This is a vinyl LP record of the album "Heart Attack" by the band Krokus, released in 1988 under MCA Records. The record is a first edition, promo copy in excellent (EX) condition, housed in a cardboard sleeve. This high-fidelity stereo record features heavy metal and hard rock music, making it a must-have for fans of 1980s metal music. The 12" vinyl is in English language and is a valuable addition to any vinyl record collection.
I played this on my Rega turntable to check it and it plays perfectly with excellent fidelity and minimal surface noise. No visible scratches. Significant shelf wear and damage on sleeve, however seams are intact and the original hype sticker is intact. See photos.
Vinyl Record Condition Grading System:
The grading system for vinyl records is a standardized way to describe their condition. Here's a breakdown of each grade:
• Mint (M): An unplayed record in perfect condition. It's as pristine as it was when it left the manufacturer.
• Near Mint (NM): A record that has been handled very carefully and has minimal wear.
• Excellent (EX): Shows minor signs of wear but plays perfectly without any significant noise.
• Very Good Plus (VG+): May have light wear and slight surface noise but still offers a pleasurable listening experience.
• Very Good (VG): Noticeable wear and noise are present, but the record is still enjoyable to listen to.
• Good (G): This record grading system describes significant wear and noise, including potential skips. It's in a condition that affects the listening experience but is still playable.
• Fair (F): Heavy wear, with skips or other playback issues, is often considered for its collectible value rather than listening quality.
• Poor (P): Essentially unplayable but may hold value due to extreme rarity.
