Description

Up for auction is a brand new unplayed copy of the Sufjab Stevens double lp - Illinoise.  This record initially came out with a picture of superman on the cover, which was "covered up" with a balloon sticker on account of a lawsuit from DC comics.  This partidular copy has never been played, nor has the sticker been messed with.

This record came out in 2005 on Asthmatic Kitty records, and the version with the "superman sticker cover-up" is highly collectable.  As a bonus I am also including a giant poster from the same album, measuring 22" x 33".  This poster also features original art including the picture of superman that was later recalled / removed.
