A chance to own a rare one that the Hip pressed on vinyl for its die-hardenest fans back in 94. I have had this since it was released (bought at a now-closed HMV), and it was shrink wrapped up until about three years ago when I bought a nicer turntable, and having been told shrinkwrap isn't necessarily great for vinyl, I unwrapped and gave it a spin. I've since played it one other time, for a buddy of mine, but other than that, it's been safely stored away from light and dust the entire time. The jacket is pristine in terms of surface and colour, with only a slight corner wear that can be expected with the jacket printed on a soft cardboard, which doesn't look to be UV coated the way today's vinyl jackets are. The inner sleeve is flawless. Jacket and inner sleeve are better than any other opened copies I've seen on the few finished auctions of same. The actual disc - again, played just twice with a quality AT cartridge - has a slight surface wear mark through the second track on Side A which doesn't affect playback. The disc looked this way when I opened it, it's otherwise shiny from edge to edge.  Selling as I'm trying to build my collection a bit and think that this will be more loved by another Hip fan who's working hard on a complete collection. I've seen them 15 times, so I know there are some passionate ones out there. Hopefully I've described well, but willing to field any questions. Haven't sold anything from my collection on eBay yet, but will be super careful with packaging and shipping, don't worry about that. Can discuss preference with winning bidder. Good Luck. #UPDATE: was asked if there was anything audible on the disc; skips, pops, noise. There isn't. I shouldn't have said "wear mark" as there is no wear on the disc, it's a cloudy blemish I can only guess is from whatever cleaning process the presser used at the time. I've seen this on brand new records I've pulled the shrink wrap off. It's possible this could come out in a proper record washer. It is not audible, and it's on a quiet track (Yawning or Snarling) so I'm glad  I played it again so that I could be more clear on that. Not a single copy of this LP on Discogs, only a few a year go up on eBay.
