FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE

In the spring of 1995, The Cult disbanded, with Ian Astbury forming a short lived project called the Holy Barbarians, whose name was taken from a 1959 Lawrence Lipton novel. Only one album released titled "Cream" named after the UK nightclub that Ian Astbury frequently visited. Extensively toured ( Feb - Nov 1996) throughout the UK, Europe and North America.

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE . A STUNNING MINT DISC IN EVERY WAY
