OASIS - Definitely Maybe - 1994 Double Vinyl UK CRE LP169 Damont Pressing VG/VG.
This LP is from my personal collection. I've had this since the original release. It was only lightly played at the time (I had two copies because of "reasons"), has been rarely played since and is stored in poly sleeves. There is some surface noise as expected with age. This pressing is the best way to enjoy to this classic album; still sounds great and I got goosebumps re-listening to it.

I've graded this using the Discogs / Record Collector system. Specifically I'd class it at least VG/VG.

There is very minor surface noise especially between tracks, in general would class this as "slight", with one exception (see below). In terms of some specifics: There is a small scratch with repeated "tick" that starts about 1/3 to 1/2 the way through the fade out of B2 Colombia but stops immediately before the beginning of B3 Sad Song. You can see the scratch in the photos. It's a short "double" mark that looks worse than it sounds!
There is shelf wear and fading to the spine and around the edges (see photos) but otherwise the sleeve is in good condition. The printing on the inner gatefold isn't great. Like I say I had two copies of this at the time and the printing on this one was not as good as the other - it's especially noticeable on the lyrics in the inner gatefold.
Sibilance is noticeable in places, particularly on D3, but this is very likely my stylus/cartridge. I had a second copy of the same pressing that sounded the same.
Original plain white inner sleeves with cut corners are included, however the records themselves are stored in poly sleeves which are included in the sale.
