THE CRANBERRIES - TO THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED - 1st PRESS - UK - MINT PLAY. Fold out poster sleeve original issue (not the reissue!)
THE CRANBERRIES - TO THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED - 1st PRESS - UK - MINT PLAY  Dolores O'Riordan Super hard to find yellow vinyl, massive poster sleeve edition of the classic To the Faithful Departed. Brilliant 2 sided colour poster in excellent condition, with release details on it. But also this yellow vinyl gem has not been played since I bought it in the 1990s. Released on the brilliant Island label. Really is one for the avid collector. Made even more of a gem by the fact that this is the only copy I've ever seen still in its original plastic sleeve with original Island label and still with pink stiff card inner sleeve, which is like the rest - in impeccable condition. A real treat for Cranberry collectors. 

As ever any queries do not hesitate to contact me.  Though also please read below - 

COMMENTS ::

QUESTIONS : As with all these LPS especially that i am selling - please do not hesitate to contact me with any specific questions, however trivial or specific. I will try and answer them as clearly, in detail and also as honestly as possible.

Condition. : I take a great deal of effort in describing these items in as much detail as possible. I am also as accurate as possible. Obviously I dont have the time or ability (or in some cases the desire!) to listen to these LPs. So grading is visual.

REFUNDS: With my LPs only however please be clear - I do not accept people contacting me after auctions to ask for partial refunds when i have tried to give as much detail as possible. Happy to refund in full upon return of item - return post paid by buyer (except where i am factually wrong obviously). This is not personal - just from experience I have had 2 people contact to say they want partial refund or will leave bad feedback! Thats just blackmail as well as horrible!!

I try to be as accurate as possible and use the below system as closely as possible -

GRADING SYSTEM:

M Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Ex Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Vg VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

G GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

F FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.

The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

P POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

B BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
