LABELS: The labels are CLEAN and BRIGHT with NO unwanted marks/writing, little hole wear and only a few spindle traces
VINYL Visual: The surfaces have their original DEEP, almost LIKE-NEW, GLOSSY SHEEN with just a few light marks which have little audio consequence
VINYL Audio: CRYSTAL CLEAR, SHARP, FRESH SOUND. There are NO scratches, NO sticks/jumps and NO clicks/pops - FABULOUS COPY. The sound quality is simply SENSATIONAL throughout and the record plays to an extremely high standard with NO groove-wear and NO distortion. Critically graded as EXCELLENT to (+) for audio - SUPERB COPY
SLEEVE: The original FRONT LAMINATED TRI-FLIPBACK cover (with small MONO) is also in EXCELLENT condition. The spine is 'pinched' at the top and bottom and all text is CLEAR and BOLD. The front laminated surface is CLEAN and unmarked with very little rubbing and the back of the sleeve is remarkably CLEAN. The front top corner (underneath the MONO) has evidence of some kind of label removal which has lifted the laminate slightly but not actually damaged the cover in any way (please see close-up photo) otherwise, the sleeve is in GREAT shape
The original EMITEXT inner is also in GREAT condition - CLEAN and FRESH with NO splits to any of the edges - just some light handling creases

REDUCED POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS (UK: £1.00, EU & INTERNATIONAL £2.00)
I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period. I am continually adding new items which may be of interest to you and it is impractical for me to allow payment to be postponed indefinitely in the expectation that you might wish to bid on future items. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback or limited history not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with NO feedback or limited history (less than 10 positives) contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers

ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT.
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY CUSTOM WRAPRO MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY


I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks
