KISS Love Gun PYE 1977 Translucent Vinyl UK 1st Pressing Rare No-Band Label VG+

Vinyl Looks VG+ Plays EX. 

Cover has a few 'scars' from a tape repair a previous owner did, where the glue had dried out on the front cover seams. 

This has been properly re-glued now. 

Original Die-Cut colour inner in great condition for age, again with some old tape repairs visible.  

Condition: 

Please read and remember this is a 41 year old vintage item ???? pics and grading are honest so please look. 

Graded VERY CRITICALLY under VERY bright spotlight + test play. Pics show item under bright spotlights. 

Vinyl Surfaces Visual Inspection/Bright Light: EX-

Moderate hairlines, a few more noticable light scratches and a 'ring' scratch around part of 2 tracks 

But doesn't affect play.  

Great Sheen after deep cleaning 

Audio Test EX

Audio Technica Deck and ESI 'Flat' studio monitors

Light background noise in gaps between tracks and a few clicks here and there but nothing major. 

Excellent pressing and great sound quality. 

Vinyl Labels - EX

Rare Label without the 'Love Gun' band picture, so I think this is an earlier 1977 pressing

No significant marks 

Colours and printed text all perfect 

Tiny amount of wear on spindle holes 

Outer Sleeve VG-

Still in decent condition for 41 years old, but a previous owner used sellotape to do a repair on the seams where the glue had probably dried out, rather than re-gluing. 

This has pulled part of the colour off the front cover leaving some battle scars! 

I've carefully re-glued the seams and cleaned the cover. 

Back cover in nice condition with some visible old tape repairs but little-to-no marking 

Spine EX, all writing un-damaged. 

Edges all excellent with little-to-no wear 

No corner cut-out

Inner Sleeve EX- 

Original die-cut inner sleeve with the band name written in 'blood' on a green background

Excellent condition. Downgraded as there is visible old  tape repair residue on the edges. 

Most likely another repair done with sellotape rather than glue. I've re-glued this properly now. 

Vinyl Care/Preparation

I hand-clean every vinyl listed using L'Arc Du Son cleaning solution. 

This removes old grease, dust etc. to improve the playback quality. This does sometimes leave residue marks, but these don't affect play. 

Once cleaned, I 'buff' the Vinyl using a very soft cleaning-cloth, then place it into an anti-static black sleeve. 

This sleeve is supplied with the Vinyl you buy. 

I also carefully clean and dry the Vinyl outer sleeves to remove old finger marks, dirt and dust. Once done the sleeves are placed into a PVC sleeve to keep them nice and clean, they are shipped with the plastic sleeve. 

Vinyls are then listened to end-to-end before grading, in order to make sure they don't skip etc. BEWARE VISUAL-ONLY GRADINGS...some Vinyls that look Near Mint to the eye have skips, others that look marked play near-perfectly. I've learned that you can't grade a Vinyl without listening to it :) 

All of the above is done to help buyers be sure of what they are getting before they spend hard-earned money

Shipping 

Usually within 2 Days, sometimes a bit longer if I'm very busy (Part time sole trader) Please ignore the stated 10 days, this is to avoid eBay late shipment penalties which lower my performance level and impact the prices and service I can provide to buyers. 

Well packaged in appropriate protective packaging

Vinyl removed from inner and securely packed during shipping to prevent splits 

Combined shipping always - please ask 

l don't make money on shipping but eBay and PayPal do charge full fees on shipping costs so I have to factor this in ????
