Description
I'm sadly letting go of my cherished original vinyl copy of Levitate by the mighty Fall (ARTFUL LP9).
This record has been carefully stored and looked after since purchase in 1997. It has been kept in a PVC album protector since day one and the sleeve itself is in superb condition with just a handful of tiny issues (see pictures). The bottom left corner is very slightly squashed causing about 3mm of creasing. There are a few barely visible hairline creases around the edges, and finally there is a tiny faint white circular blemish of around 2mn diameter on the cover which was a printing fault. None of these areas are noticeable unless looking closely, but I want to give you an honest description.
The record itself has been played plenty of times and has minor surface noise in keeping with an almost 18 year old record. There is some occasional minor crackle and one small pop, but no skips and no significant scratches and certainly nothing to detract from the overall sound of a classic album. Visually, both sides of the record are in very nice condition with no visible marks or scratches and both labels are perfect.
The record will be posted fully insured in proper vinyl packaging.
Payment within 48 hours please.
Good luck!
On 27-Mar-15 at 14:22:11 GMT, seller added the following information:I've had a couple of questions about this so can I please clarify that this is the genuine 1997 ORIGINAL Artful vinyl release, NOT the recent German BOOTLEG! They are easily distinguishable as the original has the release year 1997 printed in a very small typeface on the outer edge of the label, whereas the bootleg has the incorrect year 1987 printed significantly larger there. I've added a photo above to show the year on the label clearly. The bootleg also used the Levitate CD cover as a printing source rather than the original vinyl cover which has some subtle differences, the main one being that the grey wavy band is practically a solid, opaque grey on the original vinyl, while on the bootleg and the CD it is more translucent and shows the red background through much more.
