D.R.I. - Dealing With It LP 1st Pressing Death Records 1985 Hardcore Punk Thrash. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
The 1st US pressing of this record is on Death Records and has red Death Records labels on the disc.  The back cover has Death and Enigma logos, while the Canadian version has Death and Fringe logos.
Track B7 is written as "Arguement Then War" on the back cover, but spelled correctly on the disc label. The Lyric insert is red text on a black background. The Canadian version has white text on a black background. There is also a 1988 repress that (as far as I can tell) is exactly like this version, except for the run out groove text. That version has pressing plant (Rainbow records) info on the run-out groove in addition to the text listed here.

This record looks a bit worn torn without a doubt. There are quite a few scratches and scuffs. Most look to be light but there are also a few that look potentially more significant. Still not likely anything bad enough to cause a skip but there is bound to be some surface noise and a some pops and clicks here and there. G
The insert is a bit beat up as well. There are a number of creases and fold lines near the corners and at one side. There is also Overall Moderate level handling wear. The pictures pretty much tell the full tale, so please look closely. G
The cover also has some significant battle damage. There is Light ring wear on front and back, mostly visible at the top and bottom middle areas. There are also a number of minor veins near the corners and edges. Most are less than an inch in length but there are a couple faint longer ones. The corner tips have Moderate wear. The spine edge has Severe wear and there is a 4 inch long gaping hole in that edge (see pictures,) where the cover is worn right through. Surprisingly most of the title text is still intact including the band and album titles. The shelf edge also has Severe wear and a smaller section on that edge has also worn right through, leaving a 1 and a half inch hole in that edge. G
This entire package is a bit worn-torn and the price will reflect that, but it isn't bad enough to make your collection look trashy. 

Grades that I use are G-, G, G+, G++, G+++, VG, VG+, VG++, VG+++/EX, NM. I won't be describing anything as M or MINT unless it is unopened and the packaging is completely unblemished. Records that have never been played but HAVE been opened, will be described as Near Mint or NM. These are the adjectives that I use when describing damage: Very Light, Light, Moderate, Severe, Catastrophic. To describe damage in between those ranks I say things like: "Moderate leaning towards Severe," "Moderate leaning towards light," or "In between Light and Moderate"...just for example.
