Description
*I am currently selling a collection of Heavy Metal and rock LPs, predominantly from the late 70’s to the early 90’s but with the odd outlier thrown in. All well looked after and some real rarities. I combine shipping and always remove the vinyl from the sleeve before packing and posting. Where anything other than a generic white inner is present, the vinyl is always placed in a brand new white inner to preserve the original. Brand new ‘clear glass’ plastic sleeves are added to all LPs. I describe items accurately as I know how disappointing it is to receive a much anticipated record where flaws have been glossed over or gone unmentioned. I try to listen to each record before describing it but if I don’t have time I will listen to selected parts to gauge the level of background noise and I will always listen to any passages where there are surface marks to judge the impact these have. I always give positive feedback after payment so the customer is able to give feedback purely judged on the service once they have received the item. If you are unhappy in any way I will refund with no questions asked. Thank you for your interest in this listing and please check out my other records.*

The Number Of The Beast
EMI 1982
EMC3400
The sleeve is in Near Mint condition - a very vibrant and sharp copy.
The inner would be Near Mint but for a very small nick on the opening (see photo). Otherwise it is fantastic with no handling wear really at all just a very light and very small area of bruising near the EMC 3400 writing on the spine but really nothing at all to be concerned with as you can see from the photos.
The vinyl is is also Near Mint and plays beautifully with no interference. Visually it retains a bright sheen and there is no evidence of much play at all - no spindle marks, crisp labels and shiny surface.
Overall a beautifully preserved original 1982 vinyl LP.
