DIRE STRAITS
BROTHERS IN ARMS

UK 1985 VERTIGO PRESS WITH OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT AUDIO !!!!

HERE IS DIRE STRAITS AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF THE 1980's !!!! FORMED IN LONDON IN 1977, THIS IS THEIR 5th ALBUM, RELEASED ON 17th MAY 1985, AND EVERY TRACK IS BRILLIANT, AND ANOTHER GREAT ALBUM FROM MY TREASURED 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 1968 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  852120  1Y V 1  420  ::  852120 2Y V 1  420 . 

ON THE 1ST PRESS BLACK PHILIPS LABEL  ::  SBL 7860 .
COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH JUST SOME TINY SPOTS OF LIGHT RUB, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, NOTHING MUCH, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THERE ARE SOME SMALL CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND A SMALL FAINT SPOT STAIN ON THE BACK, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ .  
VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS REALLY WELL, WITH NO STATIC, CRACKLE, JUMPS, SKIPS, STICKS, OR CLICKS !!!! ALL I HEARD WAS.... ON SIDE 1 :: JUST A FEW FAINT TICKS AT THE VERY END OF THE LAST TRACK, AND TWO LIGHT POPS IN THE RUN OFFS . ON SIDE 2 :: JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK AT THE START OF TRACK 3. VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS REALLY NICE, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE AR QUITE A FEW HARMLESS, TOTALLY COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, WHICH JUST HAVE MORE OF A VISUAL EFFECT AND NOT AN AUDIO EFFECT, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX+ . 
LABELS :: BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN :: EX+ . 
ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER ::  NO SPLITS, OR WRITING, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER  :: EX . 
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS IT ACTUALLY SOUNDS BETTER THAN IT DID BACK IN THE DAY, WHAT A GREAT 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 ! 
TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
