Description
Sodom - Agent Orange Rare Gatefold Original 1989 German First Press Vinyl LP Steamhammer SPV 08-7596
After owning this record for over 25 years, I am reluctantly selling off parts of my personal collection.
**ARTIST:** Sodom **TITLE:** Agent Orange (Original 1989 German 1st Pressing - Rare Gatefold Edition) **LABEL:** Steamhammer / SPV **CATALOGUE NUMBER:** SPV 08-7596 (SPV 08-08137) **COUNTRY & YEAR:** Germany (1989)
Note: No EMP merchandise insert is included
**CONDITION & GRADING (VISUAL GRADE ONLY - UNPLAYED):**
Please review the condition notes and view the high-resolution photos carefully. This vintage record is visually graded only.
* **Vinyl Condition:** (VG): Visual grading only. The disc retains a great original luster across the grooves. Shows visible superficial hairline scratches and paper scuffs under close inspection and direct light (clearly documented in close-up photos). All marks are completely smooth to the touch, cannot be felt with a fingernail, and should not cause any skips. Yellow/orange Steamhammer labels are pristine with a clean center hole and zero spindle trail marks or writing. Runout features the authentic German First Press DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) machine stamps: "08-7596" and "DMM". I do not own a turntable to play test.
**Lyric Insert / Inner Sleeve Condition:** (VG+/NM): Includes the authentic, rare original printed single-sheet lyric insert. Both sides of the paper are exceptionally crisp, clean, and flat, completely free of any tears, pinholes, writing, or corner folds. Red track-heading graphics and text blocks remain sharp, bold, and perfectly legible.
**Outer Sleeve Condition:** (VG): Structurally solid heavy-cardboard gatefold jacket with tight, unbroken perimeter seams and clean opening mouths. This is the rare, highly sought-after 1989 German first pressing gatefold variant. The front and back artwork panels are incredibly bright, glossy, and vibrant. The inner gatefold spread is in spectacular, near-pristine condition—exceptionally dark, clean, and completely free from handling smudges, crease tears, or color fading. **Note on Condition:** Shows typical minor shelf wear, light edge whitening along the borders, and mild corner tip softening from long-term storage. The spine features a distinct, localized paper seam split/breakthrough near the center line (clearly documented in close-up photos), though the spine wall remains structurally cohesive and the printed text is legible. Completely free from ringwear scuffing, writing, or barcode stickers. Printed in West Germany.
**IMPORTANT BUYER AGREEMENT & PHOTO POLICY:**
Please review all high-resolution listing photographs carefully before purchasing. These photos represent the exact item you will receive and serve as an essential part of the physical item description. By purchasing or making an offer, you explicitly agree that you are buying this vintage item based on the visual condition shown in the photos and the documented 'unplayed/visual-only' grading. As I am unable to play-test, returns or partial refunds based on audio playback variance will not be accepted.
**PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED PRIOR TO SHIPPING:**
This record has been deep-cleaned using a Spin-Clean system with distilled water and anti-static solution to clear any microscopic storage dust. It has been placed into a brand new, clean anti-static inner sleeve. It will be shipped alongside the original printed insert inside a new outer record sleeve to keep everything pristine.
**SHIPPING & PACKAGING:**
Will be shipped securely packaged in a dedicated cardboard record mailer
