Crazy prices being asked for this release by resellers (typically A$20 - A$50 a copy) but condition is everything and this vinyl DOES HAVE QUITE A FEW LIGHT CLEANING MARKS & SCRATCHES ....see my detailed description below
When In Rome - The Promise 12"
Virgin Records
Cat# TENX 244
1988
UK release
Cover is in good condition, a couple of small marks or graphic damage particularly to the rear of the cover. No seam splits, no tears, no writing on the cover
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see quite a number of light scratches on either side. In the main these look to be the result of overzealous cleaning in the past but a few tonearm mishandling scratches as well. I then played both sides on this vinyl.
The surface noise is certainly higher than "normal" but not excessive, mainly buried by the music. Barely any click/pop events but a constant low level surface noise (I have given this a good spin clean/vacuum 3x and it improves each time so perhaps more cleaning will be required) Certainly no mistracking occurs. Overall still a very good play.
New outer sleeve
Tracks: The Promise - O.N mix, The Promise - Coliseum Club mix, The Promise - Dub
