DIRE STRAITS On Every Street 1991 ORIGINAL DUTCH DMM LP

$

25

Very scarce orginal Dutch 1991 (QUALITY PRESSING WITH DMM TOWNHOUSE IN THE RUN OFF GROOVES, NOT A CHEAP REISSUE OR SOUTH AMERICAN PRESSING) vinyl was very scarce by this point on a lot of classic rock LP's, in fact there was NO UK PRESSING of this (or USA of course) this was the country that pressed them up for the UK & a few made it stateside (only second copy I've ever had, last one was mint & went for well over $50 on ebay a few years ago) this has the original custom lyric innersleeve & that DMM in the runoff grooves means "direct metal mastering" that audiophile collectors like a lot (Vertigo 510 160-1).

AMG REVIEW: (I think it's a lot better than this pesonally) It took Mark Knopfler more than six years to craft a follow-up to Dire Straits' international chart-topper, Brothers in Arms, but although On Every Street sold in the expected multi-millions worldwide on the back of the band's renown and a year-long tour, it was a disappointment. Knopfler remained a gifted guitar player with tastes in folk ("Iron Hand"), blues ("Fade to Black"), and rockabilly ("The Bug"), among other styles, but much of the album was low-key to the point of being background music. The group had long since dwindled to original members Knopfler and bassist John Illsley, plus a collection of semi-permanent sidemen who provided support but no real musical chemistry. This was not the comeback it should have been.

CONDITION: The record is VG+ to VG++ with lots of very light sleeve scuffs from the inner sleeve (no real scratches anywere or any noticable needlewear, should play quite well), cover is VG++ to excellent with light wear on the edges & surface overall (1" of the seam is just starting to split on the top edge middle) & then light hairline 1/2" or so creases on the edges. Innersleeve is excellent with just the number #1397 written very small on the top edge of the sleeve in blue pen.

THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT MY ITEM ON EBAY BUT PLEASE READ ALL INFO ABOVE & BELOW BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS, ABOUT 90% OF QUESTIONS I’M GETTING FROM EBAY CUSTOMERS ARE ALREADY ANSWERED EITHER ABOVE OR BELOW OR ON MY SHIPPING RATES PAGE, THANK YOU.

I DO NOT ACCEPT BEST OFFER & PRICES ARE FIRM ON EVERYTHING I SELL ON EBAY.

LP SHIPPING + PACKING & VARIOUS INFO:
I use real coated cardboard LP mailers when I ship vinyl & these are very durable. I usually take the records with the inner sleeves out of the covers (unless factory sealed of course) so they don't split the seams of the cover in shipment. Then I put them in a 2 or 3 mil plastic sleeve & then wrap a plastic bag or two around them to keep them from flopping around in the mailer, this method seems to work best since it adds air & almost works like bubble wrap (keeps the LP's usually under a pound & saves a lot on shipping rates worldwide compared to using cardboard inserts), breakage rate has been way less than 1 in 1000 using this method, if I added cardboard it also would make the weight of it more prone to the corners getting dented in transit if dropped. 10" records & 12" singles count as 1 LP for shipping, single laserdiscs count as 2 LP's for shipping (& I pack 2+ records differently & I have oversized boxes for larger packages...don't worry I've been sending out stuff about 5 days a week for over 20 years now & know exactly what I'm doing over here).

All records are BLACK VINYL unless noted & inserts/gatefold covers/posters/custom inner sleeves will be noted in the description if they are included plus promo & cutout marks stated if they are there also. I don't believe in hiding stuff & try to note most everything that should matter to buyers. All 12" vinyl on ebay is automatically listed as 33 1/3 rpm & 7" vinyl as 45 rpm (to save time on listing all this stuff) if you need to confirm speed on a specific item please ask & I can go check.

PAYMENT INFO/RULES:
Please contact me within 3 business days of the end of the auction to confirm you got my end of auction invoice or just pay directly through PayPal at the end of the auction. Payment is expected within 7 days after the auction ends on day 8 I'll send a non payment warning (which means you have 7 days left to make payment once you get the warning from ebay). Positive feedback will be left if you pay me in a timely manner.

SHIPPING & HANDLING RATES:
On this item are listed somewhere on this page, my detailed shipping rates are on a separate page (click on the shipping rates link) if you want to bunch up items to save shipping cost. My shipping rates are cheaper compared to most other full time sellers.

OTHER INFO:
I tend to run a lot of the same bands/type of music at the same time. Most cleared payments go out within 24 hours. I'm working by myself here so you are only communicating with me & not a bunch of people & I'm at my computer several times a day & rarely miss a day checking emails. So expect quality hands on service. Everything you see on auction & in my store is (physically) here with me (& no middleman shipping ever!).
Most my items I list go on auction first & then if they don't sell to my store within a few days after the auction ends (for usually more than my minimum bid so watch my auctions to get the best prices on most of the items). I try to keep 25-100 auctions going at all times there are well over 3000 items in my ebay store now. I very much welcome my foreign customers, a full 1/2 or more of all my ebay sales go overseas now so I've become quite used to dealing with overseas buyers.
