Side 2: Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert / The Fletcher Memorial Home / Southampton Dock / The Final Cut / Not Now John / Two Suns In The Sunset

THE VINYL: The labels are clean and bright with only a couple of the lightest spindle traces and the vinyl surfaces shine like new with just a few marks which have no real audio consequence (one small mark produces just a coupe of clicks). This copy has clearly seen very little use. The record plays beautifully throughout to a very high standard with no prolonged scratches, groove-wear or distortion, just the occasional intermittent click/pop in keeping with most original presses - nothing ever intrusive. All in all, a great sounding copy graded an EXCELLENT to (+) for audio
THE SLEEVE: Again, little signs of wear - clean, sharp and unmarked with just a light crease to the spine corner and graded a similar, EXCELLENT to (+)
The white die-cut inner is clean and fresh with no splits to any of the edges

Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period.

Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers
