The Gift (Vinyl LP)

As their albums progressed, weller began moving the band further away from straight punk and into more r&b-flavored territory. here are the ultimate fruits of that transformation on their final album 'the gift' from 1982. along with the influence of motown ('town called malice'), this album also includes tasteful nods to disco ('precious'), along with a more mod/punk call to their ealier days ('just who is the five o'clock hero'), an interesting instrumental track ('circus') and catchy numbers like 'happy together' and 'ghosts.' further evidence of experimentation is evident on the dancey 'trans-global express' and the use of steel drums on 'planner's dream gone wrong.'

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
