QUEEN GREATEST HITS - ELEKTRA JAPANESE 1981 P-6480E  STUNNING CONDITION Condition is "AS NEW ".  Incredible copy of QUEENS' 'GREATEST HITS' from 1981 pressed in Japan in an as new EXCELLENT condition.  simply a stunning copy...different track listing to the UK release including 'Under Pressure' with David Bowie and Japanese favourite 'Teo Torriatte'..... and there are ZERO clicks, ticks ,flickers or any interference ....brilliant copy This Japanese pressing and release is complete with Japanese language insert and lyric sheets in English and Japanese AND full colour info spread....complete with wraparound obi.  Some early Japanese pressings are as beefy as their US/Euro counterpart pressings and this album is exceptional in sound quality and .....it maybe my wishful ears but I feel the guitar and bass drum is stronger on this pressing and there is a crystal clarity on the higher end notes. Run ins are all silent..The sleeve ( typical Japanese sleeve which is hardier than the flimsier US/UK/ Euro sleeves ) is near perfect, spine is tight and full with almost zero damage and the vinyl itself plays beautifully ( only played once ) with no issues AT ALL ,  the production for import vinyl of that decade is superb  Highly likely that this is virgin vinyl as most Japanese records were pressed using high quality “virgin” vinyl that was manufactured exclusively for pressing records. These records are often extraordinarily quiet and have little or no surface noise, allowing the listener a better listening experience. In addition, English-language music titles were usually pressed in fairly small quantities in Japan, meaning all of the discs were likely pressed while the stampers were still fairly new.
Stored in vinyl sleeve only removed for photograph...vinyls are near Mint as is the sleeve....one for Queen completists  Dispatched with Ebay Packing only ....tried and tested ( no more 2nd class as they have been consistently poor in delivery and have taken far too long ) If bidding from Russia or Brazil please email first before bidding.....relisted with no reserve !
