Description

Alicia Keys 2* vinyl LPs - Songs In A Minor + The Diary of Alicia Keys.  PLEASE READ as I won't accept returns - it's sold as seen, hence the huge numbers of photos to help you decide.
TL;DR - buy for Songs in A Minor and you get a bonus copy of The Diary of... that doesn't play well

Songs In A Minor: 2016 EU reissue: Sleeve and media both VG+. Played a couple of times, sounds great, no major issues. Small corner bump at top of spine
The Diary of Alicia Keys: 2003 US OG press: if you look on Discogs, you'll see this pressing is notoriously bad. 
Sleeve: There is a small scratch on the cover + bump at bottom of spine. Inners have small seam splits. The media sound quality is less than great, but the pressing is full of defects:

  • Side A: Plays fine

  • Side B - some deep scratches between end of track 1 and beginning of track 2 - I've tried cleaning these out but to no avail. It's close to unlistenable.

     You Don’t Know My Name - a few skips, pops, noise in the middle, skips and gets stuck near the end

     If I Ain’t Got You - skips and pops from beginning through to first chorus - first half of song unplayable. Second half of song is fine

     Diary - some skips towards the middle


  • Side C - no visible scratches but

     Wake Up - a couple of skips in the middle

     So Simple - skip in the first verse


  • Side D - no visible scratches
     When You Really Love Someone - a couple of skips in the middle
