Innuendo A2/B2

This first UK pressing plays with excellent audio and with very little 'background'.  The cover is super clean with only a small amount of wear on the top edge and the lyric inner is 'as new'.

Visual grading

This vinyl has a glossy sheen and whilst there are some very faint sleeve removal hairlines, a couple of longer ones on S1, there are no scratches.  It remains in excellent condition for its age and has very little spindle wear.

Play grading  

The intro on 'Innuendo' has only the bare minimum of light static in the background and then plays with very powerful audio.  There is a little static in the quieter 'Spanish guitar' but there are no clicks or pops and it still plays with excellent clarity.  The remainder plays without fault and is a superb listen.  'I'm Going Slightly Mad' again has some static on the intro and then plays to a standard that can only be described as Near Mint the quality is that good.  The remaining tracks play with very strong audio and only light static on the intros and fade outs.  It certainly isn't intrusive and the vast majority plays as Near Mint if not better!  There are no clicks or pops and the power and clarity of the sound is first class.

'All God's People' has hardly static on the intro and then displays audio of an impeccable quality, just a little ubiquitous static on the fade out.  The classic 'These Are The Days Of Our Lives' is stunning and I only heard a small number of mega faint static sounds.  They are not worth mentioning really they are that quiet!  The other tracks on S2 play in impressive style.  The quiet intro on 'Don't Try So Hard' plays with barely any 'background', just a handful of dust ticks on the remainder.  'The Hitman' plays loud and true with no distortion and no clicks or pops.  The very quiet 'Bijou' has extremely clear audio and whilst there is a modicum off static it is non-intrusive.  'The Show Must Go On' ends the album in fine style with very powerful sound and no distortion which is a rarity.  The long fade out has very little static but there are two loud clicks literally at the end.  The only clicks on the album!

The Cover

The cover is one of the cleanest I have seen in a long time and has retained its 'whiteness' extremely well.  The only negative really is a 4cm split on the top edge.  Apart from that the edges have no rubbing and the spine is in superb shape.  The corners have hardly any wear, just a tiny crease on the top two.  The front and back cover are super clean with no obvious marking and the opening edge has no handling wear at all.  So aside from the small area of wear on the top edge this is an excellent example of this 27 year old cover.

Lyric inner

This is in beautiful condition with no wear whatsoever.  Mint and 'as new'.

The labels

Only lightly played there is only a very small amount of spindle wear on the labels.  They have no marking or writing and the run out grooves are also extremely clean.
