Two LP 50th Anniversary reissue with heavy stock tip-on jacket and custom printed inner sleeves.

Hype sticker on front cover shrink-wrap:
"Direct to analog mastering by Kevin Gray / Cohearent Audio"
"2LP Pressed on 180gm vinyl at Precision"
"Bonus LP featuring rare cuts making their vinyl debut, highlighted by Marvin's previously unreleased 'stripped' version, plus all original mono single mixes and their B-sides"

Sticker on back cover shrink-wrap:
"Made in Czech Republic"

Stickers on some sealed copies state: "Pressed [...] at Precision" on hype sticker vs. "Made in Czech Republic" on back cover sticker, suggesting lacquers from Cohearent Audio were plated in Czech Republic and pressed at Precision, though this can't be determined definitively based on deadwax information.

Condition Ratings

MINT (M): Perfect, brand new, unplayed.

Near Mint (NM): Like new, barely played, will play perfectly.

Excellent (EX): Very close to near mint, with minor cosmetic wear. Will play perfectly.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Light cosmetic blemishes that do not affect play. Close to perfect playback.

Very Good (VG): Some light marks that may cause minor noise during playback. Still enjoyable and plays well.

Good Plus (G+): Noticeable noise during playback. Only listed if of collector value. Not ideal for listening.

You may request the results of a play test. Shipping can be combined on multiple items!

New records can be nicely taken out of their sealed sleeves and shipped this way to protect from seam splits during transit. If you’d like this done, please let us know or leave a note when you place your order.
