Dispatched same working day that funds are cleared.
I've had some requests to go into more details about the condition, so here goes:
Single: dusty when I pulled it out but very little in the way of surface scratching. I ran it in my turntable anyway, played perfectly. (Actually, I'm not sure the single is officially part of the boxed set but I'll include it anyway). Cover really good, a couple of little creases at the edges and that's it.
Burn My Eye: Really minty looking, both cover and vinyl. Quite possibly never played. Some dust on the disc, which I don't have anything here that I can use to get rid of, but apart from that really good. Didn't bother putting this one on the turntable.
Radios Appear (O/S version): Slight tear in the spine where the disc has poked through, and some small creases, but apart from that, the cover is very good, really. The disc had a lot less in the way of surface scratching than I thought it did, not a lot at all, really. This would be good news, I imagine, as this must surely be the most sought after record in the box? Played perfectly. (I don't know if these makes any difference, but I have a pretty cheap, Chinese made turntable, but with a reasonably new needle.)
Living Eyes: Pretty minty cover. Two ultra tiny creases. Insert close to mint as well. (This is the first with a cardboard picture insert, the others have plastic). A couple of surface scratches on the disc but it played perfectly.
The First and the Last (New Race): More creases than the others in the cover and some waving of the paper. A couple of small wear marks. Cardboard and plastic insert in great condition. Disc has what seems to be fingerprints on it but still played perfectly. No surface scratches I could see.
Radios Appear (Local (?) Version): As close to mint as I've seen. I would wager this has never been played. Some dust on the disc, but that's it as far as I can see.
More Fun: Really minty cover. A couple of fingerprints, which I think I just put on it now. I'd say this has never been played, too.
I was looking at these under a really bright light, which may have been showing up the dust more than usual, I don't know.
I think I might have said in the original description that the letter from Tek was signed. I suppose that's technically true but it's one of those printed signatures, if you know what I mean. I don't know what they're called.
All up, I think closer inspection showed me that this is a lot better than I thought. Maybe I'll keep it. Just kidding.
The tear on the corner of the box in the photo is the worst of it, probably. There's some wear on the other corners and some storage marks, but it presents really well I think.
Hope that helps.
Payment within two days of auction's end please. Multiple payment options available.
