Description

U2

The Joshua Tree

12” Vinyl Record LP

1987 Island UK

The True 1st Press

Complete Copy


Almost identical to U2 - The Joshua Tree, except the back cover of this version has only eight lines of "Thanks to:" text and does NOT have the "Special thanks..." text, nor does it have the asterisk after the song "Red Hill Mining Town" on the back cover.


The lack of this text and the lack of the asterisk after the song indicate that this is the earliest version of this release in a gatefold sleeve.


LP has gold "Joshua Tree" labels and is housed in plain black inner sleeve.


U26 printed on spine, back cover and labels.


Also on labels:

ALL TRACKS BLUE MOUNTAIN MUSIC LTD.

℗ 1987 Island Records Ltd.


Runouts indicate that side A was cut at The Exchange and that side B was cut at The Town House.

Thanks for looking - I’m downsizing my personal record collection and would like these to go to decent people who can listen to these and enjoy them like I have.


This is not one I think I’ve listened to much. I’ve literally played this once or twice and because it’s not essential for me it’s going. On a nice clean vinyl, sounds good and it’s a decent press.


All my records are sent RECORDED delivery with heavy mailers in proper secure condition. Once they’re out of my hands it’s down to postmen but I’ve 100% feedback. Don’t try and say you’ve not received it, because that’s why I send recorded.


I’ve researched the market as a guideline to list the starting prices of my records, based on recent sales and the going rates of what’s been sold.


You can pay the same postage for 2 records, add on £1 for packaging for 4 records and postage stays the same so grab some bargains!


All records have been play tested unless sealed and graded with a high spec, meticulous view. I buy my records and only really sell them if they’re not essential for me anymore so rarely part with them as I’m a picky listener.


Records are posted out tracked and insured (where applicable) to comply with eBay and PayPal seller protection policy.


All LPs will be mailed out in a strong cardboard LP mailing box and extra sheets of corrugated cardboard will be used where applicable. Once they’re out of my hands it’s down to postmen but I’ve 100% feedback.


My Vinyl Grading - nothing below these as I only tend to purchase new to VG only.


MINT


No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed.


NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there.


EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there.


VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches.


Finally: don’t be rude or send me messages saying albums don’t work on your setup. All these pressings have been play tested on a REGA setup through Edifier speakers to ensure a clean sold record.
