CONDITION / ADDITIONAL INFO
SLEEVE/DEALER SHEET. VG+/EX. Plain white card, in-house, generic LP sleeve. Soft corner creasing. Light ringwear to reverse. No seam splits, tears or writing. Plain (now off) white paper inner. Some discolouration and light foxing to right hand side. No seam splits etc. The album's "cover" comes in the form of a 12"x12", stiff card, Dealer Sheet. Dark blue print on a white background. In 27 years of trading this is the only one of these I have ever seen. It's still in great shape, virtually blemish-free and is (amazingly) still a strong, bright white. Card is blank on reverse. The whole package is held together by it's original (now slightly grubby) soft pvc outer sleeve.
RECORD. EX. Neatly hand written white labels in black ink. A lovely clean copy with light, sleeve removal hairlines only. Both looks and sounds great. Obviously, being a test pressing, it's one of the earliest copies ever pressed up as evidenced by it's 1U/1U matrix endings. A really great copy of this seminal post-punk masterpiece.
Delivery between 2 and 5 working days.
Non-UK payment by PayPal only.
