You are bidding on an LP.  Specials, The – Singles, very good condition cover and excellent vinyl (see notes below).  The item will be well packaged in a record mailer with 2 stiffeners (the vinyl removed and placed in a white paper sleeve to prevent seam splits) and sent immediately upon payment.  First Class postage in the UK, 'Standard International' to other destinations (see below).  I have tried to be as honest as I can about its condition but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Please read all the descriptions and P&P charges before bidding.

This is the original 1st press of The Specials 'Singles' on the Chrysalis / 2 Tone label from 1991.  The album comes with a 'photo montage' inner sleeve.  The cover is still in very good condition with some creasing/scuffing.  The inner sleeve is in excellent condition with some light scuffing.  The vinyl has 1st press matrix numbers (see below).  The labels are in excellent condition.  The vinyl looks excellent, really bright and clean with some sleeve removal and light surface marks.  Playback is excellent with some light crackle/clicks in places.  This is a really nice well looked after copy.

I tend to be over critical of a records condition as it is not my intention to misrepresent what I am selling.  I want the buyer to feel what they have bought is as described although not everyones opinion of its condition will be the same as mine.

If you have any doubts or questions about this record, please ask me and I will try to be as helpful as I can.
