Here is the over-the-top description from whom I bought it:
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Gang Of Four called "Entertainment" and is an ORIGINAL 1979 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press EMI label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS ONE OF THE RAREST LP ON THE EMI LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1979 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS. AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE, AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS A 'DAY OF RELEASE' 1ST PRESSING, WITH 1ST PRESS 'PICTURE/TEXT' LABELS (LATER ONES DONT!), AND IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS 'PICTURE/LYRIC' INNER SLEEVE!!!!
AND INCREDIBLY, THE COVER HAS ALSO NEVER EVER BEEN UNWRAPPED SINCE THE DAY IT WAS BOUGHT!!!!! APART FROM THE OPENING EDGE - THE COVER IS STILL FULLY SEALED IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAPI!!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1979 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS EMI LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1U/1U MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS 'PICTURE/LYRIC' INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS COVER (STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP!)!!!!
THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL EMI UK 1st Pressing from 1979 and is in SUPERB condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is EMC 3313 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press EMI label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!
The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these Punk/New Wave LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA ight hairlines NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 absolutely ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!
BRILLIANT RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Picture/Lyric' inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press Cover is in AMAZING condition!!!! As it is still FULLY SEALED (apart from the opening edge) in its ORIGINAL Factory Shrinkwrap - it has NO edge wear (SUPERB unworn edges!), NO spinal wear (SUPERB vertical spine, with PERFECT side words!), NO sticker marks NO sticker tears, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (virtually NONE!), NO rips, NO tears, barely ANY creases AT ALL (virtually NONE - and cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the back of the cover is in AWESOME condition with NO grubbyness, NC yellowing, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!' The cover must grade Excellent++++ if not MINT (Minus)!!!! AWESOME COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
