Description
Rare 1994 Suede Dog Man Star NUDE3LP near mint double vinyl; near mint Gatefold Sleeve (mint inner sleeves but these are plain glossy die cut. Owned from new. Condition is listed as "Used" though listening to a couple of tracks online, I don't recall ever hearing them so it is probably unplayed. The sleeve rating is also very conservative as there are just a couple of tiny marks on the bottom edge - I suspect many would rate as mint but you can judge for yourself. I realise that these descriptions may sound like exaggeration but the first few records I've sold are starting to get feedback so you check for yourself. I'm not a record dealer - I see in hindsight that I went from being an audiophile record listener to a record buyer in the late 80s and most of my collection from then got very little if any plays. These are the first albums I'm selling off before downsizing - when they've gone, they've gone. This is being listed with my other Suede album - their self-titled debut LP. I've taken photos of all sides of the sleeves and vinyl in high resolution - the reflections are of my camera and conservatory roof but hopefully you can see clearly the near mint or mint condition of the media. Mint copies are like hen's teeth but I'm starting bidding at a tempting £45 so you may get lucky and pick up a bargain - I don't know how you would get hold of a better original copy. Using the Goldmine standard I follow the principle that no vinyl is mint if it has ever been played - so I've conservatively rated it as Vinyl Side A: M- Side B: M- Album sleeve is mint on all sides (there are no marks or dents on any of the edges) and so is the innersleeve.
Special packaging and delivery The record will be packaged in a Defendapack MusicMax TWISTS mailer and I will remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve though it will be protected by a plastic record bag. I will also use additional internal stiffeners in the mailing box and the sleeve and record will also be protected by a PVC sleeve. This has worked really well so far according to my buyers. From a pet and smoke-free home.
As a valuable item this will be dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class special delivery before 1pm for the base Royal Mail price of £8.85. I make nothing on shipping and the packaging is done at my own cost. You can also pick up for free from East Grinstead, West Sussex and I will also post worldwide using eBay's Global Shipping Programme. As Royal Mail will only pick up 5 packages a day from my home, I'm going to list up to 5 records at a time with the same auction end date so that you should (Royal Mail being compliant) be in receipt of the record two mornings later (if you are in the UK). That means auctions from Sunday to Thursday (as the Thursday-ending ones should be delivered Saturday morning) and potentially 25 records a week - though I doubt I can maintain that pace! For multiple purchases, I will combine postage where possible (there is a limit with Royal Mail weights but I'll do my best to save you money - for comparison; below a kilo Special Delivery Next Day before 1pm costs £8.85 and this will normally do about 3 albums. Between 1 and 2 Kilos it costs £11.05, which is up to about 6 albums). Please bear in mind that the Global Shipping Programme does not allow combining postage for some unfathomable reason. If you have any questions please let me know and I'll try to answer them.
A little more about me: I'm also listing original pressings from the Cure, the Cranberries, Robbie Williams, the Prodigy, Morrissey, Ocean Colour Scene; Joe Strummer, REM etc etc, so please check my other listings if you are interested in mint or near mint original vinyl from this era. These all comes from my personal record collection of over 1500 vinyl albums put together over 50 years. As I need to downsize I am starting to advertise around a 100 rarities starting with 90's vinyl, which I was still buying (but rarely playing!) while the world had moved to CDs. I have been an audiophile for as long as I could afford it and moved up from a Thorens TD150 record deck, via Linn Sondek and Pink Triangle to my current SME10, which I've been running with an SMEV arm and Koetsu Rosewood cartridge for over 20 years. If that means nothing to you, suffice to say I take extreme care of my vinyl to the extent that I invested in a Loricraft PRCII professional record cleaner nearly 20 years ago and all of my vinyl immediately goes into protective plastic sleeves. Almost all of my rock/pop collection has been bought from new and I will always make this clear on the listing.
