Yes - this is the real deal
This is a SEALED copy of a 2nd PRESSING of Motley Crue's "Too Fast For Love" - pressed on Motley's own self-produced and released - Leathur Records
It is SEALED and thus MINT - The jacket is in Near Mint - almost completely MINT condition - there are no tears into the plastic wrap, and no tears or otherwise damage to the jacket anywhere.....it looks brand new....
And obviously, it has never been opened - thus the vinyl has never been played. You cannot get a better copy of Motley Crue - "Too Fast For Love "- Leathur Records LR-123
(this is the second pressing - I am also selling a copy of the 1st pressing and the 3rd pressing)
A few years ago, Alan Coffman's (the Crue's first manager) wife was selling off the remainder of the Leathur LPs that were in his estate on eBay, and I spent my entire savings buying as many as I could of "Too Fast for Love" in all 3 pressings as well as the 7" " Toast of the Town/Stick To Your Guns " single, that were all pressed on Motley's own self produced "Leathur Records"
According to most sources the 1st pressing of TFFL on Leathur Records only pressed between 900 and 2000 copies - depending on which source you believe.
I tried to find an exact number for the 2nd pressing number of prints, I used to find a website that had the numbers - but couldn't find it - but - not too many I know that. I'm guessing somewhere between 2000 and 5000 - somewhere in there...
The first pressing is one of the Rarest Metal albums to have, and aside from the 7" "Toast/Guns" single - which was the first vinyl the Crue ever recorded and pressed and released to the public - the second pressing would be #3 behind the 7" and the first pressing in the most valuable and rare Crue LPs.
I have three copies - and each one is SEALED. I am selling one here - and will consider selling the other ..... but only if I am presented with a very good offer.
Normally, I would NEVER sell any of my Leathur albums - I was only planning on selling off some of my Vinyl Extras - to buy some things for my wife and 3 year old, and the house we live in -- but as fate would have it - I live in Lake County CA - and for those who watch the National News, California is on Fire - and my back yard (literally speaking) has been burnt down, and now we are needing to move....
So - as it turns out I am selling my "extra" copies of my Leathur Records collection as well
Note - I have copies of ALL THREE PRESSINGS. I have SEALED copies of both the 1st and 2nd pressing, and Excellent copies of the 3rd pressing; I am listing copies of pressings 1, 2, and 3 - but I WILL NOT sell my "Toast/Guns" 45s - so don't ask.
Again - this is the real deal - feel free to ask me any questions - but those that know - know this is the real thing.
(Sorry for the crappy pictures - I'm using my cell phone - currently that's the best camera I own)
I am selling a lot of albums over the next week or so, but I simply do not have time to take pictures and list them all.
Plus - I am new to selling - only selling off my multiple/extra vinyl -
As such, eBay is only allowing me to list a limited number of items per month, and I want to take care of all this in basically the same time period.
If you're looking for something in the hard rock vinyl (especially heavy metal - thrash metal - black metal from 70's to late 80's) send me an email - I may have it
I have a lot of NWOBHM - Iron Maiden (a LOT of Maiden), Saxon, Motorhead, Diamond Head, Angel Witch, Samson, Def Leppard, Budgie, Judas Priest, Venom, Tygers of Pan Tang, Raven....
And of course I have all the old school metal bands like Sabbath, Kiss, AC/DC, Scorpions, Motley Crue (even some original Leathur items I am considering selling) Rush, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin - etc
I also have a LOT of thrash/death/(first wave of) black metal - Celtic Frost, Bathory, Slayer, Metallica ( a LOT of Metallica), Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Possesed, Exodus, ...and on and on....I have over 50 crates of albums that I need to unload the majority of - especially the multiples
I also have some L.A. and San Francisco based "funk metal" and similar genre. (Jane's Addiction, Faith No More, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mordred, Fishbone, 24-7 Spyz [even tho they are from NY], Love/Hate and the like)
And also I have a lot of "Seattle Grunge" bands from the late 80's early 90's (Melvins, Tad, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Green River, Mother Love Bone, Gruntruck, Screaming Trees....etc)
I have LP's 12" Singles, 45s, Imports, Picture Discs, SHAPED Picture Discs, Live Bootlegs.....everything
And for the most part, everything I have is either very very good jacket with near mint vinyl or Near Mint Jacket with NEVER PLAYED Vinyl....which is actually the condition of the majority of the Vinyl I am selling.
So....if you're a fan of the above bands and or genres and are looking for some Vinyl - email me - I may very well have it.
Lastly -
If you buy an album from me, please don't expect it to be shipped of the next day. I am sending them off in bulk shipments, because I cannot run back and forth to the post every day - so please - be patient ...
Aside from that - feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Shipping only to the United States
Thanks
