This listing is for a rare and beautiful copy of Blur's 2nd album from 1993. Released before their commercial breakthrough album Parklife this is a very underrated album from the Britpop era, and due to it's relative lower sales then the albums that proceed it, very hard to find on vinyl especially in this condition.
Act fast this is a great collectors piece and will not be around for long.
Please check out my other listings for other rarities and classics across various genres.
All of my records are play tested on a Technics SL-1200 with a Grado GF3 stylus which is quite revealing so any sound defects may be more exaggerated than on other more mainstream players. Or conversely if you are a full on audiophile I will let you judge how your set up compares and how you envisage the sound will compare.
I don't currently have access to a cleaning machine so please forgive any dust or finger marks which are on any of my records - hopefully will be investing in one at some point.
Record Appearance - VG+/NM Very close to NM there is just a very faint line on Side 1, but is only visible under a bright light and does not affect playback. Side 2 is perfect condition and both sides still have a like new glossy finish, beautiful. The labels are superb with no damage or pen marks and barely any spindle marks suggesting little use.
Record Audio - VG+ Again very close to NM just very minor surface noise on run in and in between tracks but I think is likely just dust in the groove from lack of use, a machine clean would restore perfection I believe. The audio when in full flow is wonderful, big rich sound throughout, a great listen.
Record Sleeve - VG+ Again very close to NM but as it is a collectors piece I do not want to oversell the condition so being cautious. Edges and spine are super clean with no scuffs. Just very minor wear on the corners, but I have bought new records with similar wear. Under a bright light there is only a hint of ring wear, and unfortunately a handful of indentations, but only visible under a bright light. The artwork is stunning and rich colours with no pen marks or other damage. The original inner is also in close to mint condition, with just a couple of tiny scuffs at the opening as expected. The record comes in a separate white inner sleeve and a high quality PVC dust cover to protect your investment.
All questions answered and offers considered. Thanks for looking and please follow me and check out my other listings as they appear. I work full time and have 3 children so please forgive any delay in communication but should be within 24 hours.
