   For sale is Sparks The Number One Song In Heaven B/W The Number One Song In Heaven (Long Version), originally released in the United Kingdom in 1979 Virgin Records as 12" 45 RPM single on transparent red vinyl, then imported into the United States. In the dead wax between the labels and the end of the track is machine stamped a picture of a lyre, followed by the matrix numbers A-1/B-1, indicating that this record was mastered at Utopia Studios located in London, England before the first dstampers were used to press this limited edition .These are hallmarks of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after my collectors and music lovers for their superior sound quality. I bought this new when it originally came out, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put it into a MFSL archival inner sleeve, protecting the integrity of the vinyl. The vinyl is visually graded as Near Mint. The cover is graded as VG+ because of corner blunts, one of which has paper loss on the lower right hand corner and some faint ring wear. The spine has a dent with some color loss in the middle and at the corner from blunting. It's been played only on Audiophile equipment and still has a lot of life yet. This would make a great addition to a anyone's collection. I have other 12" 45 RPM singles, as well as albums of all different genres, listed in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing.    I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
