Original Hype Sticker: Perfectly preserved on the front shrink wrap. Vintage Dual Price Tags: Still affixed to the front shrink wrap, showcasing the historical retail journey—displays the Manufacturer's Suggested List Price of $8.98 alongside the actual retail discount store price of $8.49.
DETAILED CONDITION GRADING & AUDIOPHILE PLAY-TEST
VINYL: Near Mint (NM) Visual / Excellent (EX) AudioVisual: The vinyl is brilliant, glassy, and completely mirror-smooth. There are absolutely no visible scratches, audible paper scuffs, or hairlines.
Audio (Full Play-Test): Please read carefully. This record was completely play-tested on a high-fidelity system. Once the music kicks in on each side, the playback is 100% flawless, whisper-silent, and pristine. The audio quality of the music itself is a spectacular, dynamic true Near Mint.
Important Factory Flaw Note: The smooth, un-grooved factory run-in/lead-in sections on both Side 1 and Side 2 exhibit some audible surface noise (crackling/hiss) right before the volume raises on the first track of each side.
This is a known, unfixable factory pressing plant anomaly and not damage from playback or mishandling. As soon as "Gone Hollywood" (Side 1) and "Take the Long Way Home" (Side 2) fully begin, the noise completely disappears.
JACKET & INNER SLEEVE: Near Mint (NM)Jacket: The record jacket has been shielded by the shrink wrap since day one. The corners are sharp, the spine is completely legible and uncrushed, and there is zero ring wear or edge chafing.
Inner Sleeve: The original printed lyric inner sleeve is included and is in stunning Near Mint condition. No seam splits, no corner tears, and no heavy wrinkling.
MATRIX / RUNOUT IDENTIFIERS (True 1st Pressing)
Side 1: [Horn/Trumpet Symbol] P A&M SP3729 - M18 1 MR (in circle) Δ 24160 side-one [Opposite side features a faint circle stamped in the dead wax]
Side 2: T1 [Horn/Trumpet Symbol] NMSP3730 – T2SIDE2 [Opposite side features a stamped V or A mark]
SHIPPING & HANDLING
FREE SHIPPING: Fast, professional packaging and shipping are completely free of charge to the buyer (Domestic US only). No hidden handling fees.
Safe Packing: The vinyl record will be safely removed from both the outer jacket and the printed inner sleeve prior to packing. This prevents the heavy vinyl from sliding around and causing accidental seam splits during transit.
Premium Protection: Shipped securely inside a heavy-duty, dedicated cardboard record mailer with extra bubble wrap pads to ensure it arrives in the exact condition described.
Shipping Method: Sent via USPS Ground Advantage with full tracking numbers uploaded automatically to your eBay portal immediately upon dispatch.
Professional Seller Tip: When filling out eBay's required item specifics, make sure to set the Pre-owned Condition description to:"Visually stunning Near Mint copy in original shrink wrap with hype sticker and vintage price tags. Played only twice. Music plays pristine and flawless, though factory run-in grooves have typical pressing-plant surface noise before the first songs begin. Free shipping included! See description for full play-test and matrix details."
