Alice in chains
Face lift vinyl LP 1st UK/european pressing from 1990 on CBS records
Cat. no. 467201 1
1A1 and 1B1 matrices
Vinyl is in nice condition. Clean, bright and still very glossy with just a few light sleeve removal scuffs visible under strong light and the odd superficial hairline. One feelable scratch on side 1 that goes over track 2 and 3. VG+
Labels are near perfect with only a couple of spindle trails on each side. Light play only. Near mint
Audio is great. Plays through crisp and clear with no sticks or jumps. A few light ticks for a few rotations caused by the aforementioned scratch but otherwise very little surface noise even between tracks. A great listen. EX
Sleeve
is also in nice condition. Clean and solid with only light signs of use. Spine perfectly readable. Opening edge still sharp. Original price stickers still attached to front. VG+
Original lyric inner has light signs of use and a split to the bottom but otherwise VG+
Overall a great copy of this rare first press
Will be supplied with new poly lined inners
