Description: AC/DC BACK IN BLACK MINT- 1980 UK ATLANTIC 1st PRESS A1/B1 TOP COPY ! AC/DC BACK IN BLACK MINT- 1980 UK ATLANTIC 1st PRESS A1/B1 TOP COPY ! Click images to enlarge Description The records I offer for sale are from my extensive personal collection of 1960s and 1970s albums which I have built up over the last four decades. During that time I have added duplicate copies of some of my favourite albums to my collection. I've always sought out the very best copies available as I am very particular about the records that I own. Storage space limitations dictate that the time has come for me to pass on a few of these choice albums in order to downsize my collection. It's my pleasure to offer for sale a stunning MINT- copy of AC/DC's seventh studio album titled "Back In Black", Catalogue Number K50735. It's a 1980 UK stereo first pressing on the Atlantic record label, with an embossed matt-finish single sleeve Printed and Made in England. [The etched matrix numbers are the earliest K50735 A-1 and K50735 B-1. Additionally "STRAWBERRY" is etched in the run-outs of both sides]. The sleeve is in EX+ condition with only the lightest signs of wear and no creases of any significance (just a few tiny lines near the edges). The front and back covers are unmarked with the back cover showing only a very minor ring impression which is very unusual for this particular sleeve. The slim spine is solid with perfect text. It's a beautiful example. Please study the supersize photos which form an important part of the description. The top quality mid-weight record retains its original shine and rotates evenly on the turntable. It is in MINT- condition with only a few wispy sleeve-removal type surface marks evident when angled against bright light. There are purely superficial and do not have any effect whatsoever on the audio playback. The orange & green Atlantic labels are like new with maybe just a couple of faint spindle traces each side. There is no wear to the spindle hole. Both sides play MINT- throughout with no discernible deterioration in sound quality and barely any unwanted noise at all. The sound quality is particularly powerful and vibrant with lots of wonderful guitar riffs and great bass. It's a top-playing copy in every respect and a fantastic listening experience. I guarantee that it will not disappoint! The picture/credits inner sleeve is in EX condition with no splits or tears, just a few faint age discoloration spots on the light background of the picture of Angus. Overall this is a superb UK first pressing of AC/DC's magnificent Back In Black album which will make a fine addition to any record collection. GRADINGS The records that I offer for sale have been critically play-graded, at loud volume, on a Pioneer PL-L1000 linear-tracking turntable fitted with a Nagaoka MP-30 cartridge. I will only sell records that play to a high standard. My grading is strict and in accordance with the following descriptions: · MINT- Record is superb, almost like new, with just a few sleeve removal type surface marks and no deterioration in sound quality. Sleeve is near perfect in all respects. · EX Record is a top quality example with just a few very light surface marks and virtually no discernible deterioration in sound quality. Sleeve has slight wear and/or creasing. · VG Record has some visual surface marks, but still plays to a high standard without any major deterioration in sound quality – just a few clicks or light surface sound in places. Sleeve has normal wear and tear without any major defects but is still very presentable. All records can be expected to rotate sufficiently evenly on the turntable for there to be no effect whatsoever on the audio playback. Minor warps or dishing will not be mentioned as virtually all records display these features to some degree and no record is perfectly flat. Vinyl is not a perfect medium and even the finest quality pressings will play with a degree of residual surface sound, however minimal. Where, in my opinion, unwanted noise interferes with the listening enjoyment of the record, it will be mentioned in the item description. It is unrealistic to expect a 40+ year old record to play with a background of complete silence. Please bear this in mind when bidding. PACKAGING LPs are packaged with care and well protected to ensure that they arrive safely in the same condition as they leave me. Records are removed from both inner and outer sleeves in order to prevent seam-splits in transit.
