Metallica - Creeping Death/ Am I Evil?/ Blitzkrieg

(Music For Nations CV12 KUT 112 UK 12" 1984)

 

This is an original 1986 UK Limited Edition 12" Single pressing. The record is pressed on transparent Blue Vinyl. This has a marbled/ splatter effect. The 12" Single has a Picture Sleeve which is printed on shiny matt card. There is a barcode on the rear sleeve. It has its original generic company plain paper inner sleeve. The record has red & yellow "Music For Nations" labels.  It has 1st press A1/ B1 matrix stampers. "TimTom" is machine etched in the dead wax on the A-side. A genuine UK original Blue Vinyl pressing from 1986. These are not that common.


Sleeve: There is a very small circular blue sticker on the front sleeve. This was done by the UK record shop from which it was originally brought. It indicated, I believe, that the release was a Limited Edition. It could be carefully removed by someone with the right expertise. However, I would leave it as it is.

There is a 1.5 cm area of more moderate rubbing wear on the bottom edge - at the sleeve opening area. Otherwise, there is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear on the bottom edge on some areas. There is light, very mild or very minor rubbing wear on the top edge on some areas. There is some light, very mild or very minor hairline rubbing wear on the spine on a few areas. The spine text is completely legible. Overall, Very Good++ condition.

Vinyl: There is a very light 1.5 cm hairline surface mark at the very end of the B-side. This is just before the dead wax. There is a 2nd 1 cm light surface rub mark right next to it too. There is also an extremely light 3.5 cm hairline surface mark on the B-side too. This is not that noticeable under a strong light. Otherwise, there are a few light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can barely be seen under a strong light. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on a few areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. Very Good++ condition. The labels are in Excellent+ condition and show minimal spindle wear. The company paper inner sleeve is in Very Good++ condition. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear & fading.

I have play tested this 12" Single in its entirety & it plays Excellent to Excellent+ overall, & Near Perfect to Perfect in many places. A great audio copy!

    >>  Grading Information All grading is very strict & adheres to 'Record Collector' specifications. However, I have fine tuned them & they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light & play tested on excellent quality audio equipment.

MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.

NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well  cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.

EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.

NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing

VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.

There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!

The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.

Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition. 
>>  Postage Rates

AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.

Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too) 
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LP's).

Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are now the law for outside parcels going into the EU.

All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.

I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).

I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...

If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
