DOM 'Edge Of Time'  RARE GERMAN PRIVATE PRESS LP ON THE MELOCORD LABEL
YELLOW 'MADE IN GERMANY' LABELS; ST-LP-D 001
I am aware that there is a lot of debate about this record, so I will provide absolutely all of the information that I can. There are also a large quantity of photos below for you to analyse.
I do not know whether this is the original pressing or the bootleg. You will need to make your own mind up with the help of the information provided. If anything isn't clear, or if I have missed anything, please do not hesitate to send me a message and I will be happy to help. 
 Many thanks.
*WHEN LOOKED AT FROM THE FRONT, THE RECORD GOES INTO THE SLEEVE FROM THE TOP (SEE PHOTOS)* *WHEN LOOKED AT FROM THE REAR, THE RECORD GOES INTO THE SLEEVE FROM THE SIDE (SEE PHOTOS)* *THE RECORD IS PRESSED ON HEAVY 120g VINYL* *THE MATRIX CODES ARE HAND ETCHED INTO THE DEAD WAX AND ARE SPREAD ACROSS TWO LINES* *THE MATRIX CODES ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO THE END OF EACH SIDE* *THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS BASED IN GERMANY AND THE PRICE STICKER ON THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE IS FOR 65 DEUTSCHMARKS*
*FULL RELEASE DETAILS CAN BE FOUND BELOW THE PHOTO GALLERY
CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY AUDIO: VERY GOOD(-); both sides played through fine without any jumps or sticks, but there is surface noise present which increases as both sides play through. The first half of each side sounds much better than the second. Given the visual appearance of the record, this may improve with a professional clean. Otherwise, this may be related to the pressing. 
VINYL VISUAL: EXCELLENT; nice shiny vinyl with light paper scuffs/hairlines under a bright halogen lamp. One small mark on side 1. Looks great.
LABELS: Both EXCELLENT(+).
SLEEVE: EX/EXCELLENT(+); the sleeve is in great condition. A little light scuffing to the edges and just the beginning of some very mild ring wear to the front. There is a small price sticker on the front which I haven't tried to remove.

***INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RATES APPEAR BELOW THE PHOTO GALLERY; PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE IF THE SALE VALUE IS BELOW £50***

***UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL ITEMS WITH A FINAL SALE VALUE IN EXCESS OF £46 MUST BE SENT VIA SPECIAL DELIVERY***

All of my records have been play tested before listing using a Rega P3-24 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge & stylus. I describe honestly and accurately but please bear in mind that I am only human and such things are always subjective. I tend to grade records conservatively and believe that my feedback speaks for itself. 

I will never grade a used record as Mint as I do not believe that a second hand record ever truly can be. Therefore, if I grade as Near Mint or Excellent(+) then you can assume that is as near to Mint or Archive quality as I believe it can be. Please take confidence from the fact that I have been a collector myself for over 20 years (please check my feedback as a buyer) and know only too well how disappointing it is to receive an inaccurately described record.

I also grade visually using a strong halogen lamp.

I use the Record Collector grading system as shown below.

POSTAGE / SHIPPING

I post worldwide and pack all records in custom made (stiff) card mailers and add extra packaging inside to ensure a safe delivery. I will provide a protective polythene sleeve and the record and inner will be removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits in transit. I want your record to get to you in the condition that it was when it left me.

For any records that come with printed inner sleeves, I will also provide an additional plain inner.

As a general rule, shipping will be discounted.

Shipping rates quoted are valid up to a total sale value of £2500 within the UK and £500 for overseas buyers.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT: 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 advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: 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: 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: The 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: 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: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
