Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, tiny surface abrasions, and surface impressions (front/back); factory applied sticker correcting catalog number near top of spine and sticker correcting barcode near top-right on back. Inner-sleeve is generic white. Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; some wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Alf, by Alison Moyet, launched Moyet's solo career following the disbanding of synthpop duo Yazoo (also known as Yaz). The album reached No. 1 in the UK and features the singles Love Resurrection, All Cried Out, Invisible and For You Only. Alf was released in November 1984 and was a commercial success in the UK and worldwide. The album topped the UK chart, and by the beginning of December, the album had achieved a double platinum certification. In April 1985 it had gone triple platinum and in February 1987 it went quadruple. In 1985, the success of the album led to Moyet receiving her first Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist. Alf also reached No. 1 in New Zealand and would go eight times platinum there. In America, the album would prove to be Moyet's most successful commercially, peaking at No. 45. It was later reported by Billboard magazine in February 1994 that Alf had sold three million copes worldwide.
