Description
Very rare 1996 The Cure Wild Mood Swings double Mint- vinyl; Mint sleeve and inner-sleeves - owned from new. Condition is "Used" (but could certainly pass for new). I'm being ultra conservative on the vinyl rating here because I don't remember ever playing this. It has sat on my record shelving for over 20 years. According to a well known record collectors App, this is vying with Bloodflowers as my most valuable vinyl! I've taken photos of all sides of the sleeves and vinyl in high resolution - the reflections are of my camera but hopefully you can see clearly the mint condition of the media - I can see no flaw on the vinyl or the sleeves.
This is one of three Cure albums I'm listing today: Wild Mood Swings (1996); Bloodflowers (2000); and The Cure (2004) .
I'm also listing original pressings from Blur, Oasis, Morrissey, Ocean Colour Scene; Pulp, Radiohead etc etc, so please check my other listings if you are interested in mint or near mint original vinyl from this era. This comes from my personal record collection of over 1500 vinyl albums put together over 50 years. As I need to downsize I am starting to advertise around a 100 rarities starting with 90's vinyl, which I was still buying while the world had moved to CDs. I have been an audiophile for as long as I could afford it and moved up from a Thorens TD150 record deck, via Linn Sondek and Pink Triangle to my current SME10, which I've been running with an SMEV arm and Koetsu Rosewood cartridge for over 20 years. If that means nothing to you, suffice to say I take extreme care of my vinyl to the extent that I invested in a Loricraft PRCII professional record cleaner nearly 20 years ago and all of my vinyl immediately goes into protective plastic sleeves. Almost all of my rock/pop collection has been bought from new and I will always make this clear on the listing. Using the Goldmine standard I follow the principle that no vinyl is mint if it has ever been played and there is an outside chance this was - but if so certainly no more than once.

Album sleeve is absolutely mint as are the photo/lyric inner sleeves. The record will be packaged in a Defendapack MusicMax TWISTS mailer and I will remove the vinyl from the paper liners to avoid damage in transit (the vinyl is, of course still protected by the plastic lined record bags). I will also use additional internal stiffeners in the mailing box. From a pet and smoke-free home. As a valuable item this will be dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class special delivery before 1pm for the base Royal Mail price of £8.85. You can also pick up for free from East Grinstead, West Sussex and I will also post worldwide using eBay's Global Shipping Programme. As Royal Mail will only pick up 5 packages a day from my home, I'm going to list up to 5 records at a time with the same auction end date so that you should (Royal Mail being compliant) be in receipt of the record two mornings later (if you are in the UK). That means auctions from Sunday to Thursday (as the Thursday ones should be delivered Saturday morning) and potentially 25 records a week - though I doubt I can maintain that pace! For multiple purchases, I will combine postage where possible (there is a limit with Royal Mail weights but I'll do my best to save you money). If you have any questions please let me know and I'll try to answer them.
