DARK ROUND THE EDGES

ORIGINAL U.K. 1971

Single, non-gatefold copy

Cover VG+

Record VG-

 

MY GRADING SCALE:

SS = Sealed

M =  Perfect cover, record never played, no defects at all.

EX = Cover with light wrinkles or a light ring, record played very few times (less than 5), some click in playing, few and very light scratches on surface.

VG = Cover with dirt shadows or yellowed, record with light or deeper scratches or congenital vinyl defects.

G = Cover cut or torn off or over-drown with pencils, record full of scratches, labels over-drown, tracks unplayable!!!

 

Yes,

 

You’re bidding on one of the certified original 40 copies in the whole world of Dark’s mythic album. No doubt it is original, even because it’s a VG- copy! Surface should be VG+ but there is a small, very thin “crest” that unluckily forces you to make the pick-up a little heavier to play record.

That’s why I thought to record it on a cd included free in this auction. The cd was recorded directly from turntable with a Philips Cd Recorder and reproduces the exact and perfect sound of this copy, with no filters or post-production. You will listen to the original typical noise of a 1971 self-made record AND the defect I described above, which is a sort of swinging wind, just on 1st and 2nd track of each side. Tracks’ sequence is perfect, no pick-up’s  jumps at all.

So if you, lucky man or woman, will be one of the only 40 worldwide owners of this astonishing monster album, you can keep it on the shelf as an icon, a symbol of your collection, and listen to its cd any time you want. But you can also listen to your record just making the pick-up a little heavier.

Please notice that one of the only 8 known gatefold copies has been sold recently for 9,500,00 euro!!! So I do believe this auction starts at a very affordable, reasonable, cheap price relating to vinyl conditions.

Two words about me (but you can see my feedbacks): I became a record collector in 1986, when I was 17. Above all I collect Italian 45s (over  11,000) but I also have a huge row of LPs. This record in particular’s not mine, it comes from one of the largest and most complete prog collections in Italy.
