SUPERB COPY

SPACEMEN 3
PLAYING WITH FIRE

FIRE RECORDS
Cat. No. FIRE 16
First press:- Embossed sleeve
Released February 1989
First issue released in an embossed front cover. Initial copies include an insert with live album offer. RARE!.

Will be sent in an anti static NAGAOKA inner sleeve. 

This pressing plays with superb audio across both sides and has been so well preserved down the years. It can only have been
played sparingly which is how it has retained its original sonic quality.
It is easily one of the finest examples I have heard and seen. The vinyl is visually stunning, it just could not look any
better and the previous owner clearly handled them with extreme care.

The same applies to the cover which is also in fantastic condition with no obvious wear.
It truly is a fantastic example. No creases,marks or writing on it and only a trace of a corner bump

The opening has no feathering, top and bottom seams as new and the spine is straight and true with
clear and undamaged print.

The audio on Side 1 is Near Mint
The audio on Side 2 is Near Mint .

The labels are Near Mint (see photos for close ups).

The embossed sleeve, only the very few initial copies had this, is really in mint condition. See photos.
Also included is the VERY rare red insert.



The vinyl is in beautiful condition and has an immaculate jet-black glossy sheen with no marks or scratches.
At first glance you would think they were brand new such is the stunning visual quality. The run out grooves are
unmarked and the labels are also super clean with no marking and NO spindle marks showing how little usage this LP has had.

Play grading

"Honey" a real space rock track plays completely silently throughout.
The intro on "Come down Softly To My Soul" plays with incredible clarity, there is no static, and plays 'as new'.
This is Near Mint without doubt. The run-in and run-out are silent.
The start of "How Does It Feel?" again has no background and then plays with outstanding clarity for the remainder.
Another Near Mint track. The run-in and run-out are silent. Soundless.
"I Believe It" and "Revolution" end side one provide more evidence of a vinyl that has been so well preserved.
These are quiet track sand yet there is not even a single dust tick let alone anything worse!
This is audio of the highest calibre and Near Mint is easily deserved. The run-in and run-out are silent.

The intro on "Let me Down Gently" has very minor crackle at the start. Be aware. From then it plays beautifully with a clarity
of sound that is STUNNING!
The intro on "So Hot" is faultless. It just plays beautifully from start to finish with no intrusion. Again silent run-in and run-out.
"Suicide" and "Lord Can You Hear Me?" end side 2 and play with not only silently but also silent run-ins & run-outs.

As always I have played every track in full. I cannot emphasise enough just how strong and clear the audio is, the playback is stunning.
As stated in my introduction the previous owner really knew how to look after his LPs.
