Description
ULTRA-RARE 1995 U.K. vinyl pressing of Elton John’s ‘Made in England’ LP (Catalogue Reference: Rocket 526 185-1). This is unbelievably rare. I cannot image that they pressed more than a few thousand copies of this (at most). This copy has never seen heavy play. The vinyl is housed inside a card inner sleeve and is graded as being in EXCELLENT+ condition. I would guess it has been played once or twice. A couple of hairline scratches are visible under an intense light however, this is really not surprising when vinyl is stored in a cardboard inner. The sleeve is also in EXCELLENT+ condition. The only obvious flaw is some damage to the top left-hand sleeve. This consists of a small area of the sleeve in which some impressions have been made. It hasn’t broken through the sleeve but has exposed a little of the white cardboard underneath (more condition details below).

Condition
Inner + Sleeve
There is a small amount of damage to the top left-hand of the sleeve, which is noted in detail above. Each corner has lost a tiny amount of print and is white (tiny) and combined with this there is some shelf-wear t the edges of the sleeve (i.e. along the bottom). The artist’s name and title of the LP are on a sticker at the top of the sleeve. The print is in gold and some of this has faded. These points are very minor and do not detract from what is a great copy of this LP which I conservatively grade as being in EXCELLENT+ condition. I should state that the Inner Sleeve is immaculate and is graded as being NEAR MINT.
Disc
This I grade as being in EXCELLENT+ condition. It has clearly only been played once or twice (a few spindle marks on the B-side label). Under an intense light a few hairline scratches are visible on both sides.
Concluding Remarks
Simply a great copy of an impossible to find record! Please check my other auctions for further rare items!
General Terms etc.
Payment available via Paypal and Personal Cheque. Payment is expected within 7 days of auction end unless agreed otherwise. Postage costs are for standard 2nd Class Royal Mail delivery in the U.K. and all items are (in my opinion) well packaged (1st Class is utilised where possible). Multiple purchases will be subject to reduced, combined postage. I endeavour to dispatch items as soon as possible. Overseas buyers are welcome. You don’t need to email me. So long as you can pay me efficiently (i.e. Paypal) and I can get the item to you then that is good enough for me!

Lastly, I endeavour to be accurate with all my grading. All items are graded under an intense light. I have been a collector for in excess of 15 years and I would describe myself as being conservative (I think my feed-back speaks for itself in this respect)! If you are not entirely happy with your purchase then contact me.
