INNUENDO A2/B2

This first pressing of Innuendo is in stunning condition and has been very well looked over the last 25 years.  The audio plays to an extremely high standard.

Visual grading

Looking under a strong bright light I can detect a few very faint hairlines and one scuff mark on 'Innuendo' but they have no affect no the audio.  There are no scratches and absolute minimal spindle wear on the labels.

Play grading  

I have listened to every track and the audio is astounding.  The title track begins with almost zero lead in static and thereafter plays to the highest standard possible.  Even during the quiet 'Spanish guitar' section there is no background noise whatsoever.  The depth and quality of the audio here is so rare to find with this LP and continues on the remainder of the side except for a couple of faint clicks at the beginning of 'Headlong'.  With almost complete silence between tracks this side plays with near perfect audio and I am not one to over-grade as my feedback testifies.  Immaculate audio if ever I heard it and very difficult to find today on an original 1991 first pressing.

'All God's People' has light lead in static and then plays with wonderfully clear audio.  If I'm being brutally honest I could hear very light background static in a couple of places.  '...Days Of Our Lives' plays so clearly with no background noise, a stunning version.  The intro to 'Don't Try So Hard' does have a little crackle but remains an excellent listen.  'Bijou' has stunningly good audio and 'The Show Must Go On' ends the side with superbly strong audio and no interference.

This LP is a true archive copy if ever there was one, a final upgrade copy for sure.  It is so rare to find an A2/B2 pressing in such a clean condition and with a cover that matches it also.

Cover

This cover is without doubt the best I have seen and I am confident in grading it as Mint it is that good.  For a quarter of a century old it is in superlative condition.  These white covers are very often discoloured but this one has retained its 'whiteness' superbly well.  The edges and spine are in amazing condition with no shelf wear at all.  The corners also are in Mint condition which is such a rarity.  It is in stunning condition for 25 years old and could not be beaten on quality.  There is one tiny mark (if you can call it that) towards the top of the cover but was caused no doubt during manufacture.  What a cover!!

Lyric inner

The lyric inner is as new with no creasing at all.
