Description

I am continuing to offer records from my life long collection due to lack of space. All records have been play tested & will be cleaned with a proper wet vacuum cleaner & where necessary treated with a Milty anti static gun, & popped into a new anti static sleeve.

Public Image Ltd: Public Image (First Issue)

YEAR : 1978

FORMAT : Vinyl

CAT NUMBER : V 2114

Record Label : Virgin Records

GRADE / VINYL : VG +

GRADE / SLEEVE : EX -

GENERAL CONDITION :

Because almost all records have some surface hairlines, even if they are new, depending on what kind of inner sleeve is used, I am going to assume that all my records will have them. They almost never affect the sound so as such are insignificant & not worth mentioning. The exceptions to this will be if there are more than normally present, or an old record has significantly less than usual.
Both labels are clean, with some light spindle lines. The record looks terrific, the B side has hardly a mark on it, just a couple of surface marks & 2 minor scratches, & plays perfectly. The A side is almost as good but does have a long scuff that goes all the way across the side, albeit broken into 3 parts. I don't think it is a scratch, & fortunately, although it looks a little ugly, the only noise it generates is a soft pop for around 11 revolutions during the end part of the last track, Annalisa. Most of these you can only hear when really concentrating, certainly if I were listening for pleasure I wouldn't have heard at least half of them. The other 3 tracks on the side are totally unaffected. Other than that the record is pretty much silent in terms of background & surface noise, & sound quality is fabulous, this album produces quite amazing bass. Plays with no jumps, loud pops or clicks, or crackles.
The glossy cover is really good, spine is intact & easily read, the corners are strong & it lays perfectly flat with no rippling. The colours used still really pop too, if you don't know the cover was conceived to look like a glossy magazine, hence the "First Issue" on the front. There is a small amount of edge wear in 1 or 2 places, but overall really good. Original inner is present & unmarked other than a light ring impression. There are no rips, tears, stains, writing, sticker marks or major creases.
Please check the pictures to understand my additional notes, I try to be as fair as possible & note anything bad, but I am not perfect so mistakes are possible. I will not list any record that in my opinion worse than VG+ or that I would not be happy to play on my sound system.
I am happy for buyers to collect, for those unable to do so I offer 1st class UK posting.
Please note I will not post overseas due to past problems.
