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.
