THE DARK LINES SOMETIMES SEEN ON THE PHOTOS OF THE RECORD FACE DOWN ARE JUST REFLECTIONS FROM THE BEAMS ON OUR CEILING , THANK YOU . ALL RECORDS ARE TESTED ON MY TRUSTY AIWA TURNTABLE AND GOOD QUALITY JVC AMP . THIS DOES ONLY HAVE A STD BASS AND TREBLE CONTROL . I LIKE TO USE THIS AS IT PICKS UP EVEN THE VERY SLIGHTEST BIT OF NOISE SO I KNOW I CAN DESCRIBE EVERY LP CORRECTLY ETC . I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT PLAYED ON BETTER OR TOP QUALITY SYSTEMS WITH GREATER AND MORE TECHNICAL SOUND CONTROL ETC , THESE RECORDS WILL SOUND A LOT BETTER THAN I HAVE DESCRIBED . I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I OFTEN GIVE RECORDS ANOTHER QUICK PLAY ON THE FIRST COUPLE OF TRACKS ON MY PERSONAL TOP QUALITY PIONEER SYSTEM AND I DO FIND THAT MOST OF ANY NOISES LIKE CRACKLE ETC ARE MUCH MUCH QUIETER , SOME EVEN HARDLY SOUND AT ALL . I TEST EVERY RECORD AND FIND THAT MY AIWA WILL COVER MANY OTHER SIMILAR SET UPS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE , I DID WANT TO JUST POINT THIS OUT , THANK YOU . Please note that i do tend to use " Very Good Condition " for most of my records , although none are heavily scratched etc and most will just have some general light surface marks only . The only exception to this is if the record does have scratches and lots of marks etc but is very rare and collectable and will be described in great detail . I never use " Mint " or " Near Mint " unless the record is unopened from it's original shrink wrap and is clearly unplayed . Even with these i am wary because if the record has been stored for years in maybe a damp garage or loft etc and has not been opened , then we can only presume it should be mint because we obviously can't actually see the record . Everyone obviously has their own opinions as to what is very good and excellent , but in my case , i tend to think that most , if not all records do have marks to some degree ( lots even from new ! ) purely because they are vinyl and mark easy and have been used over a considerable amount of time in most cases . This is why i use Very Good most of the times . This is also why i do go into great detail with my descriptions , as the term " Very Good " can be a bit vague . I do use " Excellent Condition " sometimes , but in my case , i would class this as hardly played , excellent shine and just a handful of the very very lightest and small surface marks only ( in other words , looks like new ) . Lots of my records as you can see by my feedback are better than described , more better than very good and closer to near ( if not ) excellent and i do pride myself on this fact , this is why i do use mainly " Very Good " but with very detailed descriptions also of which i will say i can go a little OTT with noise and general condition and can often make a record sound bad when it really isn't , i do just try my best to say how it is , but as i say please do check my feedback and you will see you can bid with confidence , thank you . PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY ITEMS WHICH END OR HAVE PAYMENT CLEARED ON A THURSDAY PM WILL BE POSTED ON THE NEXT MONDAY AS I DO NOT POST ON FRIDAYS OR SATURDAYS THANK YOU . Atlantic Soul Classics Various LP German Atlantic 1987 Alsdorf Super Overall Audio . On German Atlantic 241 138 - 1 . COVER: Non laminated front and rear cover generally in very good condition . FRONT: FACE: Still nice and clean . A few usual but light surface crease crack lines in places round the edges and one just below the word Stereo . A few very light and small usual general surface / handling / age related marks in places . The usual ringwear marks , but very light indeed . One extremely light and small surface only crease line near the bottom right corner , though this really is very light indeed . TOP / BOTTOM MAIN EDGES ( Not Including Corners Please See Corner Description ): Top edge , very light rub wear . There is the same printing on the top edge as is on the spine edge , often seen on German covers and the text on this is still fully legible . Bottom edge , some mostly light rub wear with just a few tiny isolated spot marks of white showing through . MAIN SPINE EDGE ( Not Including Corners Please See Corner Description ): Very good overall . A few ( two or three ) usual but very small crack lines in places . A bit of very light dent wear in places and a slight slant is present , but the spine retains it's overall shape . Text is legible . There are just a few tiny spot rub marks where white is showing through , but these really are extremely small indeed . OPENING EDGES: Some normal but very very light and small signs of useage wear present . CORNERS: Some usual light fray / dent wear on the corners but this really is very small and tight onto all the corners , certainly nothing overly excessive etc , just consistent with age . REAR: Very good overall . A few usual general surface / handling / age related marks in places . Some usual surface crease crack lines in places round the edges mainly on the right hand side . Again there are the usual ringwear marks , but again very light . There is one very light surface crease line near the top right corner . Overall it still retains it's general cleanliness and any marks are really just consistent with age , but certainly nothing overly excessive as you can see . As i say this really is still very good overall . INNER SLEEVE: Plain white poly lined paper inner sleeve generally in good condition . A few light general surface / age related marks . Very light ringwear marks . A couple of very light and very small surface crease marks in places . Some light normal useage wear on the top opening edges . There are quite a few light browning spot marks in places on both sides and a few larger ones also on the other side . I am unsure if this is the original inner sleeve . RECORD: The overall visual grade under normal household light conditions is a very strong between very good / near excellent condition ( actually airing slightly more to the near excellent side ) with mostly just some very light hairline surface marks on both sides and two or three tiny more visible non feelable spot marks , there are no nasty gouges / scratches whatsoever . It plays beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the audio playback with mostly just some extremely occasional very very very light background only noise in odd places on some of the quieter parts only . Tick wise on the music , i just heard 5 or 6 light ticks in total and 3 or 4 of those were on the first track on S2 . Any noises tend to be in just quick short sharp bursts and in odd places only , are not constant and do not spoil any enjoyment . There are some usual and louder noises heard on the silent run ins/offs and silent track changeovers , though i must say that even most of these were very quiet indeed . This record on the music really does play and sound fantastic overall and the audio tones are still truely awesome . There are no jumps etc and it still retains a lovely overall shine . Both labels are excellent , writing free , lovely and clean with just a couple of usual but very light and small spindle marks . There really is very little to report on this one other than the very few odd light ticks already mentioned , any of the very very lightest bit of background only noise was extremely minimal indeed and very very very occasional as i say . This really must be one of the better overall sounding examples out there today , infact a lot of this record does actually play virtually noise free ! and i really can't stress enough how good it plays and sounds overall . All in all a very nice overall example of this now collectable item together with super overall sound , do turn this one up and enjoy ! . Thank you very much for your time and interest and happy bidding . Please do read the following ref post and packing and item gradings explained thank you . Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times , but displays no major deterioration in sound quality , despite noticeable surface marks and the occassional light scratch . Postage prices shown are for the UK . All items are sent via Royal Mail 1st class std post , unless otherwise stated in the listing . Please note that any bids that exceed £20 GBP ( inclusive ) , will be sent via 1st class recorded in the UK and International signed for ( only 7" singles are available to post for Europe , no LP's outside the UK sorry ) in Europe , this is due to Royal Mail now only covering up to £20 on standard deliveries. Please be aware that the extra cost for this WILL be added on to the base rates that are shown if this is the case , thank you . Please do feel free to contact me for signed for extra charges prior to bidding . Please can you wait for my invoice before paying if i have to change the invoice to signed for , thank you . Please also note that I always obtain proper proof of postage when I post any items . Please note, all records are packed in proper pro card mailers with a minimum of 3 stiffeners for LP’s and 2 for 7" singles ( more if i think they are needed ) . CD’s , Cassettes and DVD’s are sent in strong bubble wrap envelopes. These are also taped with brown parcel tape along all edges and seams for added protection. Please note that whilst I haven’t increased my postage charges for a very long time now , this now other recent price increase , has seen me , unfortunately , have to put a slight increase on my overall charges . This is also topped with the rise in cost for quality card mailers , jiffy bags , stiffeners and Ebays new 10% extra fee for postage costs to all sellers , but I do obviously want to still remain competitive and still offer my usual top quality service . Please also note that I now send ALL LP’s with a minimum of 3 stiffeners on all none GF LP's and all 7" singles with a minimum of 2 stiffeners . I do not agree with making money out of postage from people who are good enough to buy an item from me and would never enter into this practice , as you can see by my charges on all my items , after all the fees and costs etc , i never make anything from it and wouldn't want to , in fact in the end , i actually lose money on postage . For a quick example , i now charge £4.25p ( as from 25/3/19 ) to post an LP 1st class in the UK , you can check on the stamp and see that i paid £3.55p ( also as from 25/3/19 new RM charges ) , now you may well be thinking , hang on why haven't i charged £3.55p to you , when i say i do not make any money from postage ? . The reason for this is , there are many other costs involved with postage for me . Ebay firstly will charge me 10% of the postage i charge , in this case 43p , take this off what i charge and that comes to £3.82p which leaves 27p over . I have just topped up my mailers and stiffeners and i paid £28.00p for 50 mailers and 100 stiffeners , i also have to buy extra stiffeners because i send my LP's out with at least 3 ( but quite often 4 ) stiffeners which also are not cheap , so as you can see 1 mailer and 2 stiffeners cost me 56p , add on the price of another 2 stiffeners ( max ) plus also take into account Paypals percentages , who now i have just noticed have started to take 20p per item that are sold on Ebay plus their usual charges which craftily they work out on the whole cost of the deal , including the postage ! and other things like petrol etc . I am sorry for having to explain this , but i just thought you would like to see that any extra has gone as soon as the deal is done , so you can clearly see , i do not make any money at all from postage , in fact it's clear to see , i actually lose money , i would estimate that i actually lose about 55p to 65p just on postage , i totally understand this is my problem and no one is bothered about this in the slightest , but i just wanted to point out these facts and show you how i am not one of the many people who actually charge more than this for postage and don't even send the record in a proper mailer etc , please do see my feedback on my packing etc , thank you again for your time in reading this .
