Annihilator - Alice In Hell & Never Neverland. Two Albums. Buyer gets both.
Jeff Waters' dedication to quality production and playing shines through here, and these two original pressings would serve him proud.
Both will need a clean, but nevertheless are still glossy and will clean up very well. I won't clean these as overall they play great as they are. I will leave it the buyer to choose his/her method. The more I handle them, the more chance of damage, so you get to care for them as you see fit.
Alice In Hell
Still in original cellophane, slit open to access the record. So cosmetically this is in as good a condition as it can be for a 30 year album. Very nearly NM, but it has a small cut-out from manufacture / distribution (common in those days), and has some very minor corner wear.
Inner sleeve is generally very very good, but is obviously used. It's very much in tact, but there is one very small edge split.
Side 1 - Plays great. A couple of pops to the run in, then the acoustic intro comes in beautifully crisp and clear, and the the record continues to play wonderfully. There are a few pops toward the end of the last track but generally Excellent.
Side 2 - Comes in a with a few more crackles, but cleans up very quickly. The music plays fine. No jumps, skips or bumps. There are a few pops during some of the quiet bits, but in my opinion the integrity of the music is not compromised. Just sounds like vinyl. You won't be disappointed.

Never Never Land
Sleeve in very good condition, with one scuff to the spine and some slight ghosting. Corners are very very good, open edge is pristine.
Inner sleeve is pristine. No exception.
Vinyl is generally in lovely condition. Nice glossy sheen, some surface marks if you look very closely, and one noticeable surface mark.
Side 1 - Very quiet run-in. The odd pop, but nothing at all to detract from the enjoyment of the music. Quiet bits are exceptionally quiet as a whole, and record plays through beautifully BUT there is one disappointing skip to track 4. This is very very brief, but it is there and it is noticeable.
Side 2 - Very quiet run-in. A few random very quiet pops, but quiet bits are quiet and the gentle passages are spot on. No issue whatsoever. I would probably grade this very close to excellent.
