RARE MICHAEL JACKSON:History - Past, Present And Future Book 1 ORG '95 LTD ED. M Welcome to my listings.

Before you place a bid would you / could you take the time to please read my listing including the Terms & Conditions. You will find them below at the bottom of my listing and unless I have
mis-written them I believe they are quite clear. If they are not or you wish to clarify anything then please message/email me before bidding.

If you just want to skip to the details about this item, see the descriptive text below and check out the photos in the listing by enlarging and scrolling through.

All items are packed and dispatched in heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements. I use heavy duty packaging tape. I always separate the LP from the sleeve and any inner sleeves that are part of the LP. This stops any damage to the item while in transit.

MICHAEL JACKSON: History - Past, Present And Future Book 1 Rare and now very hard to find Original Fantastic 1995 Dutch Limited Edition 30-track triple vinyl compilation LP featuring over 150 minutes of music, comprising a collection of digitally remastered hits alongside fifteen new recordings including Scream with Janet and Childhood (Theme From 'Free Willy 2'). Housed in a hype-stickered wide spined gatefold picture comes complete with matching picture inners, 52-page full size booklet. EPC474709-1

NOT PLAY GRADED: VISUAL GRADING ONLY
Please note that this is a used item and there is always isolated static, ticks, light pops that maybe or can be heard, even in the quieter places during the play of any vinyl. There will be elements of surface noise. More noise than others. Please remember that this is an original 48 year old vinyl. A habit of cleaning the vinyl with a carbon brush before each play will reduce any static. If possible you should have the LP professionally cleaned periodically.

I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable/system - Cartridge and stylus profile, tracking weight, Arm VTA, arm type all go to make a difference to the sound of an LP.

THE COVER: The glossy gatefold cover shows light wear to the top or bottom edges or spine. All 4 corners have just light with very light creasing wear and are free from any age related rounding. The spine has very light wear to the bottom corner and 2 very small marks to the folds, the spines text is still bold and clearly visible, there is just the lightest of creasing to the spine. The surface just has the lightest of storage scuffing only. The opening edges are still crisp with no damage or fethering. There are no signs of any other forms of damage. I have graded the cover in EXCELLENT+ condition.

THE BACK COVER: The back again reflects the front with the surface having just the lightest of storage scuffing , otherwise there are no other defects. I have graded the back cover again in EXCELLENT+ condition.

THE INNER SLEEVE: All 3 picture inserts are graded in MINT condition with no splits, creasing or any other signs of damage.

THE BOOKLET: The 52 page booklet has been graded in MINT condition with no splits, creasing or any other signs of damage.

THE VINYL: All sides of this vinyl LP show a still new deep beautiful shine with no dulling. There are no deep scratches to any side of this triple LP. There are NO hairline marks to any side of this triple LP when held under a strong light. I have graded all 3 records in MINT condition.

All 3 records have been stored in anti-static inners since the day of purchased.

This is a return and the LP will simply get sent back to you as Returned Goods are not charged for by UK Customs
Should you wish to return a LP as set out in Ebay policies the buyer is responsible for return postage, this means I pay one way, you the buyer will have to pay the other way.
