Description

Rainy Day Records USA  (established 1981) 

ALWAYS COMBINES SHIPPING TO SAVE YOU MONEY AND WE ALWAYS SHIP WITH TRACKING. YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY!


From Columbia Records (JC 35037), this is MY AIM IS TRUE 

by  ELVIS COSTELLO. It is an original (first) US pressing from 

July 22, 1977, in beautiful condition. Jacket is about NM- or better;

LP play-grades from NEAR MINT MINUS to solid MINT mostly in the 

NEAR MINT+ range. Overall, simply stunning piece! We play-grade open

copies of what we list. This LP has a light surface buff or two but plays 

as described above. This is a keeper and an album you'll come back to again 

and again. Put away your sealed copy for posterity and keep this one on 

your turntable. Play Loud. Dance Hard. Our highest recommendation.

   

Wherever possible we house our vinyl in Mobile Fidelity Sound

Lab inner sleeves for the ultimate in protection; we use 6-mil

outer sleeves or polyester both being the finest protection 

available for LP jackets.

These we offer FREE to all our customers!

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you 

are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, 

a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden 

parachute.  Instead, you’re helping a little girl get 

dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, 

a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, 

or a student pay for college. Our customers are our 

shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. 

Thank you for supporting small businesses.

Thoughts for today:

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they arm themselves against wonder.
