Description

Detailed seller ratings:

Item as described: I list everything possible about this item, please read everything thoroughly and view ALL of the photographs. Please do not bid if you expect something different from the listing.

Communication: I will answer any sensible query quickly and politely, but please read the listing thoroughly first. I email the winner to thank them for the bid and to advise them of the likely dispatch date (usually within 24 hours of receiving payment). I email again to confirm dispatch and provide tracking number.

Dispatch time: I dispatch within 24 hours of cleared funds, sometimes even the same day if the payment is received early enough and I am able to get to the post office in time. After that, it's down to the Royal Mail and whichever international mail service is involved - all of which is out of my control.

Postage and packing costs: It generally costs me more than I charge for shipping by the time I add in my mailers, stiffeners, shipping labels, printer ink, packing tape, fragile labels, petrol to the post office...so I do not overcharge on my shipping costs in any way.

Feedback: I would appreciate your feedback after the sale and you have received your item and are happy with it. This means I can then leave feedback for you and our transaction is closed.

"Master Of Reality"

6360 050 D

VERTIGO

FULLY PLAY GRADED VINYL - FROM START TO FINISH - EX+ AUDIO!

GERMAN 1ST PRESS:

1. Black 'reversed' swirl label with "A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT"

2. Glossy laminated embossed sleeve

3. Original black poly lined inner sleeve with album code 6360 050 printed both sides (German swirls were not issued with swirl inner sleeves)

VINYL: 

1 0   A A   6 3 6 0 0 5 0   1 Y     320

Nice thick slab of vinyl! Excellent looking vinyl with a few superficial hairlines/sleeve removal marks here and there, and a couple of light superficial scratches but fortunately they have virtually no effect on the audio, with only light background crackle. There is light background noise in between tracks, slightly audible on the quietest sections, but the loud music easily covers this. EX+ audio.

SIDE 1

Plays superbly throughout, even the quiet sections show hardly any background noise. Light background crackle on run out to "Children Of The Grave". No pops or clicks, no jumps no sticks. 

SIDE 2

Plays just as well, again just slight background crackle on run ins and quietest sections, nothing at all serious or intrusive. Loud audio is superb. Plays nicely. EX to EX+ audio again.

Plays right through with no jumps or sticks!

OUTER SLEEVE:

Original laminated embossed sleeve but a more conventional sleeve opening rather than the fairly disastrous 'box' top opening UK counterpart (which was too thick to house the record so always got crushed, and the top opening flap got ripped...suffice to say it was never used again for any other LP release!). In excellent condition with only minor laminate wear and a slight scratch across the purple text on the front. No real edge wear. Excellent condition throughout.

LABELS:

Excellent, two faint initials in blue biro on the swirl logo on B side, only a couple of faint spindle traces. 

INNER SLEEVE:

Original black poly lined sleeve in excellent condition.

Thanks for taking the time. Good luck in the auction.
