Description
Astral Sounds - Pulses
(Rouge Music Library RMS/LP 119 LP 1979)
This is an original UK LP pressing in very nice overall condition! The sleeve is manufactured in the UK. The vinyl is manufactured in Holland specifically for the UK market. This is how all UK 1st pressings of this LP came. It has a heavyweight matte sleeve & comes with its original generic company plain paper inner sleeve. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has red "Rouge" labels. It has 1st press A-4 0 C2/ B-3 T C1 matrix stampers.
An excellent late 1970's UK Library Synth/Electronic/ Synth-Pop/ Synth-Funk/ Breaks LP. All the tracks are instrumental. Some of the stand out tracks are: "Bullet", "Heavy Mover", ""Traction" and "Alpha". I think these tracks are available to hear on Youtube. Please check any one of these tracks out to give you a great idea of what this LP sounds like. However, in my opinion, "Traction" is the best track. It is an excellent Synth-Funk-Breaks track. So I would advise checking this track out first.. As stated, this is an excellent LP overall. There are lots of good tracks. I have some other rare & collectible UK Library Jazz-Funk/ Synth LP's for sale. Please check my other listings.
Sleeve: There is some more moderate rubbing wear to the bottom corner tip - at the sleeve opening. There is a very small crease in that corner tip area too. There is mild or very mild rubbing wear to the other three corner tips. There is an extremely tiny 0.3 cm hairline tear at the sleeve opening edges. This is near the bottom. It hardly really notices. There is some light, very mild or very minor hairline rubbing wear on the front & rear spine edges on some areas. This is not that noticeable overall. Otherwise, the spine is in very nice condition. The spine text is clearly legible. There is some light, very mild or very minor ringwear on some areas. Overall, Very Good++ condition.
Vinyl: There is an extremely light 9 cm hairline surface paper sleeve rub mark on Side 1. As stated, this is extremely feint & hardly notices under a strong light. There are a few light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on some areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. Overall, NEAR EXCELLENT condition. The labels are in Excellent+ condition and show minimal spindle wear only. The company paper inner sleeve is in Very Good++ condition. It shows light, very mild or very minor ringwear & fading. There is a very small 1 cm tear at the top opening of one side of the inner sleeve only. It has no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Very Good+ to Near Excellent overall, & Excellent in some places. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in some quieter places. There are 2 or 3 light or very mild clicks on one track on Side 2. Overall, a very decent audio copy!
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
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 barely 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 - Very minimal wear only.
EXCELLENT Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can hardly be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play, in most cases, will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.
NEAR EXCELLENT 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 or better. There may be some light, mild or very mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
Very Good 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, mild or very 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 too 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.
(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.
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 the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl box/ 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.
Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
