Condition of record is a SOLID NM with no visible surface marks.  Condition of cover is a high VG+ with a little ring and contact wear and a little wear along the edges and on the corners.  Custom inner sleeve has small splits in the middle of all three edges which I have repaired with clear tape. This LP would be a nice addition to any XTC or 1980s alternative rock LP collection!  $3.65 SHIPPING via USPS Media Mail.  SORRY, NO SHIPPING OUTSIDE THE U.S. AT THIS TIME.  BUYER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE! I will give an immediate refund (less shipping) upon return of the LP in the above stated condition if buyer is dissatisfied for any reason. Good luck!
