Description

PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.

RARE original Jacksonville pressing from April of 1978 on Warner Brothers' palm tree label with glossy full color printed inner sleeve!!!  First pressings are easily identifiable by the number 4 repeated on the side one label above Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love.  LP is VG+/VG++ with a few light scuffs.  Cover is still in the original shrink wrap and beautiful.  Even has the original $6.99 Musicland (R.I.P.) price label on the cellophane in the top left hand corner on the front cover.  A high grade first pressing with impeccable provenance.  THIS is what collecting is about.  You will not be disappointed.  This was the shot heard 'round the world when released to an unsuspecting public 48 years ago(!).  One of the very few albums in history to have changed the entire musical landscape upon release.  It inspired millions to either learn how to play or quit entirely ("What's the point? I'll never be THAT good" -Me).  Every fan of rock NEEDS this LP.  
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~ MINT (SEALED)  NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF US VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
