Relix Reborn

U2 ‎– The Unforgettable Fire

Step right up, brave collector, for I offer thee a platter pressed in the fires of 1984, when the world was full of mullets, Cold War dread, and Bono’s poetic overreach. This be the first US pressing, conjured at the fabled Allied pressing plant, back when records were spun, not streamed.

The wax hath been tested, fear not—it spins truer than a monk’s vow, with no skips nor devilry detected. Comes with its original inner sleeve (OIS), adorned in arty mystique and 80s gravitas. The sonic winds within? Haunting, ethereal, and soaked in the kind of grandeur that only a band standing in castle ruins at sunset could muster.

A torch-lit pivot from battle cries to dreamscapes—The Unforgettable Fire marked U2’s ascent from street-preaching rebels to cathedral-sound mystics.

Key Features:

• 1st Pressing (US, 1984 – Allied Plant) – the original flame, not a later echo

• Includes Original Inner Sleeve with tracks, credits and band artwork

• Tested and plays well – no skips, no sorcery, just clean revolutions

Key TracKs:

• Pride (In the Name of Love) – A soaring anthem in tribute to Dr. King

• Bad – An emotional slow-burner that became a live legend

• The Unforgettable Fire – Dreamy, majestic, and painted in echoes

*Note: US issue, WITHOUT UK catalog number on labels.*

What Else I Offer

'Tis a fine selection of relics from days past that I offer--collectibles, games, music, and beyond that hark back to a time when craftsmanship and nostalgia reigned supreme. Each item, be it a cherished vinyl or a well-loved action figure, is inspected with the utmost care, and should it pass muster, 'tis made ready for a new home.

I treat each piece as a guardian of memories, ensuring that what once brought joy can do so once more. Whether it be the crackle of a record or the click of an old controller, thou art certain to find something worthy of thine admiration.

I am most welcome to inquire with any questions or details thou dost seek!

Grading System - Vinyls, CDs, Cassettes

As for the grading system, I do lean upon the wisdom of the ancient Goldmine Guide.

• Mint (M)
• Near Mint (NM or M-)
• Excellent (EX)
• Very Good Plus (VG+)
• Very Good (VG)
• Good Plus (G+)
• Good (G)

I do visually grade all items and, should I happen to spin a record or test a tape, thou shalt find it duly noted in the description.

*As for CD and cassette cases, I shan't assign them a formal grade--unless they be of particular rarity or distinction. Should any bear the marks of misfortune, such as cracks or notable blemishes, rest assured, I shall bring it to thy attention with all due haste.*

*Furthermore, each record is bestowed with a new, protective, anti-static outer and inner sleeve, shielding it from the cruel hands of time!*

Shipping and Returns

Ah, now for the finer details, lest ye be curious: Handling time? A mere 1-2 business days, unless fate decides to meddle with some emergency or grand affair.

In which case, two days shall suffice to ensure all is well and thine item is shipped forthwith.

Rest assured, we take great care in ensuring all treasures are properly packaged and safely shipped to thee. I do my utmost best to maintain and professionally clean all items before they embark on their journey.

Should any foul issue arise--though we pray it doth not--simply send word, and we shall resolve the matter with all haste, so peace may once again reign.

*A lot more shall be coming soon...*
