Description

Original 1985 UK 12” vinyl LP. Rare, sought after & no surprises. It’s just had its first play in probably 35+ years, the press is simply stunning. The vinyl does have some marks but plays excellent…


Matrix / Runout - Runout side 1: ROUGH . 81 A2 ILLNESS AS ART ^

Matrix / Runout - Runout side 2: ROUGH. 81 B2 DOING THE WYTHENSHAW WALTZ ^


Vinyl: Plays back EXCELLENT! No heavy noise, no heavy clicks, no heavy pops. A little noise in between a couple of the tracks. A really decent press. Visually graded at VG+. Incredibly clean! A couple of non audible hairlines/scuffs on each side under natural light. Minimal further light hairline surface marks visible under bright light where the vinyl has been in and out of its sleeve. No deep surface marks. The record has retained its beautiful sheen. Clean labels, minimal scuffing around centre hole from the turntable spindle.


Gatefold Cover: EXCELLENT! Visually graded at EX+. Very minimal ageing wear is visible but nothing detrimental to its overall stunning appearance. The most notable wear is rear of cover, a slight watermark to the laminate close to the spine. Very slight ring wear (you need to look hard). Colours are clear and vivid. Spine too is in excellent condition, all text clear. Inner cardboard lyric and credit sleeve in excellent condition too.

If you need any clarification or have a specific postage request please ask.


➡️Record grading:

Near Mint (NM) - The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.


Excellent (E) - Same but I'd tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.


Very Good Plus (VG+) - A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.


Very Good (VG) - It's seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.
