Description

Original 1993 UK pressing in gatefold cover.  Out of print and very hard to find these days.  Bought second-hand and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment. 

  • VG+ gatefold cover has a 2" seam split at the top.  There is slight warping in the bottom right (photo)  There is an upper right corner ding (photo) and mild wear in a few areas along the opening.  Spine and edges are strong with no wear.  The two corners along the spine are strong with no wear.  Still a nice cover, very close to EX.  These thin and lightweight import covers are so hard to keep NM!
  • EX vinyl has two hairlines on the outer lip of side 2 that bleed partially into track 1.  These are not deep. I made several listen-throughs with headphones and heard 2-3 light 'ticks' at different spots during the track. (Ortofon 2M Black cartridge) The rest of  side 1 and all of side 2 are clean and glossy with no marks of any kind.  Without the hairlines this is an easy NM grading.  Such a shame, but this is still a really nice copy of this hard to find original.

I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection.  Much tender loving care has gone into this collection.  I have digitally archived all my albums.  These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins.  All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment.  Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed.  Stay tuned!

Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):
Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect Near Mint means just shy of perfect Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
