Description

KISS - Pyscho Circus 2014 Press on Mercury Records. Lenticular sleeve - 2014 1st Press Vinyl - New but opened. 


MikesListeningBooth ????  If you'd like to hear MP3 samples of the actual LP listed, please let me know and I can send you a private link. I play all my vinyl in full as part of grading and also record/convert to hi-res MP3. 


• 2014 UK Press on Mercury BOO20007101

• No Barcode 

• Matrix/Runout: BOO20007101 A/B G1 'TUT'

• Arrived in a batch with 1 damaged item, so I removed from sleeve to check/photo/test play - new but not sealed. 


Condition: 

  • Please read ???? pics and grading are honest so please look. 
  • Graded VERY CRITICALLY under VERY bright spotlight + test play. Pics show item under bright spotlights. 
  • Cleaned very carefully by hand using high grade cleaning fluid (L'arc du Son), distilled water and suitable cleaning cloths. 


Vinyl Surfaces - NM

• Audio Test - with budget deck and Audio Technica Studio headphones. NM. As good as it gets without being sealed! Some static clicks which can be avoided by cleaning with a static brush before play

• Visual Inspection/Bright Light:  NM One or 2 VERY light, small hairline marks from taking out of sleeve a couple of times and playing once 

• Visual Inspection - Bright Daylight: Mint. 


Vinyl Labels - NM 

• No marks 

• Colours and printed text all perfect 

• Tiny amount of wear on spindle holes - as is often the case on new records 


Outer Sleeve - Mint 

• Lenticular (move about in light to see the different parts - curtain closed/curtain open with clown face and band member faces

 

Colour Lyric/Picture Inner Sleeve - NM 

• As new 


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. Not needed for this one, its new/opened. 

• 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 :) 

•  Finally, I take lots of pics and rip the Vinyl to 256kbps MP3 (budget deck only at the moment) and make a sample video, uploaded to YouTube to let you hear the quality of the vinyl surfaces and see HD large pictures of the item. 

•  All of the above is done to help buyers be sure of what they are getting before they spend hard-earned money! For this reason, I am not the cheapest on eBay and don't want to be. All offers are considered but please don't expect me to give them away :) 


Shipping & Payment 

• Well packaged in stiff, thick card mailer + Stiffeners for protection. 

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

• I combine shipping cost for multiple purchases - please contact me to let me know before paying and I will give you a quote. 

• Please note: eBay and PayPal combined charge me 15% fees on shipping, so unfortunately I have to pass this on. The shipping amount on the label will be a bit lower than the amount you pay...I don't make money on shipping ????
