Description
Repress from later in 1995, first editions were released in March of 1995. These represses have the same cut/mastering as first editions, but matrix number stamps end in "-2" and there is a subtle change to the inner sleeve artwork (see Discogs info). This was an import-only release until Capital reissued the catalog in the US in 2008. This original UK mastering is superior to those Capital reissues in my opinion. Bought second-hand and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment. Nice copy.
- EX cover is clean with no markings and no seam splits. Spine and edges are strong with one spot of wear on the spine (photo) and one spot of wear on the top edge. Gottom edge has no wear. Three small creases along top edge (photo). Corners are strong and sharp with slight wear on the top right corner (photo). Other three corners have no wear. Nice copy.
- NM inner sleeve is clean with no marks, tears, creases or seam splits. Corners are strong and sharp with no wear. Very nice.
- NM vinyl has some light sleeve scuffing from the cardboard sleeve. These are light surface scuffs and will not effect play quality. Really nice copy.

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
