A 1994 Setanta SET LP13 UK 1st pressing. The matrix to side A is SET LP 13A2  with MPO also on run out wax. Side B is SET LP 13B1 also with MPO and FOR THE TIME BEING also on the run out wax. There are scratches to side B especially on track 4 A Drinking Song which has 3 feelable ones, but they look worse than they play. I have played both sides twice and the drinking song four times and there are two quick jumps and four rotational ticks in the last third of the song that last for about 7-9 seconds. There are 4 low rotational ticks on a instrumental part during the last 30 seconds of track 3  side B. Side A is visually near mint and plays perfect. All other songs on either side plays without any ticks, skips or anything and plays perfect. So having heard this album twice and enjoyed the multi talented musicianship of Neil Hannon the "blips" on B side are easily forgiven. I can only assume a previous owner had drank too many drinks when he/she decided to play the entertaining  A Drinking Song and was a bit to heavy with the needle! This is a very rare album considering it is from 1994 and was a joy to listen to. I offer a 14 day return service if not satisfied. Buyer pays return postage.
