Rare 1st US vinyl pressing of The Offspring’s LP Americana. This was a promo copy given to a record store so the top left corner has a diagonal cut and was removed (see photo).


The vinyl has been audio tested in it’s entirety and played through with no issues. Audio sounds great! There are some light surface marks on both sides that do not affect play. Possibly could be removed with a thorough cleaning. No deep scratches or anything like that. Nothing that affects playback.


The jacket has the top left corner cut off, as it was a promo copy given to a record store, as mentioned above. The inner sleeve has a small seem split on one side, about an inch and a half (see photo). The jacket has a couple small signs of wear in the top left corner when you hold it in the light at the right angle, maybe about a quarter of an inch each (see photo of top left corner, one on each side of the reflection on the boys head from the flash). The back of the jacket has two small creases, one on each side of the flash reflection in the photo. Very small, one of them is maybe 1/2 an inch and the other is about 1/4 inch. Otherwise jacket is in nice condition. Graded as VG+ due to the promo cutout and these minor signs of wear.

This is a great pressing of this album. I had never listened to it since I bought it about ten years ago. When I played it for the audio testing I ended up listening to the whole album and was very impressed by the quality of the recording.
