Hi, my name is Brian and I have been buying and selling vinyl on ebay for many years and enjoy enviable feedback from many succesful sales from very happy buyers. I will always give very honest and accurate descriptions with plenty of quality pictures. If for any reason you are not happy with the item you get, I will give a full refund including ALL postage so long as the item is returned in the condition it left me.

I do use the UK record collector grading scale with the odd + or - where justified.
I am very happy to answer any questions and send futher photographs if you wish.
I will only post valuable and rare albums insured and signed for.
I will post anywhere in the world insured and signed for.
The international and UK postal charge is only an estimation, actual costs will depend on destination and value. PLEASE wait for an invoice before paying. THANKYOU.

I use 2 card stiffeners + bubble wrap in a cruciform box with strengthened corners where needed.

SLEEVE........GATEFOLD.UN-LAMINATED.TEXTURED
The front has NO sticker tears, NO stickers, NO glue residue, NO repairs, No ring wear, NO unwanted writing and only minor surface rub and a couple of creases. The rear is in similar condition. The fabulous inner gatefold is as vibrant as the day it was printed, There are some small age related marks and very minor foxing to the white parts but there is NO Damage. There are NO seem splits and NO feathering to the opening edges, the top and bottom edges have almost NO shelf wear. The spine has some very light edge wear, there is minor wear the the very tips of the corners and 1 small stain (see close up picture). A solid EX.

INNER SLEEVE...original un-lined, with NO seem splits, some foxing and a catalogue number in the top corner. EX.

INSERTS/ POSTERS ETC....The lyric insert is present and is undamaged, just some light creases from handling. EX.

LABELS........Nice condition, but suffering from some small bloom spots (hard to see in the pictures) this is not uncommon with the pink scroll labels. Otherwise great. EX-

VINYL...........Original very 1st pressing. Very shiny deep black luster. Charisma seem notorious for bad pressings with lots of minor faults. This copy has a very strong deep and full sound. But there are occasionally minor tiny 'tics' but NO skips or jumps or loud pops. Very light hair line marks that cause no noise in the playback. There are 1 or 2 light wispy lines on the surface that cause no sound at all and cannot be felt. The vinyl plays through without any problems, just quality sound and the usual very quiet dust noise in the quietest parts(ALL vinyl has this). Rich full sound, top stereo separation and open sound stage. Very nice. EX-, EX-.


CONCLUSION......One of my most favourite albums of all time. Very 1st press, with very 1st stampers. Great album, and really good considering the poor pressings that Charisma produced at this time. In very collectable and complete condition.


                                        GOOD LUCK BIDDING, Brian.
