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.

ANYWAY, HERE WE HAVE A SWEET CLASSIC :

POLYDOR RECORDS : POLD 5001 (2302 077)

FIRST PRESS MATRIX NUMBERS (AS ON DISCOGS SITE) :

SIDE 1 : 2302077 A//1 UT 1 1 1
SIDE 2 : 2302077 B//1 UT 1 1 3

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

VINYL : JUST LIKE NEW, WITH A LOVELY SHEEN. Played carefully JUST TWICE FROM MEMORY when initially purchased then stored till now. There are some very light sleeve removals and one small mark on either side visible under a bright light, one of which does give some 5 light clicks at the very end of side 1 during the track fade out. VISUALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION.

SIDE 1 : The record does have the 5 clicks on the last track during the fade out as mentioned but the rest plays through superbly with VIRTUALLY NO CRACKLE/DUST POPS AT ALL. No crackle between tracks. Superbly clear loud cut first press sound, Love Is Like Oxygen sound fantastic! AUDIO EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION, SUPERB!

SIDE 2 : The record again plays through superbly, with VIRTUALLY 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, IT'S THAT GOOD - I HAD TO TURN THE VOLUME DOWN AS IT'S A FIRST PRESS LOUD CUT PRESSING.

RED POLYDOR LABELS : I can see NO spindle marks at all so carefully played just a couple of times from memory. No writing or scuffs. NEAR MINT CONDITION.

FIRST ISSUE FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE : Made by Howards Printers, (Slough) Ltd, England. JUST LIKE NEW, KEPT IN A POLYTHENE OUTER SLEEVE. No edge wear or corner wear. The wide 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. No ringwear/record impression on the cover when angled to the light. The sleeve even crackles when it's opened! Overall VIRTUALLY MINT CONDITION, SUPERB.

LYRIC/PICTURE INNER SLEEVE : LIKE NEW. No stains, no splits. NO DEFECTS. 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 NEAR MINT COPY, SOUNDS SUPERB. WITH NEAR MINT GATEFOLD SLEEVE AND INNER SLEEVE.
