Description

The Specials “The Specials”. Rare, original 1st Japan pressing LP+OBI+Insert. 1980 Chrysalis Records WWS-81288. Made in Japan. Out of print.


A stunning, near pristine copy of the classic Specials debut LP. This is as close as you’re ever likely to find for an “As New” condition of this record. It is like going back in time to 1980 and finding this freshly placed on the rack in a record store. Please see pics.


LP SLEEVE: Beautiful. As new. No seam-splits, rips, or tears. Sharp corners. Crisp spine.


INSERT: As new except for the faintest hint of aging discoloration along the upper-left edge. It really only becomes more noticeable if you were to observe it closely under very bright light.


OBI STRIP: As new


VINYL: beautiful, lush, deep black, silky sheen. This basically looks unplayed. When I carefully inspect the surface by tilting it at various angles under direct sunlight, only the faintest hint of barely visible, wispy hairline marks appear. These marks literally disappear as soon as the sunlight catches them and are impossible to photograph. Under normal room light, these are basically non-existent. As pristine as you are ever likely to find.
