Artist : Elastica

Title : Elastica

Format : Vinyl LP (including flexi and 12 page booklet)

Deceptive Records (BLUFF 014LP) Limited Edition LP which includes the "Elasticatalogue" and flexi disc.

Numbered - this one is number 00084 !!

1st PRESSING....which has label mis-print......"Waking Up" is credited on side a and side b....missing out "Line Up" in the label tracklisting.

Vinyl visually inspected under strong light shows no problems at all. Vinyl is very clean and very shiny. No scratches. A few surface marks visible when you hold the record up to strong light, but these are very light. This LP has not been played a great deal over the years, and has been well looked after. Very nice condition.

Outer sleeve in very good condition. Still in original shrink wrap, which has been opened to remove the record inside. The shrink wrap has really helped to preserve the condition of the sleeve, but there are still a few areas of storage wear.....basically, top left corner of sleeve is a little bit crumpled (see pic) and there is a bit of wear down the opening edge of the sleeve too....but nothing at all serious, in my opinion. Back cover, under the shrink wrap, has a 2 inch crease (not particularly noticeable, to be honest...but, it's there all the same)

Front cover has a slight "wavy" effect, which might have been caused by overly tight shrink wrapping. Couple of light spine creases too. All in all, though.....outer cover looks really good. Just a few examples of general wear that has happened over the last 21 years (!!!!)

Will be posted to winning bidder in a protective PVC cover

Printed colour inner sleeve in very good condition too. The only thing that prevents me from grading this as excellent/near mint is the fact there's a few finger prints on the darker areas of the inner. Nothing too serious, and I'm being admittedly very fussy here, but just thought I'd mention it anyway.

Contains the limited edition 12 page booklet, which is in excellent condition. Just one corner on the front cover that is slightly creased, and the pages are starting to ever so slightly yellow with age. Really fine condition, though.

Flexi containing the bonus track "Cleopatra" included too. I can't vouch for playing condition, but it looks absolutely fine visually.

So, to sum up.....excellent condition vinyl that has not been played much at all. Outer sleeve in very good condition with just a few signs of general age and storage wear. Inner sleeve looks excellent except for a few light finger marks on the darker areas of the sleeve. 12 page booklet in great condition, and flexi looks good too.

Essential purchase for any Elastica fan out there !! Especially as the number is very low (00084) and it's a 1st press with label tracklisting error.
