 Extra Details: Rare original  LP, this is nigh impossible to find and rarely comes up for sale. It is a genuine first pressing with A2/B2 matrices and pink block Island labels. Both sleeve and vinyl have a few marks and so I have decided to put it up for auction starting at 99p with no reserve. Good luck and good bidding!

The photos on here are of the ACTUAL item for sale - they are not stock photos, photoshopped or anything else - what you see here is what you will get! Hopefully, you can find any other info that you require via the photos - i take photos of all aspects to show you the record as fully as possible. If you have any further questions then please email me and i will do my best to answer.

Condition

Sleeve:  Ringwear and edgewear but no seamsplits, tiny sticker tear on the rear to the left of the Island logo at the top, previous owners name written on the rear bottom right

Record: Visually it has quite a few marks and scratches although it plays much better than it looks - with the normal crackles as expected and a few clicks here and there, it could be improved by a good deep clean. I have played it through and the surface noise/scratches never seriously affect the music - which is surprising as it is such a delicate album

 PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE NOT CLEANED THIS AS I KNOW MANY COLLECTORS HAVE THEIR OWN SPECIFIC WAYS OF CLEANING. DUE TO THIS, THE CONDITION WILL INEVITABLY BE IMPROVED BY A GOOD DEEP CLEAN. I WILL BE HAPPY TO HANDCLEAN THE RECORD IF THE BUYER WISHES ME TO, PRIOR TO SENDING.

 Used vinyl can have a crackle in places. This is normally due to static build up and can be substantially reduced, or even totally eradicated, by a good deep clean - or by using an anti-static spray.
