Description
THE STROKES - IS THIS IT.
UK First Press on Rough Trade Records (2001) - RTRADELP 030.
Original full inner sleeve and centres.
Track Listing: See images of back sleeve and record centre.
Condition:
I've put on 'Very Good Plus' as a mere marker - I don't believe in grading records. It's simple - whatever the visual condition of the record, this only suits someone who buys it to play. This plays without any jumps from start to finish and sounds great - it simply sounds like a record - it has the usual bit of crackle and it would be weird if it didn't.
Sleeve: The record has been kept in a PVC sleeve for most of the time I've had it. It has fared better than I have since 2001, if that's any use. It's meant to have blemishes on it but this is in amazing condition. I find the whole condition of sleeves baffling. If you buy an old guitar, people want 'patina'. It authenticates it rather than devaluing it.
What I'm not offering is an original release that is as good as 'Mint', you'd need the minor miracle of 'Dead Stock' to achieve that and if that exists anywhere, it would be truly astronomically expensive.
The only other grading is a record that is knackered - and I would not even be selling it if that were the case.
I'm basically selling this to someone who isn't buying it to handle with white snooker referee gloves. Proceed accordingly.
