The Residents original limited edition 1974 album: Meet the Residents  Ralph Records RR0274  Mono First Edition  Limited to 1000 copies
Album looks unplayed and glossy still after 43 years.  For this reason I grade it as NM using Goldmine standards; the sleeve has no splits and is in excellent shape with the exceptions of some slight discoloration due to aging at the top of the front cover and a few light scratches/minor crease around top left front cover.  For these reasons I grade the cover as VG+ using Goldmine standards.   Please see the photos for actual item. Kind questions are always welcomed!
