This is a SCARCE 1st US PRESS of Swedish hardcore punk band Refuse' 1998 classic punk album "The Shape Of Punk To Come / A Chimerical Bombination In 12 Bursts", a hugely influential album, and this copy is in VG+ SHAPE! The cover in VG+, bordering on EX, with NO ring wear, a super legible spine, 3 crisp corners and 1 minorly bumped, NO splitting, it actually looks pretty new. The vinyl is clean and shiny with good color. It does have one very short light mark on Side Two from the middle of song two, "The Refused are Fucking Dead" and the beginning of "The Shape Of Punk To Come" that does NOT make it skip (I'm listening to it now and wow, this is a hot pressing, mastered LOUD, incredible, but in the mentioned spot, you will hear just a little faint crackle for a few seconds between the songs). It also has several light sleeve marks, but there is NO skipping on this LP, but you will hear a little snap crackle pop here and there as it is over 20 years old used vinyl, and unlikely pressed on Audiophile vinyl, but what a bunch of awesome tunes with incredible instrumentation and vocals. Violins and melodica, very Euro! I LOVE this album, and this is a 1st US press, SO hard to find in good shape. This does not have the original sleeve, but will be shipped with a nice clean new white sleeve. Get this while we've got it, and take a minute to check out the great stuff in our store, with many of my personal and rare punk LPs going up for sale now and in the next few days, just in time for 4th of July. Make some noise with this one, it ROCKS!                         Stop hoping for the best with your purchases, WE AIM TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS! Shop with confidence!    We are using best healthy practices in all aspects of our store amidst all this craziness now, and we use NEW mailers, NEW inserts, New record sleeves and NEW clear plastic covers. Our shipping is A+. Thanks for looking in our store. If you haven't shopped with us before, check out our feedback to see you can buy here with confidence. It is always important to READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION and VIEW ALL PHOTOS. We've been selling on eBay for awhile now, having stopped for a slew of surgeries and now retired from employment because of it. So, we're opening up a record store where it will be easier for me to stay active with my issues, and all proceeds from sales of our (mostly rare / scarce) vinyl goes towards making our store a reality (building records racks now, and our CD racks are full!). I post here as often as I can, please message if you're looking for something in particular. WE MAIL UNTO OTHERS AS WE WOULD HAVE THEM MAIL TO US! This will be by Media Mail, which is a bit slower but allows us to ship all US vinyl purchases FREE! We use official LP mailers with the record outside the cover, and in clean white sleeves separately from any photo inner sleeves. All vinyl is cleaned with an enzyme spray then finished with a SpinClean Machine. With sealed vinyl, please understand that we will only accept returns if the LP is still sealed, which is for our financial protection as well as yours. To all our regulars, its good to be back and we look forward to hearing from you. If you ever see wrong information in our listings, let us know, we love the trivia and always strive to be accurate. Thanks for looking, and good luck on your search for amazing music.                                                                                     Greg and Michelle Mitchell
