Artist: Guns N' Roses Title: Appetite for Destruction Year: 1987 Label: Geffen Records/Uzi Suicide Number of Tracks: 12 Condition (Vinyl): 6.5/10 (some surface marks and a few light scratches - plays great) Condition (Sleeve): 5/10 (some corner wear, edge wear and ringwear on outer sleeve, a few light beds and creases, ringwear and seam splits on inner sleeve) Notes: Offered here is the incredibly rare first UK issue of the Guns 'N Roses classic debut album "Appeiete for Destruction." The vinyl is very clean and the sleeve isn't in bad shape, either - both outer and inner sleeves are present and even the seldom seen logo sticker included! The sleeve has both original hype stickers present (one advertisting the hit singles and the other warning about lyrics) and obviously as this is the first pressing it has the notorious BANNED sleeve! A really nice record that's a must for any big G'N'R collector!

Condition/Grading

I grade both the media itself and the package/artwork separately. Each gets a grade from 1-10, with 10 being the best condition and 1 the worst. A new, unplayed record or CD will get a 10. A record or CD that's been played but is still in mint condition will get a 9. Things go down progressively from there. If there is a notable flaw, I will reference it after the number grade. I have given up on letter grading because I found that the definitions were too varied from seller to seller and buyer to buyer and think a number grade will give buyers a little better idea of what to expect.


International Shipping

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

I do not ship CDs or 7" singles media mail, they always go at least first class. I can upgrade any domestic purchase to Priority Mail for an additional charge. All non-US winners get their items shipped via USPS First Class International Mail. USPS Priority Mail is available for international winners but at a significant cost difference. The additional per item charge in the table above is generally good for 2 or 3 items. If you buy more than that, the rates for additional items will go down significantly; send me a message for specific info. Also, unlike a lot of other sellers, I generally count double releases (those with two 7"s singles in a gatefold sleeve, two CDs in a single jewel case or double vinyl LPs) as just one item, but if it's a particularly lavish release (with posters, booklets and such, even if it's just a single disc) there may be a slight additional postage charge.
