Skinnyman - Council Estate Of Mind Low Life Records Label - Low 36 LP 2004 UK First and Only Pressing on Double Black Vinyl
This listing is for an incredibly rare vinyl pressing of the one of the greatest UK Hip Hop albums of all time, Council Estate of Mind by Skinnyman.  This was only pressed once and in limited numbers so very hard to get hold of, and with most hip hop records not many have been looked after like this one.  A must listen for all hip hop fans, this features deep social storytelling up there with the true greats of US hip hop.  Not to mention one of the great titles, a nod to the great Nas, NY State of Mind.
Please check out my other listings for other rarities and classics across various genres.
All of my records are play tested on a Technics SL-1200 with a Grado GF3 stylus which is quite revealing so any sound defects may be more exaggerated than on other more mainstream players.  Or conversely if you are a full on audiophile I will let you judge how your set up compares and how you envisage the sound will compare.
I don't currently have access to a cleaning machine so please forgive any dust or finger marks which are on any of my records - hopefully will be investing in one at some point.
Record Appearance - VG+ Very very close to NM I can only find one light scratch on Side 1, but nothing deep that affects play.  All sides have a nice glossy finish save some dust from storage.  Labels are in great condition with no damage or pen marks, just the expected spindle marks under a bright light.
Record Audio - VG+ Again very close to NM just some minor surface noise in between tracks which is more than likely from dust.  A simple clean should remove this, but I don't like to hand clean records I am selling.
Record Sleeve - VG+ Very nice condition just some very minor shelf wear on the corners but hidden by the light colour.  The sleeve is made from quite poor quality card and as such some ring wear is visible under a bright light but again is well hidden by the light colour.  Records come in plain white inner sleeves which are in good condition.  Also present is the original pull out featuring the credits from each track, which is a nice touch.
All questions answered and offers considered.  Thanks for looking and please follow me and check out my other listings as they appear.  I work full time and have 3 children so please forgive any delay in communication but should be within 24 hours.
