These records are from the OG original 1994 pressing, purchased directly from the artist website, and they are in Near Mint (NM/M-) or better condition and have been carefully stored and handled in a private, non-smoking and pet-free collection for over 20 years.  I think it was only played once to record to other media for listening. The original outer sleeve has been preserved with a plastic envelope and the original inner record sleeves have been preserved from day one by using the Realistic brand inner sleeves, all included with sale. Minty-mint, MINTY!!
