the Cure the top
THIS IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST UK 1ST PRESSES, AS IT HAS THE BLUE, GREEN AND WHITE LYRIC INNER, AND DOES NOT HAVE, 'ARUN' IN THE DEAD WAX RUN OFFS, AND IT PLAYS AMAZING !!!!        TIME FOR MR ROBERT SMITH AND OF COURSE, THE CURE, WHO WERE FORMED IN CRAWLEY WEST SUSSEX, ENGLAND IN 1978, AND THIS THEIR 5th ALBUM RELEASED ON APRIL 30th 1984, AND ANOTHER GEM FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!

BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED.

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS :: FIXS 9 A//2  V  420 R  'EYE SIDE ONE' :: FIXS 9 B//1  V  420 R  'GROSS SIDE TWO' .
WITH NO 'ARUN' ETCHED IN THE DEAD WAX !!!

ON THE FICTION LABEL  ::  FIXS 9 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL AND IN SOLID CONDITION, JUST SOME BITS OF LIGHT RUB ON THE SPINE EDGE, AND A BIT MORE TOWARDS THE TOP CORNER, AND A TINY RUB ON THE CORNERS, BUT NOTHING SERIOUS. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND THE ONLY THING OF NOTE IS THAT IT HAS, 18/5/1984 WRITTEN IN BIRO TOP RIGHT CORNER ON THE FRONT. A FEW TINY CREASE LINES ON THE EDGES, NOTHING MUCH, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, AND MOSTLY DUE TO THE WRITING, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ .

VINYL :: THE VINYL PLAYS FANTASTIC WITH NOTHING AT ALL ON THE AUDIO, SO A JOY TO LISTEN TO. VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, JUST SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A FEW TINY COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND NOTHING ELSE, AND AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL HOLDS ITS ORIGINAL SHINE, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE TO REPORT I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A VERY EASY :: NEAR MINT .   

LABELS :: AGAIN NO ISSUES  :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS BLUE/ GREEN AND WHITE LYRIC INNER :: WITH NO WRITING OR SPLITS :: EX .

I THINK THE ABOVE SAYS IT ALL, AND ALSO IT IS A BRILLIANT ALBUM !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
