MAD SEASON "Above" 2xLP - 1995 grunge signed etched gatefold AIC Signed!.
Dustlacket should be considered in fair condition with what I would consider a heavy handling look to it. Please look at pictures closely. Numerous areas of wear, a corner cut off, bending of the cover and so on. Consider both LPS to be in vg condition HOWEVER though I cannot accurately represent it in these pictures BOTH LPS are warped. The warping is not egregious however both records particularly the one with the etching is warped. Maybe someone with knowledge and and a degree of skill could flatten them. After looking at the record lo and behold there appears to the signature of Layne Staley written with a sharpie. I find it interesting that given the expanse of the area(s) in which he was to write or sign his signature seems somewhat diminutive and "I'm here but I'm not here" quality to it. I have no documentation or proof of any kind regarding this signatures authenticity. A neat artifact from a heralded era.
