This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.


Fully play-tested: There are a few very minor scuff marks visible only under bright light, but with no audible effect. Otherwise the album looks and sounds almost brand new!


The album jacket includes the EMBOSSED LETTERING, in beautiful condition with original hype sticker. No visible ring-wear or other notable flaws. I do note some very minor creasing on the back near the spine (see closeup pic).

The inner sleeve is in awesome condition as well!

This pressing was manufactured in Germany (most audiophiles feel that these were the best pressings of this time period). All writing and labels are in English, identical to the American release. This is an excellent pressing!

The vinyl has been cleaned, handled with audiophile gloves (not hands), and stored and ships in an audiophile-quality anti-static inner sleeve. I also always store and ship albums in a protective 3 mil. plastic sleeve to keep these precious albums in excellent condition. This costs me a bit more, but it's worth it to ensure a high-quality record stays as pristine as possible.

Rest assured that you are buying this from a fellow fan who loves this album (I'm only selling it because I have multiple copies) and has fully listened to it and fairly graded. I want to respect your purchase and make sure this record is appreciated by the next owner. Check out my listings for hundreds of other albums from the 1980s, including other Van Halen and David Lee Roth albums. I always combine shipping for only $1 extra per additional record. Please just add them to your cart and checkout all at once.

I always properly pack and ship records quickly (from Florida, usually within 1 business day). Note that I fairly grade, provide detailed descriptions, and never use A.I. to write these, as doing so would be disrespectful to the buyer.
