On offer here is an excellent A1/B2 first press of The Miracle.  I have listened to the LP in its entirety and the playback is stunning.  The vinyl has been very well looked after and there are no hairlines of any significance.  There is just faint marking over a small area at the start of each side but it has no affect on the sound whatsoever.  The cover is still encased in the original shrinkwrap but has been opened so as to play the vinyl.  It still covers practically all of the cover and has kept it in great condition.  

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 practically zero lead-in static on each side which testifies just how good this vinyl is.  It plays with wonderful clarity and as stated plays with almost no interference.  Perhaps just a little static in a couple of places but this is as near to Mint as you will find.  A great first press and would be a great addition to any quality collection.  

The iconic cover is in stunning condition.  As stated it is still encased in the original shrinkwrap which has kept the edges in superb shape.  The only wear to be seen is on the top right hand opening edge where there is a little rubbing.  The spine and edges are in superb condition as is the reverse side.  One of the best that I have seen.  Overall a stunning first press.

The lyric inner is superb and is 'as new'.

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.
