Title : Echoes

Format : Vinyl LP

Output / DFA Records (2003 pressing) European version

Vinyl visually inspected under strong light shows no problems. Vinyl is very clean and very shiny. No scratches, and only the lightest of surface marks on both sides of the record. This LP has been played a few times, but not many. It has been well looked after and is in very, very nice condition.

On side A, track 3, however - there is a very slight vinyl imperfection. A "groove bump", which is a small imperfection in the vinyl which looks to have occurred at the vinyl cutting stage, and is not an area of damage or anything like that. This is not a scratch, or anything nasty, and the track should play without any issues...but, it's there and I thought it should be mentioned. I tried to get a photo of it, but it just wouldn't show up.

Outer sleeve in very good/borderline excellent condition. Just a few areas of general storage wear. Edge wear along top is non-existent. Edge wear along bottom...there is a 15mm crack starting to appear (please see pics above) but this has not gone through, and shouldn't get any worse if the sleeve is looked after. Spine has a couple of minor creases, which are more noticeable on the back cover (nothing serious, in my opinion) Very light corner wear on a couple of the corners, and some areas of light "rubbing" too....but again, nothing serious and just general shop/storage wear. When holding the front cover up to the light, there is evidence of a price sticker removal, top right corner. However, this has not lifted any of the artwork or anything like that...it's just a rectangular mark where you can see a sticker has been. All in all, a very good condition outer cover.

Printed inner cover with lyrics is in superb condition. Lyrics on one side, photos on the other. Looks hardly touched and really is excellent.

So, to sum up....excellent condition vinyl that has been played a few times, but not much. Very good condition outer sleeve with just some areas of light storage wear, and near mint inner sleeve

Superb all round copy of this LP from 2003 !!

INTERNATIONAL/OVERSEAS BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE : From now on, I'll only send items by International Tracked And Signed shipping. I've had a few friends who also sell on ebay telling me stories of how buyers have claimed to have not received their items when shipped standard airmail. To avoid this happening, I'm going for International Tracked & Signed shipping from this point onwards.

Sorry to have to do that, but I'm just concerned that this has happened quite a lot to people I know over the last few months. It's either some customers pulling a stunt, or they genuinely haven't received their items, in which case something's going wrong with the standard airmail shipping option from time to time.

Records will be posted first class in the UK, and airmail to anywhere else in the world (prices will vary depending on single or double LPs - see individual listings for costs) Records posted in good quality packaging with card stiffeners to ensure your items reach you in the same condition they were sent out in. Wherever possible, vinyl and inner sleeve will be removed from the outer sleeve and posted that way to reduce the risk of damaging the outer and inner sleeve of the record in transit.

Low starting price - good luck and happy bidding
