The Best Of Blur 2xlp Vinyl Original Very Rare Foodlpd33 Near Mint 2000

The Best of Blur 2xLP Vinyl Original Very Rare FOODLPD33 Near Mint 2000 This is my copy of The Best of Blur.
A super rare original double LP released in October 2000.
It really is an absolute masterpiece and the original pressing is long sought after.
Everything is as it should be - see condition below .
Super rare from the time that forgot Vinyl even existed and only a thousand or so originals were ever made as Vinyl was a real afterthought at the turn of the century.
This pressing is excellent though, not many were made but the sound quality of this release was outstanding.
Pressed on very quiet 180g vinyl, if only current releases had this level of care and attention to detail.
Condition: It was bought unsealed - As near mint as possible.
I took the records out of the inners on day of purchase and they have resided in anti-scratch anti-static sleeves since then.
The inner sleeves were kept within the gatefold but not in the pockets so the pockets are not stretched out of shape in any way.
Last cleaned June 2015 and stored safely since.
Unlike many other copies the bespoke printed plastic sleeve is in perfect condition, no cuts, rips or tears of any kind.
Provenance: Bought From HMV Birmingham November 2000.
Sadly I am under orders to clear out some space in our house as we will be downsizing in a year or so.
So a lot of my record collection will have to go.
I will try to describe the vinyl / CDs accurately as there are several categories.
1 Boxed in original packaging from supplier.
I haven t even removed the tape or cracked open the mailer yet.
As good as it gets....
2 Sealed - records are as supplied.
The wrap has never been opened.
Next best thing to Boxed....
3 Not sealed but unplayed - Many manufacturers are now delivering their records unwrapped to cut down on plastic usage and in some cases my records / box sets have been signed and the wrap has been removed to sign the box / record.
4 Not sealed and played - The records have been played on my Rega system, currently a Rega RP10 with Apheta2 MC cartridge.
I have always looked after my records, I have cleaned every record that I have ever played on a decent record cleaner, the latest of which I have is the absolute top of the range 2.5K Hannl Aragon from Germany.
I have kept a record of when each vinyl was cleaned, so somewhere in the advert it will say something like Cleaned April 2016 if the record has been played recently.
EVERY opened and played record in my collection is now in either a Mobile Fidelity original master sleeve or Nagaoka 102 sleeve the Japanese equivalent which are static free / scratch free.
Some vinyl came with it s own static inner, but if it was a generic paper or card inner I put the record in a mobile fidelity sleeve instead.
The Vinyl is now safely stored next to the original inner.
I have also kept a record of where and when I bought a record for the last 6 years, so if I have the detail I will tell you the provenance of the vinyl you are buying.
If the vinyl or box set is a limited numbered edition I will also tell you what number it is if that number is viewable without breaking a seal.
To do things properly I will only be using quality packaging materials.
Smaller parcels of 1 to about 5 records and small box sets will use the original MusicMax Twist mailers with bubble wrap and corner protectors where possible or necessary.
Larger Box Sets or multiple record purchases that are too big for the MusicMax Twist mailers will use the Defenda Mailing box with Bubble wrap.
I am not a record selling business, I am dismantling my collection in my spare time but I will aim to get all purchases out as quickly as I can, as safely wrapped as possible with a decent courier.
Every item will be tracked and need to be signed for.
All items come from a smoke free home and have been stored as perfectly as possible.
Due to my main business requirements Cine Film we have full air conditioning at home, so the records will have had quite a pleasant time of it....
All sales are UK Only.
I will not ship overseas, I m sorry but it is just too painful.
Payment is by Paypal or if you prefer to pay by cash you are welcome to come and pick the item up in person.
If you have any questions please do ask and I will try to answer promptly and accurately.
