THIS IS A VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1996 1ST AND ONLY EVER PRESSING MADE ON VINYL OF GEORGE MICHAELS ALBUM "OLDER"

I BOUGHT THIS LP ON ITS RELEASE ON 13/05/96 SINCE THEN I HAVE ONLY PLAYED IT AROUND SIX OR SO TIMES IN FACT ITS SPENT THE LAST TEN YEARS IN A CUPBOARD WITH OTHER ALBUMS I HARDLY PLAYED!

BY 1996 VINYL WAS VERY UNCOOL INDEED MANY ALBUMS WERE NOT PRESSED ON VINYL & THOSE THAT WERE HAD A VERY VERY LIMITED PRESSING PROB JUST A FEW HUNDRED!

THE VINYL PRESSING WAS DELEATED ONE WEEK LATER & IT HAS NOT BEEN REISSUED ON VINYL TO DATE..

THE DOMINANT FORMAT THEN WAS CDS & CASSETTES..

THE ALBUM SPENT AN AMAZING TOTAL OF 99 WEEKS ON THE UK ALBUM CHART! IT ALSO HOLDS A UK RECORD BY HAVING SIX TOP THREE SINGLES ON IT! THIS RECORD STILL STANDS TODAY!

FEATURED SINGLES ARE, JUSUS TO A CHILD, FASTLOVE, SPINNING THE WHEEL, OLDER, STARPEOPLE, YOU HAVE BEEN LOVED, & ALL MADE THE TOP THREE.

USING THE RRPG GUIDE TO CONDITION I WOULD DESCRIBE THE VINYLS CONDITION AS EX- VERY VERY LIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS NOTHING WHATSOEVER THAT YOU CAN FEEL , ABSOLUTLY NO JUMPS OR STICKS , VERY MINOR OCCAISIONAL SURFACE NOISE IN ALL A SUPERB COPY OF A 20 YEAR OLD ALBUM..

THE COVER IS CLEAN & VIRTUALLY UNMARKED IT HAS THE ORIGINAL STICKER ON THE TOP RIGHT , NO  SPLITS OR TEARS, INNER COVER ALMOST MINT NO SPLITS & HAS THE TRACK LYRICS ON ONE SIDE..

I TEST PLAYED THE LP BEFORE LISTENING ONCE & IT SOUNDS GREAT..

LP WILL BE WELL PACKED & I WILL PUT THE RECORD IN A PLAIN POLY LINED SLEEVE OUTSIDE ON TOP OF THE COVER & INNER COVER TO ELIMINATE THE RISK OF ANY SPLITS IN THE POSTAL SYSTEM.

DONT MISS THIS GREAT CHANCE TO GET THIS VERY RARE VINYL PRESSING & DONT BE FOOLED IF THERE ARE A FEW ON EBAY JUST NOW THIS LIMITED SUPPLY WILL SOON DRY UP & YOU COULD WAIT A LONG TIME TO GET A CHANCE TO GET ANOTHER..

MANY THANKS FOR LOOKING..
