Variants by Closed Casket & Deathwish surely tomorrow.

Open it, listen to it.

These showed up today. Originally ordered a signed orange and a regular blue. They sent me both copies signed.

Here's the thing, if you don't open it, you don't actually know anything about the state of the record. Sure its sealed. But so what? The record could still be pressed off centre due to a mistake at the pressing plant. The wrong music could have been recorded onto the disc. It could have two A sides or two B sides. There could be residue stuck to the disc that no one noticed before they put it in the sleeve and sealed it with the shrink wrap. Sealed doesn't necessarily mean "mint".

If you don't open to make sure it's mint, you should say it's "presumed mint". There could be damage in shipping that you can't see unless you open. I don't think opening is going to scare away anyone who is serious about owning the record

It’s not too bad, I just get a new Crosley each time.

I’ve been doing it the other way around and it seems to work just as well.

Few things make me more proud than seeing the community band together to enlighten someone that records should be opened if they're going to be played, and sealed if they're intended to sell. 🥹 You came to the right place.

Hot pink w/orange splatter up on Newbury

Yup. The listing definitely would need to indicate that the album is "presumed mint" and no returns/refunds. But still expect to have issues with the seller (bad feedback, probable PayPal dispute) if they chose to open it, and there is an issue. Especially if you list it as one pressing based off the limited information you have from the outer sleeve, and it turns out to be a different pressing entirely. With these mass produced major label releases from the 60s-80s, it can sometimes be incredibly difficult to determine the exact pressing with the outer info alone, and you need to verify matrix numbers, center label designs, etc to really be sure. Also, I don't know if this has been debunked as finicky vinyl dude pseudo-science yet, but wasn't the general consensus that decades in shrink poses concerns serious for warping?

Anyone snag an extra copy of the red? Really sad to have missed out on that :*( Yellow marble is up now... x/568 https://riserecords.com/collections/artist-royal-coda/products/rylctoffym-lp

The fall-off of this band is incredible, up there with ADTR for just master level deterioration of quality.

wow!.... hundreds of views and not a single reply?....

Thanks. I bought the last one

Earache Records is now taking orders for a pic disc pressing of Decapitated's first album 'Winds of Creation'. According to the Earache store, people that purchased the pic disc pressing of 'Nihility' can expect the same quality of pic disc of this pressing of 'Winds of Creation'. I am one of those people and can attest to the amazing quality of that pic disc. Pick it up here: https://webstore.earache.com/new-additions/new-additions-vinyl/decapitated-winds-of-creation-picture-disc-vinyl
