Brand New Deja Entendu Vinyl, RARE First Pressing, Still Sealed, 1 of 1000

$

500

This is a sealed copy of the beautiful Deja Entendu from Brand New. It is the original First Pressing which was limited to 1000 copies worldwide. You can tell this by the barcode in the bottom left corner of the record's sleeve. This record has never been opened and is still in it's original shrink wrap. Therefore the record itself is in mint condition. Just as it would have been if purchase from a Brand New show back in 2003.
Just for the sake of collector value and personally knowing how difficult and rare this vinyl is to come by, I wanted to be sure I include every detail possible below:
The shrink wrap itself has one minor cut that is barely noticeable near the front right edge of the record. It came like this when purchased years ago from what I remember. Along with this there is a slight ring wear on the shrink wrap from age that you can only see if you hold the record at the right angle to a light. The only other detail worth mentioning is on the very back upper corner of the record there is a tiny crease from shrink wrap pressure over time that is also something you really wouldn't notice right away, but looking very closely it's there.
None of this in any way takes away from the condition of the record itself or the fact that it is unopened and in mint condition. It is in the exact state you would find it off a shelf at your local record shop or from a Brand New show at the time. 
I hope that a true Brand New fan will get to feel the glory of having this beautiful album in their collection or as their first record. I've had it for years and Brand New has been a favorite band of mine since way back in the day. I know how important this album is and holding it in record form as a first original pressing is a special experience. It is hard to part with this record, but I need to fund my own album's recording in studio this summer.
Feel free to message me with any questions. I'm happy to do my best to answer. FYI there are many "1st Pressings" of Deja Entendu showing up on eBay that are actually second pressings. The difference being that the barcode on the first pressing is printed on the bottom left hand side of the records sleeve. These are the original 1/1000 pressed in 2003. The second pressing which was issued later had the barcode printed on a sticker and placed on the bottom right hand side of the plastic sleeve itself. As you can see in the photos of this listing the barcode is actually printed on the vinyl sleeve itself in the bottom left corner and then covered in shrink wrap. If you look at the other listings currently on eBay claiming to be 1st pressings, they have sticker barcodes placed in the lower right of the record's plastic sleeve. They must either be trying to be deceptive, or are just unaware of the issue they're selling. I wanted to be sure as buyers you knew you were bidding on the real thing.
