~ HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE VINTAGE VINYLS ~ BUY FOR YOURSELF OR AS A GIFT!!!

FEATURING - PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION ~ ORIGINAL 1984 ~ FIRST PRESS #1A ~ IN SHRINK WRAP WITH RARE ~ ORIGINAL LARGE 22X28 PROMOTIONAL POSTER VINYL INSERT/LYRICS!!!   

Purple Rain ~ Is Prince's most definitive vinyl in the wider world's consciousness, and it's not hard to see why. For one thing, it boasts two utterly majestic singles in "When Doves Cry" and "Purple Rain", the first of which has proved its strength by being covered by literally hundreds of artists and still sounding good in most people's hands, the second of which is a spacious, gut-wrenching power ballad that has none of the faults or vices that the phrase suggests. Hell, if all power ballads sounded this good, I'm not sure I'd listen to any other genre. (Spuntnic)

~ Buying "Vintage" ~ means that the vinyl has been pre-loved and pre-played ~ Rarely in perfect condition…As with any Vintage Vinyl Not Marked as MINT - you may hear faint background noise/ pops/clicks etc.

Vinyl/Jacket grading is based on the Goldmine standard: SS - Still Sealed – For the collector that requires perfection. M - Mint - a near perfect/un-played record. NM - Near Mint - in factory fresh condition, like new. EX+- close to like new with only superficial signs of use that do not affect play. EX- A used, reasonable copy. Shows slight signs of wear. VG+- There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility a few scuffs - could include light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, still plays great. VG- significant wear and marks - would b noticeable - may have surface noise -still plays very well with no disruption. Good- Would only sell if the Record/Cover were Rare ~ Highly Desirable and/or Limited/SpecialEdition vinyl/jacket cover
