PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A 7 DAY AUCTION, AND NOT MY NORMAL 10 DAY AUCTION, AS I AM GOING ON HOLIDAYS FROM 3rd AUGUST, TO 10th AUGUST FOR ONE WEEK, SO NOW THE AUCTION WILL FINISH BEFORE I GO AWAY, SO I CAN SHIP YOUR LP BEFORE I GO AWAY, UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING AT MORE LP's FOR COMBINED SHIPPING, THANK YOU !!!!
TIME FOR SOME MORE U2, AND THIS THEIR AMAZING FIRST AND DEBUT ALBUM, RELEASED ON 20th OCTOBER 1980. FORMED IN DUBLIN, IRELAND IN 1976, THEY ARE ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC BANDS OF THE 70's, AND EVEN UP TO TODAY !!!! THIS COMES FULLY COMPLETE AND PLAYS BEAUTIFUL, AND IS ANOTHER GEM FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1981 UK 2nd PRESS :: ILPS 9646 A-2U 'JONZ' :: ILPS 9646 B-1U 'SOUND CLINIC' .
ON THE ISLAND LABEL :: ILPS 9646 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND A FEW TINY CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THERE IS A SMALL MARK ON THE OPENING EDGE SIDE, AND NOTHING MUCH AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO'S. THERE IS A BIT OF WRITING TOP LEFT CORNER ON THE BACK, PLEASE SEE PHOTO, THANKYOU. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE :: VG+/EX- .
VINYLS :: THE VINYL PLAYS VERY WELL WITH NO NASTY ISSUES, SO STILL A JOY TO LISTEN TO. ALL I HEARD WAS.... ON SIDE 1, A BIT OF FAINT STATIC ON THE RUN IN, AND A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1. THERE IS A LIGHT POP AND FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2. A FAINT TICK NOT ON THE AUDIO, BUT BETWEEN TRACK 2 AND TRACK 3, AND A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 4. ON SIDE 2, JUST TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 1, AND A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2, AND ALSO A FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 3. THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE SO STILL GREAT TO LISTEN TO !!!! VISUALLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE SOME FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, A FEW FAINT COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND FIVE TINY TOTALLY HARMLESS THIN SCUFF LINES ON SIDE 2, WHICH JUST HAVE MORE OF A VISUAL EFFECT, RATHER THAN AN AUDIO EFFECT. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I THINK A FAIR GRADE FOR THE AUDIO :: EX/EX- . BUT NEARER TO EX !!!!
LABELS :: AGAIN NO ISSUES, AND IN LOVELY CONDITION :: EX/EX+ .
ORIGINAL PHOTO LYRIC INNERS :: THIS HAS ROUNDED CORNERS, AND WITH NO SPLITS, OR WRITING, AND WITH DIE CUT OPENING EDGE, AND WITH JUST SOME TINY FAINT AGEING SPOT STAINS ON THE LYRIC SIDE, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL :: VG+ .
