FRUPP - FUTURE LEGENDS - DAWN DNLS 3053 - 1ST PRESSING ORIGINAL IN ORIGINAL TEXTURED SLEEVE AND ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE
Matrix / Runout (Side A): DNLS 3053 A-2?G Matrix / Runout (Side B): DNLS 3053 B
COVER - EX
AT FIRST SIGHT THE SLEEVE SHOWS PERFECTION. HOWEVER ON CLOSE EXAMINATION - INSIDE LEFT-PANE TOP EDGE SHOWS A SMALL DINK (SEE PHOTO) - REAR, TOP RIGHT CORNER SHOWS A SMALL AMOUNT OF CREASING (SEE PHOTO) - REAR, BOTTOM LEFT CORNER SHOW MINUTE AMOUNT OF WEAR (SEE PHOTO)
- CLOSED EDGE SHOWS SOME LIGHT SUN BLEACHING ON THE REAR, BLEEDING INTO AROUND 4MM OF THE COVER (SEE PHOTO FOR AN EXAMPLE STRETCH FROM THE REAR)
- MY NAME IS WRITTEN ON THE INSIDE RECORD ENTRANCE TO THE SLEEVE (SEE PHOTO)

INNER SLEEVE - VG / EX INHERENTLY IT IS IN EXCELLENT PHYSICAL CONDITION WITH NO TEARS AND MINIMAL CREASING. HOWEVER, IT IS SLIGHTLY AGE-DULLED-TANNED, ESPECIALLY SO AT ONE SIDE (PRESUMABLY THE SIDE EXPOSED MOST TO ATMOSPHERE OVER THE NEARLY 50 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS)
VINYL - EX - MOSTLY (see note in description) I CAN BARELY RECALL PLAYING THIS AT ALL (unlike several in my collection which were, frankly, played to death and which will not be sold). CONSEQUENTLY IT LOOKS MOSTLY IMMACULATE AND WELL WORTHY OF EX, OR EVEN EX+. HOWEVER... ON SIDE 1 THERE IS A NOTICEABLE BROWN MARK AT THE START OF TRACK 2 - SEE PHOTO (which frankly makes it look worse). IT MEASURES BARELY 5 MM OUTER EDGE TO INNER, AND BARELY A MM WIDE. LOOKED AT UNDER STRONG LIGHT AND MAGNIFYING GLASS IT LOOKS TO BE PART OF THE VINYL ie A VINYL PRESSING FAULT RATHER THAN A PLAYING/OWNING MARK. I HAVE PLAYED THOROUGH THIS MARK 3 TIMES ON MY HI-FI SYSTEM AND CANNOT HEAR ANY SIGN OF IT, AGAIN REINFORCING THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THERE AS PART OF THE PRESSING PROCESS.
IF THE BUYER DISAGREES ABOUT 'NOT HEARING IT' I WILL REFUND AND ACCEPT RETURN

LABELS - VG/EX AGAIN, SOMEWHAT LIKE THE INNER SLEEVE, THE LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT INHERENT PHYSICAL CONDITION, NO SPINDLE MARKS, WRITING OR SCRATCHES. BUT THEY DO HAVE SOME AGE-TANNING-BROWNING-SPOTTING (SEE PHOTOS)




ALL VINYL IS VISUALLY GRADED UNLESS REFERRED TO OTHERWISE. IF THERE IS A FAULT ON THE VINYL I WILL TRY TO PHOTO THIS, BUT GETTING LIGHT / SHINE / REFLECTION ANGLES CORRECT FOR A GOOD PHOTO IS OFTEN DIFFICULT. WHILST I AM LISTING SO MANY AT THE MOMENT PLAY-GRADING WHOLE ALBUMS IS NOT POSSIBLE, BUT WHERE THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FAULT (REPORTED IN DESCRIPTION) I WILL PLAY THROUGH THIS AND REPORT IN THE DESCRIPTION.

SLEEVES - OUTER AND INNER - ARE DESCRIBED, AND WHERE POSSIBLE FAULTS ARE SHOWN (OR EXAMPLED IF SEVERAL) BY PHOTO.
ALL PHOTOS IN MY LISTING ARE OF THE ACTUAL COPY I HAVE FOR SALE. ABSOLUTELY NO STOCK PHOTOS USED (so apologies also if my photos are less than 'professionally' crisp)


I AM USING THE UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING, AS FOLLOWS:- Mint (M)

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 marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX)
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 (VG)
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 (G)
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 (F)


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 (P)
The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing

Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.

I MAIL USING BOUGHT-IN RECORD MAILERS, WITH ADDITIONAL STIFFENING IF USEFUL.
ALL RECORDS ARE 'DECONSTRUCTED' FOR POSTAGE, IRREGARDLESS OF THE CONDITION OF SLEEVE OR INNER.
- THE OUTER SLEEVE IS PLACED IN A NEW PLASTIC COVER
- THE VINYL IS PLACED IN A NEW PAPER INNER SLEEVE

THIS IS REFELECTED IN THE POSTAGE PRICES, AND MY INSISTENCE ON USING A 'SIGNED FOR' SERVICE FOR DELIVERY. I WILL COMBINE POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES. UK - + £1.50 PER ADDITIONAL ALBUM OVERSEAS - + £3.00 PER ADDITIONAL ALBUM.

IF YOU BUY MORE THAN ONE ALBUM FROM ME AT A TIME PLEASE WAIT FOR MY EBAY INVOICE, REFLECTING COMBINED POSTAGE, BEFORE PAYING.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGES / TAXES THAT MAY BE ADDED/YOU MAY BE CHARGED FOR, NOR FOR ADDITIONAL DELIVERY SERVICE CHARGES (eg CASH ON DELIVERY) FOR ADDITIONAL TAX-COLLECTION FEES.
ALSO, I AM UNSURE ABOUT DELIEVRY TIMES PARTICULARLY TO EUROPE FOLLOWING BREXIT, THOUGH I HAVE SO FAR THIS YEAR SOLD A HANDFUL OF NON-ALBUM ITEMS THAT HAVE GOT TO GERMANY, FRANCE, SWITZERLAND AND THE USA WITHOUT ANY APPARENT PROBLEMS OR EXCESSIVE DELAYS.

ALTHOUGH I AM JUST RECENTLY BACK INTO SELLING AND SENDING SOME OF MY VINYL COLLECTION I SUCCESSFULLY SENT MANY RARE, HIGH VALUE RECORDS (eg CRESSIDA, INDIAN SUMMER, JADE WARRIOR) HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE WORLDWIDE AROUND 2 YEARS AGO WITH NO PROBLEMS OR ISSUES REPORTED.
