R.E.M.'s 7th Official Studio Album 'Automatic For The People' 1st UK/German Pressing - 1992 on Warner Bros. Records - Cat. #WX 488 9362-45055-1 
Vinyl: Excellent Condition - Cover: Very Good Plus - Excellent Condition!

This is a VERY RARE copy of R.E.M.'s 'Automatic For The People'. This is the original 1992 1st Pressing European edition that was pressed in Germany by Warner Music Manufacturing Europe. 

However, *BE CAREFUL!* There is a 1999 Repressing that is put out by Optimal Media Production which uses the same UPC/Barcode & Cat. # but has some differences that are easy to spot. The 1999 Optimal Media version has the Cat. # B922353 stamped in the runouts and this version only has code 'WMME Alsdorf 245055-1' stamped in the runouts. There is also a Warner Logo embossed on the outer jacket's back lower right corner.  Included in this listing is the original printer inner sleeve.

Viny is in Excellent Condition. It shows very light signs of wear such as faint paper scuffs that does not affect the sound when played.

*NOTE* I have fully play tested this album and it sounded great and tracked perfectly.

Cover is in very Very Good Plus - Excellent Condition. This cover show no signs of wear or handling except for edge wear on the center left edge and bottom edge. This wear has just about gone through but I would not consider it to be an actual seem split. Carefully view images 3 & 4 for detail photographs of this wear. 

Inner printed sleeve is in Excellent Condition.

*All of my records are stored properly from first time I open them or from when I purchased them used. All cellophane or shrink wrap is completely removed (and all hype, promo, info or other stickers are carefully removed and saved when possible). Next each record and any other inserts, booklets, bonus material and download cards are removed from the outer cover. Records if needed are then placed in to new inner sleeves often these are archival inner poly sleeves. All inserts, booklets, bonus material and download cards are placed back inside the cover. The record(s) are stored outside of the sleeve but are then all placed together inside a 3-Mil Clear Poly-Outer Sleeve. This method provides the safest storage for the records, as well as safely storing all bonus material and printed inner sleeves or inserts and last storing the record outside of the cover greatly reduces the chance of the cover from developing ring-wear, edge-wear or seem splits.

This record along with all of the other albums that I am selling are from my own personal collection. I am selling some of my records to make space and to make money to put towards a car. Grading has been done by me both visually under a 100w lamp and sonically on my ADC 3001 Direct Drive Turntable with my Infinity Black Widow Tonearm and an ADC ZLM Cartridge/Stylus Combo.  Last all records are cleaned using a VPI HW 16.5 vinyl record vacuum cleaning machine before shipment. *

Carefully view all photographs as they are of actual record album being sold. Photographs are taken specifically for each listing and will show the records true current cosmetic condition. Please contact me with any and all questions prior to purchasing.

Thanks for Looking and Good Luck!
