Description

Mercy - Mercy (self titled debut) (1984) Finger Print Records FING-008 The record is easily EX+ to Near Mint. Plays nice and clean.  The jacket is clean and solid but has some noticeable wear typical of import records. I think it has something to do with the thin cardboard stock they use in Europe.  The paper sleeve is clean and solid. 
This is a very rare album on Finger Print Records out of Sweden. I would call this early Doom Metal for sure. If you're a fan of sludgy underground European metal from the 80's then you will like this album. To my ears I hear a raw Black Sabbath influence.  I found a link about Finger Print Records. You can do a quick search using "Mercy FING 008" and you will find a site listing all Finger Print releases from the 80's. Maybe this will help you get the vibe of what they were putting out. 
This is nice clean vinyl and a part of metal history. It's definitely for listening. Play it LOUD!!!

RECORD GRADING POLICY

SEALED = Factory sealed, never opened.

MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale

EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play

VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play

VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.

VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.

VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.

Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like

Fair = you’re getting this record just to own but not to play

Poor = the sky’s the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
