Too many records… Yes, so we’re putting some up for sale. 

This is Neutral Milk Hotel with 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sky' and has been determined as being the second variant of the 3rd pressing released in 2000 on standard weight ~140g vinyl. 

Includes a 9.5" x 9.5" insert with credits and lyrics and hype sticker which is has been affixed to the white liner sleeve. I have made every effort to ensure that this is the 3rd press which is determined by the green bias to the front sleeve art, the off-white/yellow labels and position of the Victrola. The run-off matrix has been thoroughly checked, too, although this, with some minor variations to the 5th and 6th variant, seems to be the same.

Finally, I've also weighed the record, and it comes in at 142g. This puts it above the weight of the earlier 1st and 2nd pressings but the sleeve and label colours are sufficiently different to rule it out being a later pressing.

The sleeve does have a very minor dent on the two bottom corners, but they are hardly noticeable. Vinyl has some very minimal and hardly noticeable surface marking and appears in excellent condition but has been conservatively graded as: 

Sleeve Condition - VG+ 

Media Condition - VG+ 

The grading is based on an established and accepted grading system although it is usually done conservatively unless the item is still new and sealed in which case both the vinyl and sleeve will be graded as mint unless comments describe otherwise. Photos will usually confirm serial and other identification numbers, track listings etc. especially for those items that have been opened and played. If deemed appropriate run out matrix and other label identifiers will also be included although, if not, you are welcome to request them. 

All records will be dispatched in appropriate packaging to protect the contents and usually done as signed for 2nd class subject to the item value and the level of cover required for insurance if necessary. If you require any other postal service or wish to collect then please contact me for further information. With no P&P on my items, the more you buy, the more you save! Combine as much as you like and keep an eye out for further items being added.
