Description



HERE ARE THE DETAILS:


ARTIST - THE VERVE


SINGLES: 'URBAN HYMNS'


RELEASE YEAR: 1998


THIS IS A VERY RARE AND LIMITED VINYL PRESSING  - PRODUCED IN VERY SMALL QUANTITIES OF 5,000 UNITS GLOBALLY, COMING WITH THE BROWN MAILER. THE SET SOLD OUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WITHIN DAYS….


BARCODE: ALBUM PLUS MAILER 7 24384 49241 0



CONDITION: PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURE, TAKEN WITH A 12MB HIGH QUALITY LENS AND THEY DO NOT LIE!! I HAVE BEEN SELLING ON EBAY ALL AROUND THE WORLD FOR TEN YEARS, AND ONLY GRADE USING 'RECORD COLLECTOR' STANDARDS! I HAVE DELIBERATELY TAKEN PICTURES IN DAYLIGHT OF THE OUTER COVERS, SO ALL BLEMISHES ARE APPARENT!! 



OUTER MAILER CONDITION: SOFT MATT CARD MAILER IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE OWNED OVER THE LAST EIGHTEEN YEARS. NO SPLITS, A MINOR TEAR IN THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE OPENING FLAP (ND I MEAN MINOR), AND OVERALL VERY CLEAN AND FRESH LOOKING FOR SUCH A POROUS CARD SLEEVE….GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION DESPITE THE MINOR TEAR...


THE RECORD COVER: THE RECORD COMES IN A VERY FRAGILE SINGLE OPENING 'BOX' STYLE SLEEVE TO HOLD THE TWO RECORDS OF MEDIUM WEIGHT. THE SPINE IS FULLY LEGIBLE WITH MINIMAL CREASING AND TINY WEAR POINTS ON THE TIPS OF THE SPINE. THE REAR PANEL IS VERY FLAT WITH MINIMAL IF ANY CREASING. THE FRONT PANEL HAS MINOR CREASING ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER. MINOR WEAR AROUND THE BLACK INK EDGES OF THE SLEEVE. THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR TEARS IN THIS COVER. HARSHLY GRADED EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION DUE TO MINOR CREASING ON RIGHT HAND BOTTOM OF FRONT PANEL….


THE INNERS: THE INNERS ARE BOTH NICE AND FLAT WITH MINIMAL CREASING, AND NO RIPS OR TEARS. GRADED EXCELLENT CONDITION. 


THE RECORDS: THE VISUALS ARE GOOD, WITH MODERATE FINGER MARKS FROM HANDLING. THERE ARE MINOR HAIRLINES FROM THE REMOVAL OF THE RECORDS FROM THE SLEEVES, AND A BIT OF DUST AND STATIC. THERE ARE NO DEEP MARKINGS, SCRATCHES OF SCUFFS ON THE FOUR RECORD SURFACES. CRITICALLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION, DUE TO THE FINGER MARK HANDLING, MINOR GRUBBINESS AND MINOR HAIRLINES. 


PLAY GRADE: THE RECORDS HAVE BEEN MODERATELY PLAYED IN MY VIEW. AS THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME 'TOP TEN' ALBUMS, IT WAS A PLEASURE TO PLAY THIS COPY IN FULL ACROSS ALL FOUR SIDES. THERE WERE NO JUMPS, POPS OR CLICKS, BUT HERE IS MODERATE STATIC IN THE QUIETER SECTIONS AND LEAD-IN'S AND EXITS FROM THE TRACKS. I HAVE A REGA RP6 WITH AN ULTRA THICK ANTI-STATIC MAT, BUT IT STILL CAME THROUGH MODERATELY ON THE PLAYS. THIS RECORD MAY BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONAL CLEAN….HARSHLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION DUE TO MODERATE STATIC. 


SO THERE YOU HAVE IT - NOT A FINAL UPGRADE COPY, BUT A GOOD COPY OF A VERY RARE VINYL VERSION OF THE CLASSIC 'URBAN HYMNS' ALBUM!!


BUY WITH CONFIDENCE - I HAVE BEEN SELLING ON EBAY ON VARIOUS ACCOUNTS SINCE 2003, AND SHIP ALL AROUND THE WORLD USING THE BEST PACKAGING!!
