Here's a 1st US PRESSING of XTC's classic "English Settlement". This has a different rearranged track list than the UK version, which was also 2 LPs (this is one). Tracks are: On Side One: "Runaways", "Ball and Chain", "Senses Working Overtime", "Jason and the Argonauts", and "Snowman". Side Two has "Melt The Guns", "No Thugs In The House", "It's Nearly Africa", "English Roundabout", and "All Of A Sudden (It's Too Late)".  The cover is in good shape, but does have a bit of edge wear and mildly bumped corners, a very clean and legible spine, NO splitting, and there is the name LENNY on the front in fairly small lightly printed letters written in ink. There is also a very small amount of sticker residue front top right. The vinyl, wrapped in the original LYRIC SLEEVE is very clean and shiny but has two VERY short marks at the beginning of each side that does not cause issues or skipping. NO scratches or skips when we listened to it. Great fun album, as XTC albums are, and a different take from the longer rearranged UK version. Thanks for looking :)                                                                     WE AIM TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS!     We are using best healthy practices in all aspects of our store amidst all this craziness now, and we use NEW mailers, NEW inserts, New record sleeves and NEW clear plastic covers. Our shipping is A+. Thanks for looking in our store. If you haven't shopped with us before, check out our feedback to see you can buy here with confidence. It is always important to READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION and VIEW ALL PHOTOS. We've been selling on eBay for awhile now, having stopped for a slew of surgeries and now retired from employment because of it. So, we're opening up a record store where it will be easier for me to stay active with my issues, and all proceeds from sales of our (mostly rare / scarce) vinyl goes towards making our store a reality (building records racks now, and our CD racks are full!). I post here as often as I can, please message if you're looking for something in particular. WE MAIL UNTO OTHERS AS WE WOULD HAVE THEM MAIL TO US! This will be by Media Mail, which is a bit slower but allows us to ship all US vinyl purchases FREE! We use official LP mailers with the record outside the cover, and in clean white sleeves separately from any photo inner sleeves. All vinyl is cleaned with an enzyme spray then finished with a SpinClean Machine. With sealed vinyl, please understand that we will only accept returns if the LP is still sealed, which is for our financial protection as well as yours. To all our regulars, its good to be back and we look forward to hearing from you. If you ever see wrong information in our listings, let us know, we love the trivia and always strive to be accurate. Thanks for looking, and good luck on your search for amazing music.                                                                                      Greg and Michelle Mitchell
