THE RECORD HAS BEEN MACHINE CLEANED USING GERMAN ''L'ART DU SON'' RECORD CLEANING FLUID AND FOR THE RINSING STAGE ''DEMINERALISED DISTILLED WATER''. 
BUYING A RECORD IS A SOUND INVESTMENT AND THE L'ART DU SON BUILDS ON THAT. IT GIVES EVERY RECORD A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN DYNAMIC CONTRASTS. IMPROVED BASS RESPONSE. A VAST IMPROVEMENT IN OVERALL SOUNDSTAGE CLARITY AND INCREASED STAGE DEPTH AND SENSE OF MUSICAL EASE. THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN THE LP NOISE FLOOR RESULTING IN IMPROVED CLARITY AND INSTRUMENTAL DEFINITION. YOU WILL ALSO HAVE INCREASED LP LONGEVITY.
HERE IS A SUPERB VERY RARE NEW ZEALAND 1ST PRESSING OF ''DIRE STRAITS'' - DIRE STRAITS (SELF TITLED) DEBUT MASTERPIECE. A FAR SUPERIOR SOUNDING PRESSING TO THE AUSTRALIAN PRESSING AS SO MUCH FEWER WERE PRESSED. IT FEATURES THE BRILLIANT SONGS '' DOWN TO THE WATERRLINE'' ''WATER OF LOVE'' ''SETTING ME UP'' ''SIX BLADE KNIFE'' ''SOUTHBOUND AGAIN'' ''SULTANS OF SWING'' ''IN THE GALLERY'' AND ''WILD WEST END''. THERE JUST ISN'T A DUD SONG ON THIS INCREDIBLE RECORD. ALL KILLER WITH NO FILLER. AN ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE RECORD FOR ANY ''DIRE STRAITS'' FAN OR GUITAR LOVER.
I HAVE PLAYED THE RECORD RIGHT THROUGH ON MY ''REGA 3'' TURNTABLE AND IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS FANTASTIC. JUST LIKE A NEW RECORD BUT TAKEN FROM A MASTER TAPE ONLY DAYS OLD AND NOT A REISSUE TAKEN FROM A MASTER TAPE 43 YEARS OLD. A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE PRESSING. 
THE VINYL IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION WITH A NICE DEEP, DARK, MIRROR FINISH. (SEE PHOTOS). A SUPERB COPY.
I HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS RECORD COLLECTOR AND MUSIC LOVER FOR 45 YEARS. I AM EXTREMELY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE SOUND QUALITY OF EVERY RECORD I SELL AND TREAT EVERY RECORD WITH THE CARE AND RESPECT IT DESERVES.
YOUR RECORD WILL BE POSTED TO YOU IN A HEAVY DUTY CUSTOM MADE MAILER WITH BUBBLE WRAP ON THE TOP OF THE RECORD FOR GUARANTEED SAFE DELIVERY. IT WILL ALSO HAVE A NEW PLASTIC RECORD COVER AND HIGH QUALITY ''MOFI'' ANTI-STATIC SLEEVE.
I AM EXTREMELY PROUD OF THE WAY I PRESENT EVERY RECORD I SELL AND THEIR SUPERB SOUND QUALITY. PLEASE SEE MY EXCELLENT FEEDBACK AND BUY WITH COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND AND CONFIDENCE.
KINDEST REGARDS. PAUL
