Description

This is a copy of the rare sleeve mis-print and a MUST for serious Minds collectors. The heart should be GOLD (see any other eBay listing), but due to a mis-print at the factory, the heart remained white on a few copies. A small number were mispressed and the sleeves missed their final, gold, print-run. This resulted in sleeves with white hearts, white spines and white blocks on the back of the covers where gold should've been.

Instead of rejecting these copies, Virgin sold them instead.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a mark running through part of one side - most particularly over 'Real Life' it was FULLY play tested (we played the whole album as I'm a life long fan) and it plays very well. There is very little crackle. The other side is in VG/Ex condition. The sleeve has some creasing.

I took these to my cousin - he has professional cleaning equipment (see pictures) and knows much more about records than me. More importantly he also owns a record player. Even more importantly, I am very close to converting him into a fan of the best live act in music history!!
I'm happy to answer any questions - I am not a professional record seller so if it gets too technical you may have to explain what info you want as if you're speaking to a five yeard old!
Extended thanks to my fellow 'Simpleton' and eBayer stuart **** for giving me the history of the record, specifically in relation to the rarity of the record.
