Argentina 1st Press
STUPIDLY RARE!!!!
Pressed on Vertigo Swirl! Very few countries pressed this on swirl, Columbia, Singapore, Austria, Venezuela, Uruguay and Israel did and they're also very rare (France, Germany, Australia and Brazil used Spaceship labels)
Vinyl: EX, looks great, very faint hairlines only
Sleeve: EX, looks great, some touch ups to the edges visible
Inner sleeve: plain
Audio: EX+, virtually no background crackle, absolutely superb audio! Even 'Fluff' (or 'Mullido' in Spanish!) sounds amazingly clean with virtually no crackle AT ALL, just a couple of faint ticks!!! The odd pop at start of side 2 and some faint crackle in "Who Are You" ("Quien eres") but overall a fabulous sounding copy! Easily as good a pressing as the original UK 1st presses, great tone and volume.
THIS WILL BE SUPER WELL PACKED, AND SHIPPED ONLY WITH INSURANCE AND SIGNED FOR TRACKED SHIPPING.
ANYTHING OVER £50 MUST BE SENT SPECIAL DELIVERY TO ALLOW FOR COMPENSATION FOR FULL VALUE.

So for example, £15 signed for international shipping actually costs me money! £10.75 + £2.50 insurance + £1.50 eBay fee + £1.00 proper record mailer and label costs = £15.75... all records are removed from outer sleeve, placed in a replacement inner sleeve if necessary, and then well packed in proper cruciform strong record mailers with extra cardboard stiffener,
