If you are looking for a final upgrade copy of this debut album from Kraftwerk this comes pretty close. The vinyl is stunning with a sheen like new. This easily grades NM.
On first inspection the unlaminated gatefold sleeve is pretty close to NM. It has retained its original pure white colour with just some very light discolouration along the the spine and lower edge. These covers are notorious for losing their brilliant whiteness. There are a few very small creases to the spine but these really are minor flaws. I would grade therefore a very strong EX.
The inner sleeve is date stamped to 1971.
Please note this is a not a reissue. The matrix numbers are machine stamped and the catalogue number is printed on the rear of the sleeve. Unofficial issues omit the catalogue number on the back.
Happy bidding!
Please note I use UK Record Collector grading system for all albums with the addition of the accepted Near Mint category:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
NEAR MINT: The record appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner
and is assumed to have been played by them
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality,
despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
I try to be as accurate as possible, however, we are all human so if there are any problems please let me know.
