HERE ARE THE DETAILS:

ARTIST - THE VERVE

SINGLES: 'URBAN HYMNS - THE VERVE SINGLES'

RELEASE YEAR: 1998

THIS IS A VERY RARE AND LIMITED VINYL PRESSING  - PRODUCED IN VERY SMALL QUANTITIES OF 5,000 UNITS GLOBALLY! WHILST AS SEPARATE SINGLES YOU WILL COME ACROSS THEM ON EBAY, THEY ARE RARE AS A COMPLETE SET. THEY WERE ORIGINALLY SOLD AS FOUR SEPARATE SINGLES, WITH THE SINGLE 'SONNET' COMING WITH THE BROWN MAILER. THE SET SOLD OUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WITHIN DAYS….

BARCODE: SONNET PLUS MAILER 7 24389 4936 2 / BITTER SWEET SYMPHONY 7 24389 43596 2 / LUCKY MAN 7 24389 47456 5 / DRUG'S DON'T WORK 7 24389 45566 3

CONDITION: PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURE, TAKEN WITH A 12MB HIGH QUALITY LENS AND THEY DO NOT LIE!! I HAVE BEEN SELLING ON EBAY ALL AROUND THE WORLD FOR TEN YEARS, AND ONLY GRADE USING 'RECORD COLLECTOR' STANDARDS! I HAVE DELIBERATELY TAKEN PICTURES IN DAYLIGHT OF THE OUTER COVERS, SO ALL BLEMISHES ARE APPARENT!! 

OUTER MAILER CONDITION: SOFT MATT CARD MAILER IS IN EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION, AND ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE OWNED OVER THE LAST EIGHTEEN YEARS. NO SPLITS, A MINOR TEAR IN THE REAR FLAP (AND I MEAN MINOR), AND MINOR STAINING AND GRUBBINESS!

THE RECORD COVERS: NONE HAVE ANY SPLITS OR TEARS, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THE SET HAS SPENT MOST OF IT'S LIFE IN THE OUTER MAILER! THERE ARE MINOR INDENTATIONS AND BLEMISHES ON EACH ONE, BUT THIS IS MINOR. I WOULD GRADE THEM AS SOLD EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION SLEEVES - NOT FINAL UPGRADE, BUT VERY RESPECTABLE COPIES! 

THE RECORDS: THE VISUALS ARE GREAT, WITH ALL COPIES HAVE NICE GLOSSY FINISHES, AND MINOR HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF VERY MINOR SCUFFS ACROSS ALL EIGHT SIDES, SO VERY TIDY AND A STRONG EXCELLENT VISUALLY. 

PLAY GRADE: THE RECORDS HAVE HAD MINOR PLAYS AT BEST, AND IN MY OPINION HAVE BEEN PLAYED TWO TO THREE TIMES. I HAVE NOT 'CLEANED' THROUGH PROFESSIONAL WASHING, AND THE RECORDS MAY BENEFIT FROM THIS AS THERE IS MODERATE STATIC IN THE RUN IN'S AND BETWEEN THE TRACKS. ALL TRACKS PLAYED PERFECTLY ON MY REGA RP6, WITH NO JUMPS, CLICKS OR POPS, BUT THERE IS MODERATE STATIC….I WILL CRITICALLY GRADE EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION. 

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT - NOT FINAL UPGRADE COPIES BUT A REALLY GOOD SET OF A VERY RARE SINGLES COLLECTION FROM THE CLASSIC 'URBAN HYMNS' ALBUM!!

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE - I HAVE BEEN SELLING ON EBAY ON VARIOUS ACCOUNTS SINCE 2003, AND SHIP ALL AROUND THE WORLD USING THE BEST PACKAGING!!
