On offer here is a wonderful first press of The Miracle.  I have listened to the LP in its entirety and the audio is so clear it's hard to believe it is 26 years old.  There is no spindle wear and I suspect it has been played hardly at all.  The vinyl retains that glossy sheen as when first purchased and under a bright light I cannot detect any hairlines at all. 

There is only the slightest hint of crackle but it is barely audible and it would be very difficult to find a better first press than this.  There is a little lead-in static at the beginning of Side One but this soon disappears.  The side plays with great clarity, almost as good as new.  Side Two has no lead in static and plays much as Side One with absolute minimal background interference.  'Scandal' has a the slightest of crackle at the beginning but that is being very picky!  The whole side plays with very clear audio, a fantastic listen and as you would expect from such a quality vinyl it plays without any skips or jumps also.  A fabulous first press and would be a great addition to any quality collection.  

The iconic cover is very nearly in Mint condition.  It has minimal wear with only a few very minor creases around the edges but you do have to look very closely to see them.  The cover has no marks and has been barely handled.  The edges, corners and spine are in excellent shape and is without doubt one of the best I have seen.  The reverse side is also in superb shape as is the the lyric inner.

Play tested on my Technics SL-J110R turntable system.

I ONLY SEND ITEMS TO ITALY, RUSSIA AND SOUTH AMERICA "SIGNED FOR" AS TOO MANY ITEMS GO MISSING AND COSTS AN ADDITIONAL £6.00.  PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU AGREE WITH THIS.

I ALWAYS COMBINE POSTAGE COSTS IF MORE THAN ONE ITEM IS WON / DOUBLE LPs COUNT AS TWO RECORDS.

ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY PACKED IN STRONG MAILERS WITH CARDBOARD STIFFENERS.  THEY ARE PUT INTO A SEPARATE SLEEVE TO AVOID CUTTING THROUGH THE ORIGINAL.  THE COVER AND RECORD ARE THEN PLACED SEPARATELY INSIDE A PVC SLEEVE.
