Description
100% Authentic 2004 UK Original First Pressing Double LP (Virgin Records — V2989 / 7243 8 64373 1 0).
Up for grabs is a beautiful, incredibly scarce original UK first press of Welcome to the North by The Music. This cult-classic 2000s indie/dance-rock masterpiece was pressed in tiny quantities on vinyl and cut at the legendary Abbey Road Studios.
Matrix Details (The Absolute 1st Press Signature):
Side A: V2989 A-1 abbey rd 'i..i'
Side B: V2989 XXX B-1 (Features the famous un-fakeable original engineering stamp correction error)
Side C: V2989 C-1 abbey rd 'i..i'
Side D: V2989 D-1
Vinyl Condition (EX): The vinyl surfaces are pristine, retaining an absolute mirror-like high gloss. Side B features a unique, faint factory coloration streak (a cosmetic green press-line within the vinyl itself).
AUDIO PLAY-GRADE REPORT: Fully play-tested from start to finish on a high-end Linn LP12 setup. The record plays beautifully with massive, crisp dynamics. The green factory streak on Side B is entirely superficial and plays completely silent.
Sleeve Condition (VG+): Elegant gatefold sleeve is structurally excellent with crisp edges and a perfectly legible spine. The rear face shows a few minor, light indentation storage marks under direct light. A beautiful, clean copy.

To prevent seam-splitting during transit, both vinyl discs will be removed from the gatefold pocket and original inner sleeves prior to packing.
Shipped securely in a heavy-duty cardboard record mailer with internal protective stiffeners.
