RARE Bruce Springsteen The Rising LP Double Vinyl C2 86600
The cover of this album is a thick textured paper. The sleeve is uneven and has apparently suffered some light water damage, resulting in slight uneven warping on the sleeve. However, there is no staining due to water on the inner or outer sleeve. Some slight bending also evident on the corners. You can feel the damage when you run your hand along the back and front cover. The photo of the sleeve opening shows the type of warping that is on the sleeve.
The custom inner sleeves are in good condition. Seams are intact. There is some light texture on one side of an inner sleeve, possibly related to damage experienced on the front cover.
The vinyl LPs are in nice shape. They show minimal sign of play with clean and even labels. A few light scratches are evident in bright light, but I'm getting great sound on my turntable during both loud and quiet passages. I've cleaned the LP, but still see some finger prints on side 1 and 2. Similar prints are on 3 and 4 despite cleaning. Again, clean and crisp play.
I have tried to summarize any issues with the sleeve and vinyl. Please let me know if you want additional images or details on this album.
Please contact for international shipping rates or information.
LPs will be packed in LP mailer with albums packed in new white inner sleeves. The vinyl will be shipped outside of the cover, in a plastic sleeve. Insurance for the LP available on request.
