Original 1991 US vinyl pressing on Island Records. This of course is the original uncensored cover. Hard to find these days. Bought new and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment. Played only 1-2 times for digital archiving. Nice copy.
EX cover is clean with no markings of any kind. Corners are strong and sharp with no wear. Spine and edges are strong with no wear. There is the beginnings of a small seam split on bottom center. (see photo) Other than this slight seam split, I would rate this NM. EX inner sleeve is clean with no markings, tears or creases. There are seam splits on 3 sides. Corners have some very mild wear but are still strong and sharp. NM insert is clean with no markings, tears or creases. Corners are strong and sharp with no wear. NM vinyl is clean and glossy with a few very minor sleeve scuffs. Has no effect on the sound quality of the record. No other marks of any kind. Played only 1-2 times for digital archiving. Very nice.
I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection. Much tender loving care has gone into this collection. I have digitally archived all my albums. These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins. All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment. Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed. Stay tuned!
Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):
Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect Near Mint means just shy of perfect Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
