Thanks for looking.   I'm not a dealer or a shop, I'm just an ordinary bloke selling many of my own CD's, all of which I've owned from new. They tend to be mint or near mint because I play them once. Grading CD's isn't easy but I check them carefully for lacquer marks and if I find them difficult to detect or very subtle I list as Near Mint. If harmless marks are less subtle and I can see them without a forensic examination I list as Excellent. I don't sell CD's with actual scratches because they causes problems on playback.
Very limited edition vinyl initially available on the Tour Of Synthetic Delights in November 2014 and via the www.heaven17.com website.

Limited to 300 copies

Notes on Postage & Packing
It's regrettable that packaging a 12" and posting in the UK costs so much - it's completely disproportionate when you compare the weight and shape compared to other items. However - it's all we've got and the cost can be mitigated somewhat perhaps by buying 2 at the same time because it doesn't increase the P&P.
The high quality stiff mailer I use costs me £1 (cheap/rubbish ones don't work) and small parcel postage is £2.85 so it's a minimum of £3.85 for P&P. Sellers also have to pay fees on P&P, a questionable eBay practice, but unavoidable.


Discogs definitions for grading. 
Please note that eBay have an extra grading above VG+ called "EX" and I use that if the item is slightly better than how Discogs describe VG+.
NM A nearly perfect record. A Near Mint (NM) record has more than likely never been played. The vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The sleeve of a 45 of EP should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. The LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam-splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Many dealers won’t give a grade higher than NM, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect.
VG+ A Very Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Any defects are of a cosmetic nature and do not affect the actual playback. In theory, a VG+ record should sound the same as a Near Mint (NM) one. Vinyl surfaces may show some signs of wear, such as slight scuffs or very light scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are okay. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a small seam-split. An LP cover may have sparse signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, it plays perfectly, and if not for some minor aesthetic wear, it would be Near Mint.
VG The defects found in a Very Good Plus (VG+) record will be more pronounced in a Very Good (VG) item. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, such as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, a VG item will not have all of these problems at the same time.
G A record in Good (G) or Good Plus (G+) condition can be played through without skipping, but it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam-splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and “ticks” will almost certainly accompany the playback.
