ALICE COOPER

'BILLION DOLLAR BABIES' (K56013)

FIRST UK PRESS

B1/A2 STAMPERS

THIS IS THE FIRST UK PRESS OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM ON THE GREEN W-BROS LABEL. IT HAS BEEN IN MY OWN PRIVATE COLLECTION FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND HAS THE SOUGHT AFTER CARDS (STILL ATTACHED) AND THE BANK NOTE.

CONDITION

SLEEVE: EX ++

BRIGHT VIBRANT SLEEVE WITH NO TEARS OR RIPS. NO WRITING OR OTHER BLEMISHES. STILL HAS ALL THE 11 CARDS SECURELY ATTACHED. SPINE IS EASILY READABLE AND THE GATEFULD IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE FLAP THAT HOLDS THE BANK NOTE IN PLACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE SLEEVE IS ALSO EMBOSSED (THE EARLY ONES WERE) WITH THE PEARLS THAT SURROUND THE PICTURE STANDING OUT.

DISTRACTING FEATURES: VERY, VERY SLIGHT HINTS OF FEATHERING IN A COUPLE OF PLACES, BUT FAIRLY MINISCULE AND THE SPINE IS NOT PERFECTLY SQUARE. VERY MINOR ISSUES, BUT WORTH A MENTION.

DOLLAR NOTE: MINT

SUPERB. CAN'T FAULT IT

INNER SLEEVE: N/MINT

LOVELY CONDITION, BRIGHT AND VIBRANT, NO TEARS OR RIPS

RECORD/VINYL: EX/EX-

BRIGHT GREEN WARNER BROS LABEL AND THE VINYL ITSELF RETAINS LOVELY SHINE AND HAS CERTAINLY BEEN WELL-LOOKED AFTER. PLAYS THROUGH BEAUTIFULLY AND THE SOUND IS BRIGHT AND CRISP. IT HAS BEEN STORED IN A POLY-LINED SLEEVE SINCE I'VE OWNED IT. HAS THE SOUGHT AFTER B1/A2 STAMPERS.

DISTRACTING FEATURES:

THIS ALBUM CAME WITH A CARD INNER SLEEVE WHICH WAS NEVER GOING TO BE SYMPATHETIC TOWARDS THE VINYL RECORD ITSELF. AS A RESULT UNDER A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE NUMEROUS WISPY SLEEVE-EXTRACTION LINES. IT ALSO SHOWS SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED WITH SOME FEINT SPINDLE LINES ON THE LABELS. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A COPY OF THIS VINYL IN MINT CONDITION THAN GOOD LUCK, BECAUSE THE VERY NATURE OF THE INNER SLEEVE CAUSES LINES AND OTHER ISSUES.

OVERALL THIS IS A LOVELY COPY (I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE BETTER) THE RECORD HAS BEEN STORED IN A POLY-LINED SLEEVE SINCE I'VE OWNED IT. THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT IN A UPVC SLEEVE TO PROTECT IT. I THINK THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE SLEEVE SHOWS THAT IT HAS BEEN CARED FOR.
