Description
A rare chance to own the highly sought after and collectible 2nd album by BLUR, the record that heralded the rebranding of the band's sound and image, and was to provide the template for the forthcoming Britpop movement in the mid-1990s.
This is an Original UK 1st pressing, and as early a copy as you will find!!! - This is NOT the recent 2LP reissue, (which actually does sound better than the original!!) but this is the one for the purists.

Description:
The sleeve is as NEAR MINT as you will find and has been very carefully looked after over its 21 years, a lovely high gloss finish with only a few light crease coming in from the edge, with virtually NO shelf / storage wear along top and bottom edges, corners still retain their original sharpness, no feathering at the opening, spine still proud and legible, overall in fantastic condition.
Glossy Inner lyric sheet is also excellent condition, with no rips, splits or writing and shows only very slight signs of careful handling throughout its' lifetime.
The vinyl is in VG+/EX- condition with a few hairlines and needle tracks visible under a strong light, no spindle marks on the labels as can be seen from the photographs, still retains its original glossy sheen - From the visual inspection I would anticipate a few pops and clicks on the audio on both sides which hopefully will be taken care of with a good clean. As said previously it isn't the best sounding audio, due to the fact
that it is a lot of tracks squeezed onto a single piece of vinyl - hence the reason the reissue does sound better in my honest opinion.
If that is important to you then I recommend that you purchase one of the many available copies but I know which one I would rather have in my collection!!
