Near mint condition copy of this classic Oasis 1997 very first UK pressing. Gleaming, unmarked and barely played vinyl still giving off it's original jet black sheen; pristine labels - if I look very closely under a very bright light I can just about see a single 3-4mm very faint spindle trail on each of the side 3 and 4 labels, apart from that...nothing, completely unmarked! Gorgeous original wide spine gatefold sleeve with no edge scuffs or creases and just the hint of a very small compression mark at the top spine edge. The sleeve has a lovely, new "crisp" feel about it and has obviously been carefully stored since it's release some 25 years ago. Original cardboard inners with no seam splits, scuffs, or creasing - simply perfect, "as new" in fact! Comes with original and perfect condition HMV "21st August, 1997" certificate of purchase with release number 29177. Finally, and as you would expect, perfect stereo audio reproduction with no clicks or background crackle/interference, just wonderful tone and clarity throughout and every track a great listen. Clearly this record has been played only a handful of times.
  A real treat for any Oasis fan, worthy of gracing any serious vinyl collection.

I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.

Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.

 If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 54 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
