Description
Hi, my name is Brian and I have been buying and selling vinyl on ebay for many years and enjoy enviable feedback from many succesful sales from very happy buyers. I will always give very honest and accurate descriptions with plenty of quality pictures. If for any reason you are not happy with the item you get, I will give a full refund including ALL postage so long as the item is returned in the condition it left me.
I do use the UK record collector grading scale with the odd + or - where justified.
I am very happy to answer any questions and send futher photographs if you wish.
I will only post valuable and rare albums insured and signed for.
I will post anywhere in the world insured and signed for.
The international and UK postal charge is only an estimation, actual costs will depend on destination and value. PLEASE wait for an invoice before paying. THANKYOU.
I use 2 card stiffeners + bubble wrap in a cruciform box with strengthened corners where needed.

SLEEVE........GATEFOLD, UN-LAMINATED.
In the finest of conditions. The sleeve has been in shrink wrap since new. the spine is perfect, the inner gatefold has never ever seen daylight. The front and back can only described as mint. the opening edges have no signs of wear at all. This sleeve is almost perfect, just one tiny corner rub where the shrink wrap does not cover. You will never need to upgrade this sleeve it looks absolutely fresh from the shop. don't forget it is now 38 years of age, and would be almost impossible to find a better sleeve. N/MINT

INSERTS/ POSTERS ETC....see above
LABELS........Top condition, no spindle wear, no unwanted writing, stickers or tears. N/MINT, N/MINT.
VINYL...........Original very 1st pressing on quality vinyl. Very shiny deep black luster with very, very light hair line marks that cause no noise in the playback. There are 1 or 2 light wispy marks on the surface that cause no sound at all and cannot be felt. The vinyl plays through without any problems just quality sound and the usual very quiet dust noise in the quietest parts(ALL vinyl has this). Rich full sound, top stereo separation, open sound stage and a super quality recording. Very nice. EX+, EX+.
CONCLUSION......Clean, complete and very very neat. 1st press, 1st matrix and stampers, great album, quality sound play back, in very collectable condition. Very rare to find an album this old in this sort of condition. No need to ever upgrade.
GOOD LUCK BIDDING, Brian.
