PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
Big British Steel lot on vinyl!
1) British Steel LP - ULTRA RARE original Terre Haute advance white label PROMOTIONAL first pressing from 1980 on Columbia with DEMONOSTRATION text at the top of the labels and promotional text in the top left hand corner on the rear cover in customary gold embossed lettering!!! LP is a beautiful near mint minus. Cover is VG/VG+ with some light ring.
2) Living After Midnight 45 - MEGA RARE original UK white label advance PROMOTIONAL first pressing on CBS from March 21, 1980 with small center hole, original glossy UK CBS sleeve and a RARE live version of Delivering The Goods recorded in Tokyo, Japan on the B-side!!! Vinyl is VG++ with a few barely visible paper scuffs on side A. Labels are spectacular.
3) United 45 - WILDLY RARE US pressing from 1980 on Columbia in the original sleeve with the crushingly heavy Grinder on the reverse!!! Vinyl is a nice VG with a tiny scuff on the B-side that can be felt but only lightly heard for a few seconds. Labels are beautiful.
4) Breaking The Law 45 - RARE UK rigid card stock GATEFOLD pressing from 1980 on CBS that loads on the inside with the stone classic anthem Metal Gods on the flip!!! Vinyl is a beautiful VG++ with a few barely visible paper scuffs. Sleeve is easily VG+, close to VG++, with a few tiny creases.
Buying every item in this collection individually would cost $20.00 in shipping ALONE so don't sleep metal collectors. You won't find another lot this good with promos included, particularly the LP.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~
MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED
VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL
VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE
POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
