Description

Rare UK original pressing from 1997 on the Parlophone label, still in shrink.  Bought second-hand and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment.  Vinyl imperfections from inner sleeve scuffing, but still a really nice copy.   

  • NM cover is clean with no markings and no seam splits, still in shrink.  Spine and edges are strong with no wear.  Corners are strong with no wear.  Very slight upper left and upper right corner dings.  Really nice cover. 
  • NM inner sleeves are clean with no markings tears, creases or seam splits.  Corners are strong and sharp with no wear.  Very nice.
  • EX Side 1 has quite a bit of scuffing/light hairlines from the cardboard inner sleeve.  These are surface marks and will not effect the play quality, but it still drops the visual grading. 
  • NM Side 2 has a few very light scuffs/hairlines from the cardboard inner sleeve. Surface scuffs only and will not effect play quality.
  • EX Side 3 has quite a few scuffs/light hairlines.  These are surface scuffs and will not effect the sound quality, but it still drops the visual grading.
  • EX Side 4 has quite a bit of scuffing/light hairlines.  Won't effect play quality but still drops the visual grading.
              **When will they ever learn to use rice paper liners for these types of cardboard inner sleeves!!

I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection.  Much tender loving care has gone into this collection.  I have digitally archived all my albums.  These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins.  All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment.  Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed.  Stay tuned!

Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):
Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect Near Mint means just shy of perfect Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
