Welcome to my vinyl record auction for:

Morbid angel covenant 1993 1st press limited edition LP.

Catalogue number: Mosh 81

Label: Earache

Year: 1993

Matrix numbers:  A1/B1

Pressing: UK, 1st

Additional info: This original earache pressing is so sought after as it was limited to 1000 copies only – which probably explains why it is so super scarce and sought after. Not to be confused with later more common repress versions (Brazilian 1994 version in particular)

Condition (1-5) Vinyl / Cover / Inner = 4.25/4.75/4.75 *See super detailed photos at bottom of page to judge cover condition for yourself*

Notes: Vinyl is in great shape – just a few super light paper scuffs when viewed in strong light – expect fantastic audio. Appears pretty much unmarked in normal light and retains the lovely dark gloss of lightly played vinyl - a great example, harshly graded due to value and was on the borderline of being rated higher. The cover is also in great condition with minimal signs of general wear only – mostly just a couple of the usual very small light creases around the edges which are not noticeable and you have to look closely to see them – a lovely crisp example. Complete with original inner, again a lovely crisp example with minimal wear. Labels are spotless

Great copy of this brilliantly brutal album from the legendary band. First press copies of this original version are getting so scarce and sought after. Could be a while before you see another in this condition

Please note the following before bidding:

Grading:

 I will be grading critically to avoid disappointment. (scale at bottom of page) In my experience there is no such thing as a used record that has no marking at all, if you choose to look closely enough!  Hence nothing will be described as mint.

Other stuff:

* Record has been assessed visually. I’ve been in contact with e-bayers who have already bought. They are very pleased with condition compared to what they expected from the grading and report excellent sound quality even from records listed as having heavier damage.

*Buy with confidence. I’m happy to offer a no argument refund should unexpected problems arise on playing or I’ve missed something in the description / grading (refund less postage on return of item within 7 days).

* My aim is 100% customer satisfaction and I will do whatever I can to resolve any issues to your satisfaction (see my positive feedback and high ratings)

*Records have had a quick wipe only - will benefit from a good clean before playing.
