TALK TALK

~ SPIRIT OF EDEN ~

(1988 PARLOPHONE RECORDS - SUPERB ORIGINAL UK VINYL LP!)

ON OFFER HERE IS A SUPERB ORIGINAL UK VINYL FIRST PRESSING OF THE FANTASTIC ALBUM SPIRIT OF EDEN BY TALK TALK ON THE PARLOPHONE LABEL.

THIS SUPERB LP IS HOUSED IN IT’S ORIGINAL PICTURE SLEEVE AND IS COMPLETE WITH IT’S PRINTED LYRIC INNER SLEEVE. 

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS PARLOPHONE PCSD 105

THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE PCSD 105 A-1-1-1 / PCSD 105 B-1-1-1

THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERB PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST A HINT OF SOME SLIGHT TANNING AND THERE ARE A FEW TINY INDENTATIONS. THE EDGES, SPINE AND CORNERS ARE ALL PERFECTLY NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

THE INNER SLEEVE 

THE ORIGINAL PRINTED INNER SLEEVE, WITH THE LYRICS ON ONE SIDE AND CREDITS ON THE OTHER, IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO FLAWS.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEAR TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE LISTENED CAREFULLY TO EVERY TRACK IN FULL OVER BOTH SIDES AND CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT EVERY TRACK. I DID NOTE SOME MINOR SURFACE NOISE DURING THE QUIET INTRO ON SIDE ONE AND OCCASIONALLY DURING OTHER QUIET MOMENTS. THIS ALBUM SOUNDED GREAT.

THE LABELS

THE SUPERB BURGUNDY & GOLD PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO MARKS. 

SIDE ONE

SIDE TWO

ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE ?ENVELOPE STYLE? MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORDS AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY-GRADED.
