A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT purplegallinule
I have been a music lover and vinyl enthusiast since the early 1970s and over the past years have become an established and trusted eBay seller of a large and very wide range of vinyl records. The vast majority are authentic, original pressings featuring quality music from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, but occasionally more recent releases if they are of particular interest.
I have been away from selling for almost a year though during this time I have been very fortunate in buying several full record collections including some very rare albums in quite beautiful condition, including many superb Japanese pressings, the quality of which has to be seen and heard to be believed.
I am a GENUINE, INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE SELLER not a professional trader, although you can be 100% assured that I will strive hard to apply thoroughly professional standards to every aspect of our eBay dealings. In the unlikely event that we ever did run into any problems then please do not hesitate to contact me and you have my unequivocal guarantee that the matter will be resolved without delay. I am very privileged to have a loyal and highly valued band of returning customers and there is no satisfaction greater than when customers come back for more.
All the records which I sell have been very well cared for, though I will give an honest appraisal of their condition and will put up plenty of photos of the actual records for sale so you can see exactly what you are bidding on. I endeavour to highlight anything in the description which I myself would want to be made aware of before deciding to place a bid. I am very aware that, as a distance buyer, you are entrusting in the honesty of the item descriptions and I always aim to describe the records truthfully. Should you need further details on a particular record then I will happily provide extra photographs and detail. 
Every single record, barring new releases, be it a £5 or £500 album, goes through the same 4-stage deep cleaning process using either professionally constructed ultrasonic or wet vacuum systems, often both, with only record cleaning fluids of the finest quality and purity using techniques, materials and formulae tailored and developed from cleaning 1000s upon 1000s of albums over many years, so the vinyl is all immaculately clean and dust free and ready to play to its maximum potential. Every record is then inspected under the ultra-bright and highly revealing light of an LED inspection lamp and then the relevant visual results of this are noted in the descriptions.  
A note regarding the most important matter of all - the audio - as with all vinyl, even straight out of the cellophane, there can be light crackle or very light 'ticks/pops' during the quiet passages. I have listened carefully to all these records so I will include in the descriptions any aspects of the audio playback which needs to be highlighted and although highly subjective, the only measure by which I make an informed decision is that ultimately if I wouldn't be absolutely 100% happy to immediately slide the record in alongside my own personal treasured collection, then quite simply it will not be listed for sale on here.
All records will be supplied to you in a high quality clear outer wallet to protect the sleeve and a top quality poly-lined inner for the vinyl.

Kate Bush - 'The Kick Inside' - original 1979 Dutch pressing grey/silver vinyl album in excellent condition. The runout is etched with '5C-062-06603-A-35139/40--5-Y'.
The vinyl is in pretty immaculate condition and retains all of its original glossy sheen with only the very lightest of wispy superficial hairlines, if any at all,  visible in bright light and I have played this album through and playback is excellent. Although slightly notorious for the less-than-perfect sound reproduction of this very scarce collectable pressing of this record, I have played this masterpiece album right through this morning and barring a little crackle during the infrequent quiet passages, I found the playback to be very clean and detailed, though I'd imagine that this is always going to be more a 'Sunday best' copy, not necessarily your daily player.
The glossy sleeve carries an iconic image of the artist and is in excellent condition with just a little creasing to the spine and light wear commensurate with age and careful handling and presents really well in its brand new high quality clear protective outer jacket.
The standard EMI dated (1980, though I believe that this pressing was released in 1979) inner sleeve is included for completeness though the vinyl is now housed in a brand new high quality poly-lined inner sleeve for safekeeping. Use of these very softly lined inner sleeves is both much gentler on the vinyl and conserves the original. I also have had this vinyl previously housed in a good quality clear PVC display jacket, and that will also be included with the record.
Please take a look at the photos which were taken today and are of the actual record which is for sale here and give an accurate reflection of this vintage album's excellent all round condition.
All in all this is a very nicely preserved original collectable copy of Kate Bush's seminal 1978 masterpiece debut album pressed on great looking swirly grey/silver vinyl making this a very attractive artefact, fabulous for display or just a very nice special addition to anyone's rock record collection.
