My Bloody Valentine were always loud but here they turned bass and drums to make ever more hypnotic floating soundscapes.
This was an EP I eagerly bought when it came out in April 1990.It was an EP that I never played much as i didn't have a record player at Uni at that time, and when Loveless came out that had more play.
The single is in Excellent condition. The sleeve is still crisp but time has just put a slight browning around the top edge. The sound quality still sounded fantastic to me. Being a 12" 45 you get all of the bass along with textures at the top end. 
FYI. I'm selling my record collection because I've found that I don't listen to them anymore. That, and I've been told to "declutter" starting with things I don't use :)
I have some solid record mailers and packaging to get this to you in the best possible condition. 
Record Grading
NB: I have tried to listen to all my records before selling them but time is not allowing me to do so. As a result I have been listening to the start and end of songs, the gaps between records, and then investigating any scuffs or scratches that I've seen to make sure this hasn't effected the records sound. As a result things may slip through, if I have made a mistake in the grading as a result of missing something then please let me know as I want these records to be loved as much as I loved them.
As a new seller I've looked a all the grading systems (and been baffled beyond belief) but have decided to adhere to this one as it seems relatively simple and makes some sense to me and it's one that mentions the playing experience (why do some systems fail to mention hardly anything about the sound!!!)
Near Mint (NM)   A nearly perfect record. The record  should show no obvious signs of wear. The record should have no more than the most  minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear, other signs of slight handling, no more that a couple of wispy hairline marks and a couple of spindle trails.  The cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar  defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same will be true of any  other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, an LP in near  mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed  the shrink wrap.           

Excellent (EX)    An excellent  record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous  owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may  have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences.  Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring  wear or discolouration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will  not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will  have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover  may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation  or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

Very Good (VG)   Many of the defects  found in a EX record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be  evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade,  but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable,  as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect  the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue)  attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will  not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them
