Description

This album comes from a recent inheritance, some of which I am selling off.

As you can see from the photos this is not without problems, but actually plays very well.

I would say that the disc looks G+ but actually plays VG on my system (Hana ML/ RB600). More specifically side two plays pretty well, with only significant noise on the run off. Side one has a few more issues with some clicks and pops on most tracks, but this is not by any means constant. In summary it plays much better than I could have hoped on first viewing as there are quite a few scratches on both sides (which are difficult to capture on the photos).

As you can see from the photos the sleeve is worn in places and has some indents and creasing, and is discoloured on the spine. This has been in a smokers home from new and has all the signs of wear from someone who loved this album. However, there are no seam splits or tears and the labels are in really good condition. The inner sleeve is an EMI publicity sleeve and is torn on three sides, and I have put the record in a new poly bag since cleaning it with Ross Andrews Revive fluid.

Runout (Side A stamped): SHVL 765 A-2G P1

Runout (Side B stamped): SHVL 765 B-2G R1

So I will leave it up to you whether you want to bid. You will not get an immaculate version of this rare item but you will get one that is very playable with only a few issues (provided your system is as ‘forgiving’ as mine).

Thanks for looking.
