Welcome to my vinyl record auction for:

Trouble psalm 9 / the skull 2 X LP discs

Catalogue number: Zorro 19 DM

Label: Metal blade records

Year: 1991

Matrix numbers:  A1 / B1 / C1 / D1

Pressing: Direct metal master pressing. UK

Additional information:

This is a rare release from 1991 that features 2 albums from band – their 1984 psalm 9 album and their 1985 skull album. Each release on its own disc and both housed together in a nice gatefold cover with band photo and full lyrics for both LPs printed on the inner gatefold. Any vinyl by the Sabbath like doom mongers is rare and sought after but this is a particularly scarce release

Condition (1-5) Vinyl / Cover = 4.50/4.00 *See super detailed photos at bottom of page to judge cover condition for yourself*

Notes: Vinyl is in superb shape. Even when viewed tilted in strong light one disk shows minimal ultra light marking and the other just two light marks / scuffs which are totally superficial so expect great audio. Both look unmarked in normal light and retain the lovely gloss of lightly played vinyl - very nice examples harshly graded and on the borderline of being rated higher (graded to the lower rated disc). The cover is in nice crisp condition  with just a bit of light general wear – mostly just a small bit of surface rubbing in a couple of places (outside only). Labels are lovely clean examples.

Very nice copy. 2 super rare albums in one package. Superb vinyl. Can’t be many copies about to match these vinyls for 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.
