"Winner of the 2001 Mercury Music Prize."

Up for auction is an original UK press of PJ Harvey's brilliant "Stories from the City,  Stories from the Sea". In the off handed chance you are reading this auction and are unfamiliar with this album I would want to pause, and with a smile, highly recommend that you give the album a listen when possible. Perhaps her finest-? It doesn't have to be because it is so great.

This record comes with: Outside Cover, Heavyweight import style inner sleeve, and a uniquely designed two sided heavyweight inset. All items have been taken care of and in VG+ condition. (VG+) or better.
I will describe each and please check out the pictures.

The record is VG+. Quiet lead ins. This record is vibrant and dimensional. Playback is warm and crisp. My compliments to UK vinyl and everyone who had a hand in making this record! Visually, when held in the right angle of light, the record does show a bit of light sleeve scuffing. Plays and sounds great!

--The Cover is VG+. Highly presentable. Solid and Stunning. Light wear and signs of handling are discreet. On close inspection, there are a few blemishes none of which overpower the art or distract from it:

--There's a few tiny creases on the front artwork between PJ and the record opening.

--A few more small creases from the spine front and back.

--Held in the right light there's an outline of haze at the top of the "ring" or arc. About 2 and a half inches.

--On the back there's a bit of rubbing over some of the track listing. Again, another blemish only seen in the right angle and right light. 

Please see pictures.

The Original Inner Sleeve is VG+. Printed on  heavyweight card stock. It's solid (no splits) with only light wear from handling. Four color pictures on both sides.

The Lyric/Pictures Insert is VG+. Printed on heavyweight card stock with light edge wear. Picture side of PJ recording in home style studio 2 Two Inch tape machines beautiful setup beautiful artist.

Please see pictures.

Thank you for understanding that I can't combine shipping costs with this record. It will be sent Priority and will be fully insured.
