IF BIDDING FROM OUTSIDE THE UK THEN PLEASE NOTE THAT I USE EBAY'S GSP FOR POSTING. THESE COSTS CAN BE HIGH. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THESE PRICES THEN PLEASE DO NOT BID. However I am willing to listen to requests to post outside of Ebay through signed-for and tracked. I would recommend using Ebay though as they cover taxes, customs lost items etc. Europe postings will cost £15 for a single item if I send them.
Unfortunately I need to cash in on some of my record collection to help fund my retirement so I would like to pass on these records to other people to share the enjoyment that I have had with the collection over the last 50 years.
Now for my most favourite heavy metal group...........W.A.S.P.
For auction here is a copy of W.A.S.P.'s very collectible 7th LP 'Still Not Black Enough' released in the UK on the Raw Power label Raw LP 103 in 1995. It is a very limited edition run of 3000, this is number 1766. It's not perfect as there is some serious edge rubbing for about 4cm on the top back of the gatefold sleeve.
Tracks on this are:-
Side 1:-
Still Not Black Enough Somebody To love Black Forever Scared To Death Goodbye America
Side 2;- Keep Holding On Rock And Roll To Death Breathe I Can't No Way Out Of Here
Runout matrices are:- 1- WASP-A-REV  RAW LP 103A MASTERDISK 2- RAW LP 103 B1  WASP -B-REV MASTERDISK DAMONT
The gatefold sleeve is in a VG condition with some light creasing. edge wear and, as stated, the more serious edge wear at the top. However, apart from the 'Strictly Limited Edition No 1766 Of 3000' sticker there are no other stickers, and no writing.
The inner sleeve is a plain white one and is in a very nice condition.
I haven't played the record lately so can only comment on visual matters. The vinyl looks in a near excellent condition with barely a scratch visible. The label is free of stickers and writing and is generally in an excellent condition. There are visible marks on it but I suspect that they were there when the label was pressed onto the vinyl. You will struggle to find a spindle mark and the holes are excellent.
For playback I normally use an Ortofon cartridge on a Technics SL1210MK2 through a Denon DRA 375RD amplifier to Wharfdale 3200 speakers but unfortunately i haven't had time to test this one. I am however happy to play it and comment if asked.
I have started this off at £4.99 which is a fair start in my opinion.

Please bid with confidence as I have a 100% positive feedback rating.
I am willing to post multiple items abroad which will be tracked and signed-for. Payments for this method go direct through Paypal as Ebay's GSP does not cater for multiple item sales unfortunately.
I try to adhere as closely as possible to the Record Collector Magazine grading system which is shown below as a guide. I do add + and - to gradings for intermediate conditions. Any record described as 'Mint' will mean 'Unplayed'.

RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
