This record, as well as the rest listed, were acquired on my recent trip to the UK (specifically in Manchester). I found these records at antique stores, charity shops, record stores as well as buying small collections from people. I have records (mostly original pressing) by Prince, The Smiths, Joy Division, New Order, Talking Heads, Queen, U2, Grace Jones and many others. I also bought a small batch of 45s (The Smiths, Blondie, David Bowie) that I will be listing soon. Feel free to take a look at the rest of the listings on my page.

Press Info: 1977 UK Press (Reissue)
Vinyl Grade: VG++
Very clean and lovely sheen. I did catch some faint light hairlines on side 2 on the last track but they didn't affect play. Playback was brilliant
Cover Grade: VG+
Middle top wear has some slight wear. Some corner wear and opening wear. Overall looks great.
Inner Sleeve Condition: Looks great. Slight ring wear and crease lines along seams.
**All records will include a new inner sleeve and plastic outer sleeve

GRADING SCALE:
(Records are graded from sight)
SEALED / MINT - Record jacket is sealed. Disc is sold “as-is.”
NM - Super clean record with basically no imperfections. Appears unplayed or barely played at all. I’d use this rating extremely infrequently
EXC - Basically spotless visually or sounds extremely clean.
VG++ - Has extremely few light marks. Very clean
VG+ - Has some imperfections, such as hairlines or scuff, but looks clean and plays well
VG - Similar to VG+ but has more imperfections. Records VG and up will not typically have any scratches deep enough to be felt.
VG- - Fair amount of imperfections or scratches that may affect playability.
VG-- - Plethora of scratches throughout.
G - Imperfections and scratches throughout including scratches that cause playback issues and can be felt
*I usually will give either a quick listen to the record or possibly the whole thing. I will mention in the description above if I have.
