Excellent plus EX condition jet black sheen vinyl - a few extremely light scuffs mainly paper scuffs and wispy hairlines on each side which are non-obvious, only really detectable with close inspection under a bright light, strictly surface only and superficial, and not impinging upon the glorious stereo audio quality. On side C there is a very small cluster of very, very light squiggly scuffs towards the end of that side - again only detectable with close inspection under a bright light and again purely superficial. Near perfect labels with just a couple of small and extremely faint spindle trails adjacent to the centre hole on each though on side C I can detect no spindle trails at all . Clearly, this is a record that has been sparingly played. Gorgeous original non-laminated near mint NM condition outer gatefold sleeve. All colours, photos, text and art work remain perfectly intact with firm unscuffed edges and a rigid spine with all spine text remaining pristine. Each corner remains a perfectly defined right angle with no rubbing whatsoever. The only blemish is a non-obvious 3cm score line towards the middle of the reverse side, otherwise the condition is as new The same can be said for the two inners...no seam splits or marks whatsoever...again, as new . Excellent plus EX stereo audio quality with no skips, jumps, repeats, sticks, interference, distortion, or repetitive clicking you might come across the odd random very low level background click - nothing really and any background crackle is at an absolute minimum and even then very occasional. Simply put, great tone with crystal clear stereo audio quality throughout and every track a great listen. As already mentioned the two original cardboard inner sleeves remain in perfect condition with all lyric and credit text and art work beautifully intact. I will ship each of the vinyls in a separate new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the originals.
A truly wonderful UK 1st press copy of this Oasis gem

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
