Artist: U2 Title: The Joshua Tree Label: Island Cat No: U26 Year: 1987 Country: UK
I am in the process of selling my Record Collection. This is the UK LP Pressing of `The Joshua Tree` by `U2`, this has the original 4 page foldout insert plus the original `Black Inner Sleeve` all in great condition - Matrix: Side 1 - U26 A-1U-1-1 Side 2 - U26 B-1U-1
Vinyl (EX++) visually under bright halogen lights looks almost Mint, I can only see just a couple of scuffs, no feelable scratches, soundwise played through great with no sticks or jumps, opening play on both sides features very quite introductions and there was some dust crackle that improved on play
Labels - Lovely Black Island labels - just a few visible spindle lines - hardly played
Sleeve (EX+) - Lovely matt finish Gatefold sleeve in great condition, clearly readable spine, minimal wear (Please see photos for complete overview)
Inserts - both the 4 page large booklet and the black inner are in Ex++ condition (See Photos)

I am in the process of selling lots of obscure & rare Records/CD`s, I will be posting regularly why not check them out!

I use professionally made packers with card stiffeners & record removed from album cover

I use lots of photos to show as accurately as possible what you are getting (also I dont cut the corners of the record sleeve off the picture!!)

Gradings: I use the standard UK gradings as set out in Record Collector Magazine below:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Near Mint,  EX+, VG+ etc are acceptable additions to help `fine tune` descriptions for the buyer
