Music Is My Radar

Double album from 2000 and their last on the Food label. A great collection of witty songs. “Music Is My Radar” is worth a mention as it's a track not included on any previous release.

I found a comprehensive review at

Condition:-

The cover, including the “blur” printed PVC sleeve, is in excellent* condition.

The inner sleeves are similarly, excellent. All adorned by artwork by Julian Opie. The original is hanging, or at least stored, at the National Portrait Gallery in London. “Whoo-hoo” indeed.

The 2 discs are in excellent* condition. Under a bright light I can see the lightest line on side 3. The sort caused by withdrawal from the stiff card sleeve. Nothing more than that.

I've played this right through and cannot detect any impact on the sound quality. It's excellent througout. You would know that this is vinyl but I guess that is the sound you are seeking. (Otherwise get the CD which has a live disc bunged in with it. 10 tracks recorded at Wembley Arena, great for horse shows, hopeless for rock music. My opinion, owners of Wembley Arena may care to differ.)

Apologies for any “typos” and my Cavalier use of upper and lower case text.

I am sure you will be satisfied with your copy of “Best Of Blur”, but should there be any issues with incorrect listing or quality, please contact me via e-mail before leaving negative feedback. If you still feel the description to be misleading, I will be happy to organise a refund, not including postage and packing, on its safe return to me.

* As per Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide reproduced below.

Album will be send using a “Music Omax” cruciform mailer with a slab of cardboard included. I reckon this to be a step up from a mailer with a stiffener insert. The LPs will be placed outside the gatefold sleeve. (Between the gatefold sleeve and the cardboard slab.)

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:

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. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in 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 torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
