Suicide (w/ Alan Vega & Martin "Rev" Reverby) - Debut LP - Red Star Records RS1 - 1977 First Pressing - VG

This is the eponymous debut album from Suicide, issued by Red Star Records in December 1977. More "no wave" avant-garde than straight ahead punk, it is now widely regarded as a milestone in electronic and rock music.
Just one original pressing. Please feel free to verify features of various release versions on Discogs if you have any concerns.

Overall condition is VG. Vinyl is VG (bordering on VG+ but I don't want to overstate the condition of such a relative rarity), with moderate overall scuffing and some fingerprint marks. Sleeve is VG+, minor ring wear and creasing, a radio station stamp on front (which appears to be able to be largely removed with a damp cloth), and one slightly bent corner and one cut corner.
Side 1: Ghost Rider
Rocket U.S.A.

Grading is subjective, I am not a professional dealer. I try to place myself in the position of the buyer and be as accurate as possible, listing any notable defects.

Shipping in US via USPS Ground Advantage, it's a bit more expensive but you'll get it quicker with less likelihood of loss or damage. (The only shipments I've ever had "go missing" were sent Media Mail.) Shipping to other countries is via eBay International Shipping.
I will combine shipping if you buy multiple items, please wait for a revised invoice.
This is one of the few albums where I was not the original owner, it was "liberated" from a college radio station which inexpicably enforced a strict commercial playlist format and student deejays were threatened with being fired for playing "crap" like this. So it didn't get much airplay! Please feel free to ask any questions, and check out my other items!
