Here we offer a very tough-to-get ORIGINAL European (French-UK?) Columbia-Sony 3C 67228 3-LP VINYL VERSION of "Sketches (For My Sweetheart the Drunk)"! Issued in 1998, this is a magnificent package, and apparently is extremely tough to get on vinyl! The 3 LPs each come in a special innersleeve with liner notes, photos and/or information about the recording, etc. Plus there is a MINT lyric insert. The single LP jacket is a clean EX++...very nice. The VINYL is perplexing...we are grading it overall VG (to near VG+) MAINLY because of what look to be a number of very fine, superficial scuffs and rubs (some occasional "dot-like rubs") on all sides (though some sides have less than others, and NONE are "covered") Our LONG experience in grading "professionally" since the mid-1970s would incline us to say the evidence suggests that the records have "slid" and "moved" in the heavy stock innersleeves (consistent with the wear/ringwear on parts of the innersleeves) resulting in "paper scuffs" and rubbing. Center spindle holes indicate little to no evidence of play, though that is not always reliable. We played 2 sides, and the music was up front and clear, with excellent fidelity, separation of sound, and overall clean sound etc., with only some lightly audible (NOT very distracting) surface noise at beginning of each side and inbetween songs. The LPs are in NO WAY destroyed or marred by deep scratches...in fact, the package is clean and crisp, with a somewhat "new-like" feel to the contents, and there are no "feelable" scratches or marks! Very unusual, but we are NUTS about grading (we use 2.5X reading glasses to grade), and this is still a very respectable original copy of EXTREMELY HARD-TO-FIND Jeff Buckley LP...it SELDOM turns up! Out opening bid is VERY REASONABLE for this LP...and would an ABSOLUTE BARGAIN if it sold at the opening bid price!
