Joy Division - 'Closer'
Factory - FACT.25 - UK 1981
Vinyl/Sleeve: EX/EX
Matrix: (a) FACT 25 A1 OLD BLUE?
(b) FACT 25 B1
Vinyl: Excellent
This record has been machine cleaned and play checked. This version is black (not translucent red). Playback is excellent, plays superbly, I didn't really notice anything and would say it plays like NM. The playing surface has no obvious marks or scratches, just superficial scuffs which look like they're within the vinyl
Sleeve: Excellent
The slightly textured - thick matt sleeve is in great condition, solid with a sharp spine, and no edge or ring wear. The white areas of the sleeve are largely clean with very little age discoloration - just little light handling marks and a few foxing marks on the back. There is a tiny ink(?) mark near the opening on the front, and you can just see where a sticker once was although there is no sleeve damage. The smooth, square cut, card inner sleeve, is borderline near mint with no seam splits.
Side One: Atrocity Exhibition / Isolation / Passover / Colony / A Means To An End
Side Two: Heart And Soul / Twenty Four Hours / The Eternal / Decades
Combined postage offered to UK destinations ONLY. I'll send an invoice if you've bought more than one record.
NON-UK shipping - NO COMBINED POSTAGE - International shipping is with eBay's Global Shipping Program (GSP) and combined postage is not available. It may appear expensive, and delivery may take a few extra days, but I'm sorry, it's the only international shipping option I offer.
A few words on Vinyl Grades.........
My vinyl grades are pretty much in line with those commonly used here on eBay and other specialist vinyl sites. The descriptions I provide are of equal significance as they will include any details I would consider useful to know when deciding whether to purchase a vinyl record. I normally examine a record’s playing surface in more than one daylight condition, this is because the lighting at different times of day tend to reveal details that might not be noticeable at other times of day. For example, bright angled morning light shining through a window will reveal a multitude of fine lines and dust that are often superficial, and these can distract from significant surface imperfections which might be more noticeable later in the day. Sleeve grades shouldn't really require an explanation, needless to say, the photos and descriptions should speak for themselves.
Mint (M) : Never played, and the only way you can be fairly confident that it hasn’t been played, is if the record is still sealed (and that’s not foolproof).
Near Mint (NM) : A record that shows hardly any evidence of being played – both in appearance and sound quality.
Excellent (EX) : A record that may have minor surface marks and/or minimal surface noise or tics.
Very Good + (VG+) : The record will be close to excellent but may have some distinct marks or hairlines that may even be feelable - but not to excess. Sound quality may be slightly impaired with light surface noise/crackle or tics.
Very Good (VG) : The record will have several marks or scratches, and/or sound quality that isn’t that great
Good+ (G+) : This will be a record that has many surface marks or scratches and poor sound quality. I wouldn’t normally sell anything that would grade below this (ie ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’). Anything below this grade would probably have skips and I rarely sell records that have skips.
