Purchased by myself new on release in 1985 and has been part of my record collection since. Played at the time, then occasionally after, then stored.

Record has been cleaned with L'art du son and RCM. Fully play tested on high-end Rega system and this system is not forgiving in any way.

Vinyl VG. Good solid sounding audio with good dynamics. Very minimal background noise, but not distracting. Superficial surface marks apparent under light and possibly from original paper inner. Labels very clean.
Matrix / Runout (side A): townhouse HIP 24 A2 Matrix / Runout (side B): townhouse HIP 24 B2
Sleeve in G++ condition, glossy print, small circular area where sticker was removed. Small split on spine otherwise minimal wear.
Also comes with original insert merchandise mailer. Has been stored in a protective sleeve for years and re-sleeved for better protection.


I have graded in line with the record collector grading system with my own observations. If you have any specific questions, please do ask before bidding/purchase, we're always on hand to help.


Record Collector Grading System
Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.
Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
