This auction is for a copy of the first-press of SWANS - Children of God 2xLP Vinyl Album in absolutely amazing condition.

Strict grading is as follows:

Children of God  2xLPs: VINYL Grade = NM. No Flaws at all! Look and play perfectly in every way. Gorgeous, shiny black, nearly unplayed vinyl. Not only look, but SOUND absolutely perfect!
Children of God LP COVER Grade: NM-. While the cover is nearly perfect, the ONLY flaws are a tiny "beginning" of a seam split on the top (see pic). As you can see from the pic, it's extremely minor and simply the result of storage. Vinyl collectors will know this is common, and actually less than what sometimes occurs with even sealed records, especially 2xLP gatefold releases simply due to the nature of vinyl in sleeves being shipped. Came this way NEW. I mention and show the pic only to be totally accurate and honest. Otherwise, sleeve is gorgeous, shiny black and terrific with only the faintest of marks anywhere. Even the spine with the band name/tile is nearly flawless. Also notice that this album is SIGNED by M. Gira on the inside of the gatefold (visible in second pic)!

For those that somehow don't know the "details" of this release, here they are:
