Welcome to my listings.
To all overseas bidders Please read before bidding. I will not falsify any information when sending custom declarations ( So please do not message me and ask that I do so ). I will indicate the true value of any item that has been sold. Buyers are responsible for all Customs Duty/Import Charges in their own country. The responsibility is not mine. No exceptions will be made.
All items are packed and dispatched in heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements. I use heavy duty packaging tape. I always separate the LP from the sleeve and any inner sleeves that are part of the LP. This stops any damage to the item while in transit.

THE THE Gravitate To Me Rare and becoming increasingly harder to find genuine Original 1989 UK Limited Edition 2-track 12" vinyl single including the Dub Mix plus I've Been Waitin' For Tomorrow (All Of My Life). Housed in a two-piece hype-stickered outer box and comes complete with the four 7.5" x 9" black & white photographs of the individual band members and 'The The' logo stencil. EMUB9

PLAY GRADED: VISUAL GRADING

Equipment used to test this LP was my Townshend Rock II turntable positioned on a Townshend Seismic Vibration Isolation Platform, with a Linn Ittok modified arm and Audio Technica VM95ML Shibata modified cartridge feeding through a Trilogy 906 phono stage positioned on a Townshend Seismic Sink. Amplification is a Lavardin IS amp positioned on a Townshend Seismic Vibration Isolation Platform. Speakers are bi-wired Nordost Blue Heaven Rev II Speaker Cable Impluse H6's positioned on Townshend Seismic Isolation Bars.

The 12" was played through its entirety, surface noise was non-existent even in-between tracks. There were no annoying skips, jumps of mis-tracking. While listening no track exhibited any sticking. There were no loud pops or any other defects heard. There was no noise distortion, while listening the music flowed with crystal clear clarity. If marking out of 10 then this is easily a 10 out of 10 playback. Absolutely awesome sound and quality.

Please note that this is a used item and there is always isolated static, ticks, light pops that maybe or can be heard, even in the quieter places during the play of any vinyl. There will be elements of surface noise.

Please remember that this is an Original 35 year old LP.

I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable/system - Cartridge and stylus profile, tracking weight, Arm VTA, arm type all go to make a difference to the sound and performance of any LP/single being played.

THE OUTER BOX: The outer box shows only light minor wear to the 4 corners. The surface is free from any major storage scuffing. There is very light minimal wear to the box edges. There is no corner splits or edge splits. There are no signs of any other forms of damage. I have graded the cover in EXCELLENT condition.
