This first pressing plays with superb audio with barely any background.  The clarity and depth of the audio is so impressive and I heard (just about!) was a minor amount of very light static on a couple of tracks and a handful of minor statics.  There are no clicks or pops and whilst the vinyl has numerous hairlines they have no affect on the superb audio.  With this first pressing the rim text fully extends around the labels. 

The cover is in great condition with only very minimal creasing around the edges.  The spine text can also be seen on the top edge and the debossed Warner 'W' logo is on the back cover bottom right.  The printed inner sleeve is also in superb condition with barely any wear.

The audio on S1 is Mint(-) (T3 Near Mint-)

The audio on S2 is Mint(-) (T5 Near Mint)

The cover is Ex+

The printed inner is Near Mint

The labels are Ex+

Visual description

The vinyl is in very good condition and whilst it still has a glossy look it does have a fair amount of light hairlines.  However, they are superficial as they have no impact on the superb audio.  There are no scratches either.  The WB labels are unmarked apart from some spindle wear.

Play grading

'Radio Song' plays with real precision throughout with no interference of any kind.  The audio is so deep and rich and Mint is deserved.

The classic 'Losing My Religion' plays with stunning clarity, depth and warmth, it is faultless.  Once again the sonic quality is up there with the best I have ever heard and again grades as Mint

'Low' plays very clearly with only the lightest of background static every now and then during the quieter verses.  No ticks, clicks or pops though and I think Near Mint- is fair.

'Near Wild Heaven' plays with impeccable quality through every section.  I'd forgotten how good this track was!  Mint

'Endgame' is of the same high end standard with no intrusion on the audio.  Mint

-------------------------------------------------------------------

'Shiny Happy People' is as close to perfect as could be.  I think I noticed a couple of barely audible statics that is all. Mint-

'Belong' is of the same high standard with only a couple of mega quiet statics.  Mint-

'Half A World Away' plays so clearly with only a hint of light static at the end of the fade out.  Mint-

'Texarkana' is superb!  The audio is so strong and deep and there is zero intrusion, just a couple of very light statics.  Another high quality track.  Mint-

'Country Feedback' has a couple of light ticks on the intro and then plays with near perfect clarity from then on.  A handful of barely audible statics no more.  Near Mint

'Me In Honey' plays with genuine precision and no interference.  A Mint finish to this classic album.

Postage & Packaging

I will only send items items worldwide via tracked shipping.  This provides 'peace of mind' in case of loss or damage.  The shipping costs are shown below and combined shipping is always offered.  Any over-payment will always be refunded.

The Royal Mail only insure up to a value of £250 so if an item sells for more it may be wise to use a courier service (e.g. Parcelforce or DPD).  An extra insurance premium will be required but I will not know the exact amount until the final sale price is known.  Because of this I will sometimes have to estimate the cost and this will be shown in the listing.  Please wait for the invoice before making payment and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.  Many thanks.

All vinyls are packaged in strong over-sized custom made mailers with plenty of extra cardboard protection.  They are placed inside separate poly-lined inners outside the cover so as to avoid seam splits in transit and then placed inside a PVC sleeve to provide even more protection.  I pride myself on my high quality packaging as my feed confirms and if any customer has any specific requirements I am more than happy to help.

The mailers I use cost £1.00 each and I will use anything between 3-5 cardboard stiffeners which cost approx £0.18 each.  There is also the cost of the poly-lined inner and PVC sleeve to consider, it all adds up!  Not forgetting that eBay take 10% of the shipping fee also!!
