Queen : Thank God It's Christmas 12'' Vinyl Single

This is as close to 'as new' as you find, both the vinyl and the cover.  'Thank God It's Christmas' quite simply is Mint there is no other way to grade it.  I have never heard a better version and this is perhaps because it has never been played judging by the quality of the vinyl and the total lack of spindle wear.  The clarity and precision of the sound is immaculate and there is no static or crackle and obviously no clicks or pops.  The fade out has no 'background' either!  Wow what a stunning version!  'Man On The Prowl' then plays to exactly the same standard with no interference of any kind.  'Keep Passing The Open Windows' on S2 does not disappoint and again plays without fault.  This is a final upgrade archive 12'' for certain!  As I always do I listen to every second so as to provide a complete an honest grading.

Not surprisingly the vinyl is visually stunning and I have never seen better.  It has a beautiful mirror-like glossy sheen and has only a very small number of mega faint sleeve removal hairlines and there are no scratches.  There is no spindle wear and the labels are in perfect condition.  This is an immaculate looking vinyl and is in remarkable condition for 34 years old.  A time warp classic without doubt!

The glossy cover is very impressive and has very little shelf wear and what you can see is only very minimal.  There is just a little creasing on the top left of the front cover, a small mount of rubbing on the bottom edge and one small 'rub' area on the left edge.  In saying that it is still one of the 'cleanest' covers I have seen in a long time.
