Item description

The Girl Who Was... Death is the second album (or first released to the public) by the cult Italian-Slovenian band Devil Doll. OK, I know I don't have to write anything more - if you checked this auction, you are probably a die hard fan (me too!). 

This is of course not the first pressing of this album, but more popular, yet still extremely rare fan club reissue limited to 500 copies.

I did own a few copies of this album and this one is probably the cleanest I've seen so far. It's as clean as my private copy and I was scratching my head deciding which one to list here. I'd prefer to own both as I've been doing for years, but in urgent search for additional funds I have to part ways with some of the albums from my private collection :(

Item condition

Grading: M (mint) / Ex (excellent) / VG (very good) / G (good) / F (fair) / P (poor) / B (bad)

LP gatefold jacket: M-
Looks terrific! There is a little crease (2-3cm) near the lady's mouth (visible at angle) and a smaller one a bit lower. A very small white mark at the very right edge. Other than that it's pristine!

Inner sleeve: M-/Ex+
I'm a bit torn between M and Ex here. It looks really fantastic, but when I compare it to my copy, the front surface (black) is a bit more wavy than mine. It's very light, but when you look at an angle, you'll see it. On the back side (white) there are some black/dark marks - in the center, on the edges. This is typical to this release - every copy I've seen has these marks (in various places, some were even darker). Mine has them as well.

Record: Ex
There are thin scratches in various places, some point size ones as well, a light vinyl wear. From what I see, it was not played a lot, most of the area is very clean. As I mentioned before, I owned quite a few copies of this release and that's probably the cleanest I've seen so far.

Shipping rates

I would combine shipping in case you win more items. EMS is quite expensive when shipping 1 or 2 items, gets much better for more items.

Please note, that neither priority registered shipping (post-office) nor EMS (courier) are insured. Although none of my packages got lost for all these years (registered only, not even EMS), please keep in mind, that in case your package is lost, you will get back only a very small amount of cash in return. If you'd like additional insurance etc. please let me know. Not a problem for me.
 
Items will be packed very carefully and you should not worry about it. I do not sell a lot, but please read the feedback some Ebay buyers left for me in the past
