1st UK press (no barcode on sleeve)
1984
Music For Nations MFN27
This is a good copy overall, owned by me from new since 1984. This is the 1st UK pressing as evidenced by no barcode on the sleeve.
Cover is in good condition. No writing or other marks but there is a little shelf wear, some light scuffing on the corners and a 2-inch wear mark in the top seam. Overall it is still in pretty good shape after 41 years and I would be happy to have it in my collection, I just don’t listen to this heavier stuff any more. Spine is good with very clear print and overall the sleeve is in very good condition.
Printed inner lyric sleeve is included and is in good condition with no writing or marks. There are small seam splits to the bottom and side seams but no other rips or tears. A bit of ringwear is present but nice overall. (the record is kept in a new black inner sleeve to preserve the original printed inner).
The record itself is in nice, clean condition. Labels are clean with lovely vivid colour and no writing or rips. Vinyl has a nice, clean shine with a few small scuff marks and hairlines. Side 2 Track 4 has some sctratches in one area in the middle of the track (see photo) but this doesn't actually cause any jumping or skipping at all. Record has been play tested all the way through and still sounds great and punchy. A bit of crackling on the quieter bits but no jumps or skips.
