This auction is for a collection/lot of 4 Jane's Addiction vinyl albums: "Ritual Demos", "That Ain't Country", "Among Freaks" and the "Classic Girl" picture disc, + a free goodie-bag of old-school Jane's stickers, postcards and a button.
First and foremost, in the spirit of full disclosure, these albums are all WARPING. I cannot attest to their play-ability as I do not currently own a record player. However, in my unprofessional opinion, I do not think the warping is so bad as to render them unplayable. But they most definitely are warped to various degrees. Please see pics for condition, or message me to see more pics. (That said, I believe hardcore Jane's fans want these albums more for their scarcity and novelty than to actually listen to them).

Second, I cannot/will not make any claim as to the condition of each album nor their sleeves. Just inspect the pics and judge for yourself. Keep reading for specific details.
Thirdly, I am the original owner of these albums since they were first issued. I was a big Jane's fan back in the day (and I still am), and collected all their vinyl - even though I rarely listened to these unofficial releases.
Fourth, I am keenly aware of how ridiculously rare these 3 albums are ("That Ain't Country" in particular). I keep close tabs on unofficial Jane's albums here on eBay and know what they tend to fetch. So I'm truly sorry to those fans who are priced out of this auction. With that in mind, I'm parting with this collection for much cheaper than what you'd have to pay for the same albums elsewhere.

From janesaddiction.org:
1) "That Ain’t Country" is a DOUBLE 12″ vinyl by Toast Records.  It contains recordings taken from two Jane’s Addiction concerts: The Cannery in Nashville, TN on February 12, 1989, and Topper’s Cafe in La Verne, CA. The sleeve is standard industry-issue cardboard.

2) "Ritual Demos" is a 7″ vinyl that includes a pair of studio demos for the Jane’s Addiction songs Stop! and Ain’t No Right leaked from the Ritual de lo Habitual recording sessions from Track Record Studios in Los Angeles recorded in November of 1989. There are three known versions: THIS version has the cover and back artwork printed in black and white and comes with a blue 7″ vinyl with a blank white label. The sleeve is paper.

3) "Among Freaks" is a 7″ vinyl using a pair of songs recorded at the Jane’s Addiction concert on February 8, 1989 at the Cotton Club in Atlanta, GA. A highlight of the recording used on this album is that Jane’s Addiction performs part of what would eventually become the Porno For Pyros song Blood Rag during the breakdown section of Pigs In Zen. There are two versions of this record: THIS version comes on a black 7″ vinyl with a blank green label. The sleeve is card-stock.

4) "Classic Girl" is a single for the Ritual de lo Habitual album, released on July 17, 1991 by Warner Brothers Records.  It was the final single for that album. There are numerous versions of this single depending on region: THIS version is the U.K. 12″ limited edition picture vinyl with the Ritual de lo Habitual cover on one side and the Classic Girl cover on the opposite, which comes in a cardboard cut-out sleeve.

NOTE:
1) The "Among Freaks" record has two unusual runout-groove etchings in the dead wax space: One side is written "Perry's a Freak" and the other says "Jane's A Dickhead". These etchings were most likely made at the record's original pressing plant (which BTW has been scratched out so as to escape the legal ramifications of pressing an unofficial recording). I do not know if other "Among Freaks" albums being sold on eBay also have these etchings, but if they do not, then consider this record extra-special.

2) The "Ritual Demos" record also has two clever dead-wax etchings: One side says "Side Juan" and the other side says "Juan More".
FREE:
A goodie bag of swag that I collected back in the early 90s: 2 postcards; 1 photo; 3 stickers; 1 button.
POSTSCRIPT:

If you don't mind the warping, these are must-have albums for hardcore Jane's fans and a very rare opportunity to get your hands on them.
