Description
Sick of buying records described as NEAR MINT only to get them in your sweaty hands and find it is far from that? Me too. Visual grading is a complete waste of time let's face it. It just means that the person selling the record can't be bothered playing it to determine it's REAL condition. I am different. Every record I offer for sale has been cleaned and then played on my Rega Planar 3 turntable from beginning to end. The nature of the medium is such that a certain amount of noise especially in very quiet passages or between tracks is unavoidable. If you are looking for records to be as quiet as cd's perhaps you should stick to cd's. My records are more expensive than other peoples but at least when you buy one from me it is the first and last time you will buy that record. No longer will you end up buying multiple copies trying to find "the one". I am a collector too and recently I found I had six copies of "Brothers in Arms"!!! that gets expensive!! Other sites list the tracks and a whole lot of blurb usually cut and pasted from Wikipedia. I don't. I figure if you are looking at my record you know what you are looking at. I spend my time cleaning, listening and giving an ACCURATE appraisal of a records condition. If a record is below the standard I would keep in my own collection it doesn't get sold on ebay, no exceptions.
Australian Parlophone pressing Cat. No. PCSO - 7027 . This is in excellent condition. The cover has the slightest of ring wear, virtually unnoticeable. Vinyl shows sweating marks from inner sleave which could be cleaned off, but I have resisted the urge. My experience is that while it looks unsightly it does not affect playback in anyway. Generally it is caused by a record having been stored undisturbed for a very long time (which can't be a bad thing) The record plays like new.
International buyers please request shipping total before bidding. USA customers be aware that Australia Post now charge a $9.00 security check surcharge to all parcels over 400g to all areas of the USA including Alaska and Hawaii.
