**  NEVER PLAYED - BRAND NEW MINT UNPLAYED VINYL ! **
*  This Album was NEVER PLAYED ! *  How do I know ? *  It came from the factory, and I've had this stored for over 25 years and NEVER PLAYED IT !
*  In fact, the vinyl was never removed from the inner sleeve ! *  I only pulled it out halfway to check the condition before listing this for sale. *  It was probably the first time that it has actually seen the light of day ! *  It's as you would expect.  Shiny and Mint, as it would have looked in 1993 ! *  I can't offer an opinion about the sound quality because I never played it, and I'm not going to.  This will remain UNPLAYED. *  It probably sounds like it was supposed to sound in 1993 ! *  The FIRST ever time a needle touches the grooves and the music kicks in will be IF and WHEN YOU PLAY IT.
*  This is the ORIGINAL UK / EUROPE PRESSING from 1993 *  It is not a " Re - Issue " or " Re-Pressing ".   *  BARCODE  -  5099747406416 *  UK CATALOGUE NUMBER  -  474064 1 *  GENUINE PHOTOGRAPH ( please excuse my shaky hands or any shadows or reflections )
*  The Vinyl is MINT *  The cover is NEAR MINT, it's damage free, but this is 25 years old and has been stored a long time. *  There are a number of minor cosmetic imperfections, some slight rubbing to one/two corners. *  Inside, the vinyl is in the original full colour printed inner sleeve.
*  As you can see in the genuine photograph of the " Barcode " area, there is a small sticker, about 1.5 cm by 2.5 cm. *  This does not mean it is " A Promo " or " Promotional ". *  It is the genuine Retail Stock, exactly as would have been sold in a " Record Shop * ". *  We all know how - some - artists signed rather " interesting " contracts with quite " creative " accounting practices ( breakages * in the CD age for example ).  So whilst this is the GENUINE RETAIL PRODUCT as would have been sold in a " Record Shop " this would be one to be given to journalists or DJs or perhaps Chart Return Retailers * as " A Sample " ...  It may well have turned up in one of the shops in Berwick Street without the sticker ... say no more. *  ( See " Last Shop Standing " by Graham Jones  / " Hit Men " by Federic Dannen for some colourful anecdotes ... ) *  So, it's the GENUINE ARTICLE.  Just has a little sticker on the back.  Which does not cover the barcode.  Convenient, that .... !
*  This is basically what you would buy if you went into a record shop in 1993 . *  In the UK in those days there was no such thing as " Factory Sealed ". *  Even Nintendo and Sega did not " Factory Seal " oops forgot " With A Tear Strip " their games in those days *  This VINYL is MINT, UNPLAYED, NEVER PLAYED. *  The outer sleeve has been touched by the human hand, same as it would have been in a " Record Shop ".
*  So make an offer and grab a super rare COLLECTORS ITEM ! *  This would make an AMAZING GIFT for the SUPER FAN ! *  As a rare and irreplaceable item, I will not take any chances ! *  I will pack this with GREAT care. *  I will wrap it in several layers of double wall cardboard to create a package over than an inch thick.  I won't simply send it in a " mailer.  It's too precious ! *  As a rare and irreplaceable item, I will send this via a premium insured tracked Royal Mail service
*  Currently, this is only offered for sale in The UK.
*  Thanks for reading !

GENERAL ITEM DESCRIPTIONS  &  GENERAL T&C’s
*  To save time, I add the below for reference, simply standard, the same as other eBay sellers and eBay rules, just there to save us both a little time.  *  Yes, all items are from my personal property, possessions and collections. *  So, yes, if I list an item, I have it “ In Hand “ and “ Ready To Ship “. *  Yes, generally, all items are GENUINE UK PRODUCTS, from a reputable UK source, with the appropriate UK Format, Size, Standard, Age Rating etcetera, similarly with the appropriate UK Barcode, Catalogue or Model Number etcetera. *  If it is otherwise, such as a rare import, I'll make a special note to make that clear. *  All items are ACCURATELY & EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED and/or illustrated. *  Terms of Sale are EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED in the listing.  Please don't request otherwise.  *  If a listing is an Auction, bid what you like.  ( Sorry, I won’t end early as not to disappoint other bidders ).  *  If a listing is Buy it Now, that’s the price to “ Buy It Now “.  *  If a listing is Best Offer, on that specific listing, send me a " Best Offer ". *  I'm not an expert, just an average person, so I don't always know about your specific home entertainment set up, if a certain actor makes an uncredited cameo, or if there is a special secret level in the game. *  Therefore, for more technical Google, Amazon or a Bricks & Mortar Store can often provide instant detailed product specific information, quicker than me !  ( Especially at 3 AM ... ! ) *  You'll know why you want to buy something and what you want to do with it. *  Please ensure you are 101% certain you actually want an item before bidding or confirming a purchase. *  My items have some sort of seal.  Either a MANUFACTURER/RETAILER SEAL, FACTORY CELLOPHANE or TAG:  or my personal SECURITY SEAL, where I seal the item inside a large clear polythene “ Inspection Bag “, allowing customers to examine without  opening.  Upon receipt of your item, please ensure you are 100% satisfied before removing any seals. *  I don’t engage in any irregular activity that breaks eBay rules or the law.

POSTAGE & PACKING
*  Upon each sale, I get email notification, and I’ll begin the sale & despatch process as soon as I can. *  I pack everything with care & quality to preserve the condition and protect from damage. *  I use Jiffy Bags, Cardboard Mailing Boxes and other protective materials.  I don't ship in thin envelopes or carrier bags.  I want you to receive in TipTop condition ! *  I use Royal Mail, with a delivery service appropriate for the item. *  I buy all my postage through eBay, so you get a shipping confirmation email ( with tracking number where relevant ).   *  For higher value items, please allow 1 – 3 Working Days for delivery. *  For lower value times, please allow 2 – 5 Working Days for delivery. *  For RARE, IRREPLACEABLE and HIGH VALUE items I use a premium service, either SPECIAL DELIVERY or SIGNED FOR, both INSURED, SIGNED FOR with a TRACKING NUMBER. *  For lower value items I generally use 2nd Class and obtain a CERTIFICATE OF POSTING. *  I generally DON'T sell internationally, except on rare occasions, so anything offered with “Free” shipping APPLIES TO THE UK ONLY

VALUABLE TIME POLICY :
*  I guarantee you a VERY PROFESSIONAL purchasing experience AND RELIABLE service. *  If you choose to buy from me, once you have confirmed and payed, leave the rest to me and don't worry !  It will be safely on your doormat before you know it. *  I won't knowingly or purposefully waste YOUR VALUABLE, PRECIOUS TIME. *  BUT, in the very rare and unlikely event that an issue accidentally does happen, don't panic, or think the worst !  Rest assured if you contact me I'll resolve it.  Just drop me a line. *  I'll always do my best to help with genuine questions ( although " Google " can often be quicker, especially during " Sleeping Hours " ). *  Unfortunately, in my experience, a small number of questions, requests and offers can be " Odd " or " Irregular " and those ones are often precursors to lengthy correspondence or post transaction problems.  Such as, " Hi I live in X country, in two months time I am passing through the UK as I have a 2 hour stopover at Heathrow, please can you cancel the auction and meet me at the arrivals gate at Heathrow on this date and time with it so I can look at it in person, and decide whether I actually want it or not ? "  OR  " Hi, can I play this Nintendo VideoGame Cartridge on my Breville Sandwich Toaster ? ".  Regrettably " Odd " questions often pre-empt problematic transactions, so unfortunately I simply add to my blocked list.  I just don't have the time to mess about.  Time is so valuable for all of us.  Thanks for understanding !
