Fleetwood Mac - Rumours - Warner Brothers Burbank Made in USA, textured cover, with 350gsm card not paper insert. Very Good Play Quality, played right through (all my vinyl is) which was a joy. No jumps, catches, scratches. No REASONABLE offer refused if you want to persuade me to end the auction early, enabling you to get it quickly and avoid bidding escalation. Once the first bid is in,  this option ends.  Not my choice; it's automatic.

Condition? See close up photos which are deliberately zoomed in to show warts and all. As we don't accept returns unless it is damaged in transit or substantially not as described,  I will point out any flaws in the photos or description. We want you to be confident in bidding and happy with what you receive.

Record: some surface marks and scratches visible under bright light. Good shiny vinyl though and clear grooves. It plays well throughout. Not warped. Dead air between tracks, some of the quieter songs (eg Songbird) and start of each side is crackly. No skips, hops or jumps. An absolute MUST for any collector. If you own only one album from the late 70s, it should be this one.  I want this to go to a collector or fan.

Vinyl Matrix: OK here we go. I'm having problems matching this up with versions listed on Discogs: it features BURBANK on the labels, Made in USA so is definitely a US press. No mention of Winchester. Definitely 1977. No mention of Australia Matrix has MASTERED BY CAPITOL on both sides. Matrix SEEMS to read, in addition to that ...

Side 1 BSK-1-3010 JW10 FS7 #1

Side 2 BSK-2-3010 JW7 F44 - 8

but honestly? I'm sure you know how fiddly they are to read and - yes - I've got my glasses on. And the magnifiers. And the interrogation lights. PLEASE message me if you know this pressing!!

Labels: Intact, no tears, very little spindle wear.

Inner sleeve: Original, minimal creasing, no marks.

Insert: nice stiff card, clean, ripples. No scribbles.

Outer sleeve: Some wear a vinyl mark, some minor creases, no big marks or inscriptions and the spine is intact and fully legible. Some rubbing a v small tear to opening edge. NB this is the slightly textured cover.

Please ask any questions and I will happily send more photos (only allowed 12). Please judge for yourself as one person's 'good' is another's 'excellent' ... it's subjective... and we err on the side of UNDER exaggeration! We don't describe a record as Near Mint unless WE'VE opened it from sealed and played it once. We use the UK Record Collector Magazine Grading System https://recordcollectormag.com/advertise/listings-help and - I tell you now - I'm NOT going to get into quibbling arguments over whether it's VG+ (that's American anyway), particularly with dealers who want to buy it cheap and sell it on for a vastly inflated cost. Can you tell I've had some experience of this?!!

We're paranoid packers. We use bespoke record boxes, bubble wrap etc and reinforcers too. Basically we pack it to withstand even the most heartless delivery person. See our 100% positive feedback over 19 years of trading.  Some of our packaging, for which we don't charge, is ♻️ recycled and we will NOT accept returns because "outside packaging smelled odd" or was creased (it has happened,  believe me!) These are vintage, pre-loved items which have come down from a loft.

Please scroll down to see Seller's Other Items as we're always finding and listing lovely pre-loved items.  Everything is priced realistically to sell with not a reserve price in sight. Lots of vinyl, tech and games, books, toys, photographic equipment, collectables, china and glass: interesting vintage stuff. Of course I will combine postage if you are the winning bidder on more than one.

Thanks for reading this lengthy tome.  Happy Bidding 😊
