Soft Cell ART OF FALLING APART and SOUL INSIDE, 3xLP, Sire PROMOS (1983)

$

25

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

 

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

 

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

• This listing includes 2 albums and 3 records:

"The Art Of Falling Apart" w/ Bonus LP and "Soul Inside" a mini album.

• Both are Promotional Copies.
• Neither copy has ever been played.
• The gold foil Promo stamp is on the front covers.
• The single piece board covers have tight seams and show no wear.
• Two inner sleeves are the original soft poly. The other is a semi-gloss with pictures and credits.
• These are one-owners that the Seller got new from Sire Records in 1983. They have been in storage for 35 years.
