HARVEST,REFLECTION,PINK ISLAND  ETC.) – YOU NAME IT IT’S ALL HERE….ONCE THEY ARE GONE THEY ARE GONE,THAT’S IT ..99% OF MY COLLECTION IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION,BOUGHT MANY OF THEM NEW OR VERY NEAR NEW, MANY OF THEM ARE ALSO UNPLAYED NEW –  GOOD LUCK TO ALL..

Arcadium: Breathe awhile MIDDLE EARTH MDLS 312 UK

Original  first pressing in beautiful condition...comes from the first and only owner who bought it new, CAREFULLY played it VERY FEW times and stored it away in a plastic sleeve with the record outside the sleeve…just to give you an idea about the condition : the inner sleeve is MINT…COMMONLY ADVERTISED BY SOME SELLERS AS „IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND” (??) – HERE IT IS…good luck finding one of these with a MINT cover and such a beautifully preserved record ...

cover:  original fully-laminated  cover superb clean  MINT,as NEW condition….backside is as WHITE as it can be WITHOUT even the SLIGHTEST signs of use at all…opening edges are PERFECT…nice,clean and sharp,no signs of use at all.... superb  clean and near perfect spine with all the text clearly visible .....no rips,tears,splits or any other damages....

record,visual:  superb clean jet-black and shiny,between  MINT- and EX++ with few VERY LIGHT and absolutely harmless hairlines caused by the inner sleeve ….it still retains it’s beautiful original sheen and it looks VERY NEAR NEW !!!

record,audio: RECORD PLAYS   GREAT ALL THE WAY WITH  CRYSTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT SOUND WITHOUT ANY SINGS OF GROOVEWEAR,WITH  GREAT DELIVERY AND  STEREO IMAGE… NO  LOUD POPS/CLICKS AT ALL…please note that as is common with all pressings of this album there is slight sound deterioration at the beginning of side 1 probably due to the master plate not being cleaned properly-this also gives rise to an occasional pop elsewhere. This is a minor pressing fault common to all the few copies in existence, as far as I know.

Otherwise the sound on this album is excellent

labels:   AS CLEAN AS IT COULD BE  without ANY  spindle hole marks … MDLS 302 A2 and MDLS 302 B2 matrix numbers,very first pressing..no tears,stamps or any other damages...
