Description

Prince - Rare Variant Original 1991 EU pressing of Diamonds & Pearls 2 x 12" Vinyl (near Mint) with inner sleeves (see photos).
I bought this new in 1991, just before switching to CDs, and so it has very rarely been played and is in excellent, near mint condition. There are some hairline marks but they do not affect the playback. I have not tried to clean the vinyl and it may have picked up some dust when I took the photos.
I have listened right through both 12" and the sound quality is excellent. Both of the LPs are in Near Mint condition - I heard only one slight pop during 'Daddy Pop' and some very slight crackles during 'Strollin' and everything else sounded great. To preserve the high quality of the vinyl I have put both LPs into MoFi Original Master Sleeves.
The Outer Sleeve and both Inner Sleeves are in very good condition - being over 30 years old they do show some shelf wear - the outlines of the vinyl rings being visible and some slight creasing too, but there are no tears, no writing or stains anywhere.There are minor dinks at the corners of the outer sleeve - please see my photos for details as they form part of the description.
This release is a rare unknown variant that I haven't been able to exactly identify (the cover doesn't have the embossed Warner "W" logo and the run outs do not have the 'Hü' signature in matrix so I don't think it is the UK release).  The matrices are:
Side 1 - WMME Alsdorf 759 925379-1-A3  then some space and what looks like '20' Side 2 - WMME Alsdorf 759 925379-1-B3  then some space and what may be '12'   Side 3 - WMME Alsdorf 759 925379-1-C2  then some space and what may be a 'g' or a '9' Side 4 - WMME Alsdorf 759 925379-1-D4

If you have any questions please ask and I'll try to help.

I will package orders well and send them tracked, using eBay's buyer protection system for your peace of mind. 

I keep a digital recording of records that I have play tested as unfortunately there are a few scammers out there who try to 'return' their own faulty copy.
