LP ENTITLED 'CLOSER'

FACTORY RECORDS  1980  FACT XXV

FACT.25   STEREO

MATRIX no.'s A2/B2

'OLD BLUE?' ETCHED INTO DEAD WAX ON SIDE 1

A CLASSIC  LP FROM MY OWN COLLECTION AVAILABLE AT A GOOD 'BUY IT NOW' PRICE.

SLEEVE - SLEEVE IS IN REASONABLE ORDER OVERALL BUT THESE 'CREAM-WHITE' COLOUR SLEEVES DO NOT AGE AT ALL WELL UNLESS THEY'VE BEEN IN A PROTECTIVE BAG FROM NEW; THIS SLEEVE DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT RUBBING/AGEING AND SPECIFICALLY THERE ARE SOME VERY LOCALISED SMALL 'LIGHT BROWN' (LIQUID?) RUN/STAIN MARKS TO THE TOP OF THE SLEEVE TO BOTH THE FRONT AND THE BACK, see the pics. APART FROM THIS THE CORNERS ARE SHARP AND THE SPINE IS FULLY LEGIBLE. NO TEARS OR WRITING. SLEEVE GRADES AS VG+ simply cos of the stains.

VINYL - DISC RETAINS GLOSS AND THERE ARE VERY FEW SPINDLE MARKS TO THE LABELS. THERE ARE A FEW FINE SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS TO EACH SIDE BUT NAP AND DISC PLAYS GREAT. VINYL GRADES AS EX-

NOTE: 'Old Blue?' is etched in the dead wax to Side 1

LABELS - LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPINDLE MARKS AS STATED. NO WRITING. THERE ARE SOME MINOR TEAR MARKS AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE TO EACH LABEL BUT I EXPECT THIS IS A MANUF. DEFECT AS THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF BEING DISTORTED/UNDERSIZE IN ANY WAY, see pics.

INSERT - THIS IS THE EARLY INNER AND IS MADE OF THICK CARD. DESPITE BEING OF A MATCHING 'CREAM-WHITE' COLOUR TO THAT OF THE MAIN SLEEVE THIS INNER IS IN LOVELY CONDITION WITH SOME VERY MINOR RINGWEAR AND A SMALL CREASE TO THE TOP OF ONE SIDE ONLY. NO TEARS OR WRITING. INNER GRADES AS EX+
