Up for auction is a 180 gram LP of Sting's MERCURY FALLING.  A&M Universal 540 486-1
Condition is 9/8.5 (cover/record).  I've owned this record since new, and haven't played it more than 2-3 times (if that), solely on a Rega Planar 3.  It's condition is as I purchased it when new.  There is a very slight corner ding on the lower right on the otherwise mint cover.  See grading standards below (grades 9-10 used with good reason).
Shipping is via USPS Media or Priority Mail (your choice) in the USA, and USPS First Class or Priority Mail internationally.
Please see my many other auctions, including some quite rare titles.
This is a 3 day auction.  Please write with any questions.  Thank you for your interest.  Good luck.
