Up for auction is my copy of Belle & Sebastian's indie rock classic "The Boy With the Arab Strap". This is an Original pressing from 1998 on Matador Records. It is the 150g edition. Runout wax reads: J̶P̶R̶L̶P̶ ̶0̶0̶3̶ ̶A̶-̶2̶-̶1̶-̶ OLE-311-A2 Tim D. Masterpiece.
The vinyl on this one is in VG+/EX- condition; I had to look very close under a light to find two very superficial marks that I cannot imagine influencing playback. The sleeve is also in VG+/EX- condition as there is no significant damage to report. I did see one tiny tiny dot of white on the cover but I had to look super carefully.
Check out my other auctions! I'm selling off my whole record collection. It's eclectic.
**I will ship the item wrapped in bubble wrap in a cardboard LP mailer. Unless you specifically contact me to request otherwise, I will ship with the disc outside of the main jacket to protect the seams from damage in transit. I do not currently have access to a turntable, so I must visually grade my records. If you have any questions or would like to see more photos, reach out. I am not a professional seller, just a longtime collector who has decided to sell them all off.**
