Description

I am selling Greatest Hits, Greatest Hits II and Greatest Hits III on vinyl and on separate auctions and all are in stunning condition
This rare first press of Greatest Hits II is in stunning condition and is without doubt one of the best I have heard.  I have played both vinyls and the sound quality is sublime.  Side One plays with amazing clarity with perhaps one/two hints of crackle.  Side Two plays similarly and the only interference I heard was during the Spanish guitar section on 'Innuendo' which comprised of two light clicks and a 'rasp' over about three seconds.  The remainder of the side plays superbly and 'Who Wants To Live Forever' in particular.  The quiet sections are free of any background noise.  
Side Three plays almost perfectly with practically zero background noise, just the slightest hint of crackle in a couple of places but you expect that anyway.  Side Four plays in the same fashion, practically as new.  There is a faint hairline on this side but it does not affect the audio in any way.  
Under a bright light I cannot detect any hairlines apart from the one on Side Four.  There is a little spindle wear but it is obvious the records have been hardly played.  They play with a great clarity and have to be heard to be believed!
The gatefold cover is also in wonderful condition and has to be best I have seen.  It is very nearly of Mint quality that is how good it is.  It of course has the raised embossed crest being a first press.  There is no shelf wear to the edges and it retains a strong wide spine.  If I was to pick any fault (and it is difficult!) there is minimal rubbing to the top and bottom of the opening edge and 2/3 very small creases around the edges but as I say that is being picky!  It is in fabulous condition and is definitely one of the best you will ever find and as anyone knows this cover is notoriously found in poor condition.
  The inner sleeves are in perfect condition with no marks or splits at all.


 Play tested on my Technics SL-J110R turntable system
