This is a fine copy from an early reissue (c. 1983) of the debut LP by Athens, Georgia, new wave group the B-52's, originally released in 1979.  The record features "Rock Lobster," which became a sort of left-field club hit, along with "Planet Claire" and several other fun tracks.  The jacket is close to M- with a little light staining in one corner and a little light creasing along the spine and seams (EX+).  The disc is clean, and plays with light surface noise in the lead-in grooves to both sides, and at the start of side 2, and otherwise with a little light surface noise (EX+).


I’m helping a friend sell his personal collection. I have play graded (spot checked) discs. The jackets will be shipped in plastic sleeves with the discs removed from them.


If you'd like to order multiple items, I'll happily combine them so that you won't have to pay multiple shipping charges.
