Description

New Order, Movement Vinyl. Original 1981 MPO UK Factory Record.
Nice original 1st press Factory release of New Order's first LP, Movement from 1981.
Outer Sleeve - Nice enough looking thick blue card sleeve, only very light rubbing to the corners. All the edges and the spine show very little wear if any. No damage to note only a price removal mark (see images). This looks like a slight dakening of the blue cardboard, around where a price label was once applied. Note, the cover is not delaminated or scuffed here, it just has some darkening of the board. as common to this release and sleeve material (heavy weight blue board) the spine has faded / yellowed over time. All in all, a nice sturdy bright looking sleeve, not mint, but wearing its age well enough. No writing tears or splits etc. EX 
Inner Sleeve - Original and correct poly lined Factory Logo'd Inner. EX+
Vinyl - Visually looks virtually new. The vinyl is extremely glossy with vey little evidence of use, hardly any hairline marks etc. Plays with some light crackling on the lead in / out and between the tracks but does not interfere with the music and certainly no clicks, or jumps. I have an elliptical stylus fitted which sits deeper in the groves than a standard conical stylus, so can be prone to picking up more background noise from dirt present lower down in the groves so may improve to NM with a good clean . EX++
Dead Wax Info A side - FACT 50 A3X TOWNHOUSE MPO Dead Wax Info B side - FACT 50 B3 TOWNHOUSE MPO
According to Discogs this is Variant 2 MPO Pressing
Labels - Nice and clean and undamaged. No spindle marks to note. 
An excellent original copy with a nice sturdy bright looking sleeve. The record, I would describe as a great everyday player or even something to upgrade to, and may improve with cleaning an further playing. All in all  super addition to your record collection. The first New Order LP after the discontinuation of Joy Division, still has very much the feel of elements of Closer. Produced by Martin Hanett, so still retains to feeling of previous Joy Division releases with some great cathedralic sounding synths. Very much a transitional album alongside the supporting singles of Ceremony and Procession.
Please study the images for condition etc, paying attention to the corners, spine and opening side of the sleeve as this is a good indicator of the condition. 
I try to be honest as possible if a little conservative in my grading on a subject that is often completely down to subjective interpretation. with the grading to avoid disappointment. The condition of the record is difficult to photograph, but hopefully the sleeve images speak for themselves.
