WELCOME TO MY AUCTION, TIME TO LIST SOME MORE EXCELLENT RECORDS SO KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR MY OTHER LISTINGS.

I HAVE BEEN A VINYL COLLECTOR SINCE 1970 AND HAVE ABOUT 3,000 ALBUMS, ALL ARE WELL LOOKED AFTER AND LOVINGLY PLAYED.
HOWEVER I'M NOW RUNNING OUT OF ROOM IN THE HOUSE SO TIME TO LIST SOME OF MY DUPLICATE COPIES OR ONES I RARELY PLAY. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN STORED IN RECORD BOXES SINCE PURCHASE, SOME IN POLYTHENE OUTER SLEEVES AND AWAY FROM HEAT AND SUNLIGHT.

ALL MY LISTED RECORDS ARE FULLY PLAY GRADED ON A HIGH END SYSTEM THROUGH HEADPHONES ON LOUD VOLUME AS WELL, SO PLEASE BID IN CONFIDENCE. I NEVER BUY RECORDS FROM EBAY ON VISUAL GRADINGS ALONE SO WHY SHOULD YOU! GRADED USING THE RECORD COLLECTORS GUIDE 2014.
I OFFER A FULL REFUND IF BY ANY CHANCE YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE PURCHASE BUT PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST BEFORE LEAVING NEGETIVE FEEDBACK. I ALWAYS LEAVE THE BUYER POSITIVE FEEDBACK BEFORE POSTING THE RECORD, PLEASE DO THE SAME FOR ME ONCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT SAFELY AND ARE HAPPY.

TRACK LISTING : See  the labels/sleeve pictures - what a superb album!

VINYL : WITH A LOVELY SHEEN. Played carefully just a few times when initially purchased then stored till now. There are just a few very light sleeve removals visible under a bright light which do not sound at all. VISUALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION.

SIDE 1 : The record plays through superbly with NO CRACKLE/DUST POPS AT ALL. Superbly clear loud cut first press sound, Freddie's finger clicks at the start of Killer Queen are as clear as a bell! SOUNDS FANTASTIC! AUDIO NEAR MINT CONDITION, SUPERB!

SIDE 2 : The record plays through superbly, again with NO CRACKLE/DUST POPS AT ALL. No crackle between tracks. Again with a clear loud cut first press sound. AUDIO NEAR MINT CONDITION, SUPERB!

OVERALL A TOP NEAR MINT AUDIO COPY, HARD TO FIND A BETTER ONE - I HAD TO TURN THE VOLUME DOWN AS IT'S A FIRST PRESS LOUD CUT PRESSING. SOUNDS FANTASTIC, IT'S THAT GOOD!

EMI LABELS : I can see JUST A COUPLE of spindle marks so carefully played just a couple of times from memory. No writing or scuffs. NEAR MINT CONDITION.

FIRST ISSUE LAMINATED NON GATEFOLD SLEEVE : LIKE NEW. KEPT IN A POLYTHENE OUTER SLEEVE. Virtually no edge wear or corner wear. The spine is totally crisp and legible, no bumps. No tears or knifing splits to the edges caused by the record's edge. No writing or stains, the opening edge has no feathering. Virtually no ringwear/record impression on the cover when angled to the light. Just a small sticker removal residue on the reverse bottom left corner which I have removed. Overall EXCELLENT PLUS TO NEAR MINT CONDITION, SUPERB.

ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER SLEEVE : ALMOST LIKE NEW. No stains, no splits. NO DEFECTS AT ALL. A SUPERB NEAR MINT CONDITION.

I HAVE ALSO CLEANED THE RECORD AND PLACED IT IN A BRAND NEW ANTI-STATIC POLYLINED INNER TO PROTECT THE VINYL.

SUMMARY : A SUPERB NEAR MINT TOP AUDIO COPY WITH AN EXCELLENT PLUS TO  NEAR MINT SLEEVE AND LYRIC INNER SLEEVE. A TOP COPY, HARD TO FIND A BETTER ONE!
