Tracy Chapman :  Self-Titled    LP

1st US pressing (1988)

Elektra 60774-1

Chapman's critically acclaimed debut album, here a first US pressing.

This is a Specialty Pressing, verified by the "SP" designation on the labels.

Superb sound quality on this well recorded album.  

Chapman's voice comes through with stunning clarity and power.

Wax looks and plays "like new".

Exceptionally high gloss remains.

Labels are essentially flawless, look "like new".

Jacket is just a wee bit shy of "like new", flawed only by a trace of ring wear.

Seams and spine are essentially flawless.  No splits.  Spine print crystal clear.

Includes original custom inner sleeve (with a photo of Chapman on one side, lyrics and credits on the other side), in NM condition. 

Matrix numbers etched in the dead wax read:

Side 1:  ST-E-60774-A-DMM-2   1-6   MASTERDISK

Side 2:  ST-E-60774 B   DMM-3   MASTERDISK

Here find Tracy Chapman's critically acclaimed debut LP as a first US pressing in stunning condition.  You will be "hard pressed" to find another unsealed copy of this gem in equal much less better condition.  Hoping this wonderful collectible goes to a good home.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

My Profile / Policies:

Note:  I've qualified for the "Top Rated Plus" seal from eBay, awarded to sellers who consistently deliver outstanding customer service.

Music is my passion.  I’ve been a collector for more than 50 years and have thousands of records in my personal collection, focused largely on 50’s and 60’s rock ‘n’ roll.  Recently retired, I look to downsize and sell select portions of my collection in hopes of financing future purchases of a few special pieces.  

All records I offer are from my personal collection, each cleaned using my Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning Machine.

Wax is play graded (not just visually graded), employing Goldmine Price Guide standards.

As I take great care to accurately describe my items, I do not accept returns unless my item description is incorrect.

All records are packaged with the wax outside the jacket (to avoid seam split in transit), enclosed in a plastic sleeve and shipped in robust record mailer boxes via USPS Media Mail, tracking included.

International customers pay shipping costs and duties per the eBay Global Shipping Program guidelines. 

Payment expected within 3 business days of auction closing.
