Description THE STROKES - " IS THIS IT " UK LP. Original 2001 LP on Rough Trade Records. Catalogue number: RTRADELP030. UK first pressing, matrix numbers end 1A/1B The VINYL record in near MINT condition. This is from a collection that I was lucky to get my hands on, where the owner had bought himself two copies of each album, one to play, one to collect. This was the unplayed one. Although I have played it once to check/record it (because it's a great album!) on my Garrard 401 turntable, SME 3009 tonearm with Shure Cartridge. The textured SLEEVE is in near MINT condition and if not for the very slightest dimming of the bright white of the sleeve it would certainly be a MINT grading, no creases, no marks, no stickers, no tears, no shelf wear, no ring wear. A real collector's item. Made in the UK. GRADING I have been grading records for sale, both on and off Ebay, for over 15 years and use the Record Collector Magazine Grading System. In some instances a plus (+) or minus (-) may be added where it is felt the grading falls just above or below the RCMGG rating. Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide: 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. MAILING I use purpose made, strong, cruciform corrugated mailers (Covers33 supplied) with stiffener(s) where necessary, and have years of experience in packing vinyl for mailing, so rest assured your LP(s) will have the best care for transit.
