 Tom Waits
"Closing Time"
Original US pressing on Asylum label with clouds (has Artisan cut stampers in dead wax)

Up for sale is Tom Waits Closing Time, US original pressing on the Asylum label with clouds, these early pressings are pretty rare for this album.

Condition:

Jacket- VG. Still in shrink, ring wear seen on photos is just on the shrink. There is a price sticker that is on the jacket itself.

Vinyl- side 1 is graded VG, see the photo above there is a "pressing bubble" imperfection from the pressing plant (this does leave around 20 tics). Side 2 is visually VG++ very clean. Play graded this on headphones and it does play with some surface noise, particularly in the very quiet sections.

Cleaned on a VPI cleaning machine and in a new Mobile Fidelity rice paper inner sleeve.

About me:

I've sold plenty of high end vinyl on Ebay and other forums. Please check my feedback and you'll see I've sold many high value records to satisfied buyers

I use the Goldmine grading scale. Most of my vinyl is in pristine condition stored in a temperature and humidity controlled listening room, vertically in a record rack

Grading scale: NM, EXC (VG++), VG+, VG, G, P

Packed in a vinyl LP cardboard mailer
