Martin Rev is the debut solo album by Martin Rev. It was released in February 1980 on Lust/Unlust Music via their Infidelity imprint. The album showcases the cerebral synth-pop sensibilities of its artist, who was one half of the pioneering synthpunk duo Suicide (along with Alan Vega).
THIS COPY is a 1st Infidelity pressing from 1980. (See Notes below.)  The vinyl is in excellent condition except for an ugly scratch between tracks 1 and 2 on side two.  I have included the last photo to show this scratch, but per a test listen, it did not affect playback in any way.  As a result, I am grading it as Very Good [VG] based on Goldmine guidelines, but please do be aware that it has that bit of ugliness - otherwise, the disc is still shiny.  The original cover is in Very Good [VG] or better condition, the only negative being some rubbing along the title edge. The inner sleeve is plain white; I believe that is the original.
