PROCOL HARUM HOME STEREO UK LP WITH ORIGINAL INSERT AND INNER SLRZ 1014

$

40

Vinyl: side 1: Matrix ends with 1, mother is 1, stamper is GR. Visually has ultra light inner sleeve marks only visible under halogen light, many sellers would call it Mint, but I’ll grade it as visually Mint-. The second cut has some faint surface static in the quiet part of the beginning but it’s not distracting. Some faint surface may be heard in the gaps both sides and occasionally in the quietest passages, of which there are few.  (this isn’t a CD).

            side 2: Matrix ends with 1, mother is 1, stamper is H. Visually the same as side 1. The subdued first cut has a trace of surface.

Cover:  Vibrant color with a solid spine and seams with minor ink wear on the top and bottom. Front has disc impression with some ring wear especially on bottom, lower corners slightly bumped and have some ink rubs. The back is in the same condition as the front. Opening has minimal feathering. No thumbnails.

Labels:  side 1: a very light spindle mark

                 side 2:  a couple of very light spindle marks

Inner:   comes with original inner with no splits.

Insert:  comes with rare insert in M- condition: no dirt, rips or writing

Description:  One of my favorite Procol Harum LPs, especially on Regal Zonophone as opposed to the U.S. version.

_______________________________

  I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.

   The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority.

   Over the decades, I've seen grading fads come and go, such as: “visual” grading by people who don't own a turntable; the current use of nonsense grades like NM+ and NM- as well as the dubious belief that there’s no such thing as a mint record.

   I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG+++.

   Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected; then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.

   As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.

   If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.
