U2
THE JOSHUA TREE
Original 1st press Vinyl LP, with black inner and gatefold poster insert, in fantastic condition!
Year of release - 1987
Made in UK
Island Records - U26
Matrix codes:
Side 1: U26 A-1U-1-2
Side 2: U26 B-2U-1-2-4
Condition:
Vinyl/Labels : Near Mint
Superb condition, the vinyl looks barely played and retains a lovely glossy sheen, with no marks - absolutely stunning! Just a little light spindle wear. Looks and sounds fantastic.
Gatefold Sleeve/Black Inner/Poster Insert : Ex/Ex/Ex+
Minimal storage/handling wear - one of the nicest sleeves I have come across of this LP, clean and crisp looking. All text, graphics and colours sharp and strong. The only slight flaw to mention is a very little light "foxing" on the inner gatefold. The inner and poster are both fine, just a very little light creasing to the black inner sleeve.
Important Information:
Postage & Packaging
Records are packaged safely using strong stiff cardboard and extra bubble wrap to ensure they arrive in the same condition as in my description. I also remove record from outer sleeve and original inner sleeves, to prevent seam splits. I am a record collector myself and understand the importance of safe packaging to ensure safe delivery.
:Please note:
Postage prices will be greatly reduced if buying more than one record. In fact, if UK buyers buy three LPs, the postage is the same price as for posting one LP. Overseas buyers can also expect a much reduced rate when combining postage.
Good luck and happy bidding!
Prompt payment is much appreciated. Please pay within 3 days of auction ending.
