You are buying the Robert Rauschenberg designed edition of the Talking Heads' Speaking In Tongues. The plastic sleeve has some small marks.

I bought this while in grad school in 2005. When I bought it, it was still in the shrink-wrap, unopened. I've played it under five times. I played it before listening to it, and the record has some surface noise here and there so I'm listing it as VG.

I will ship the record in a plain sleeve inside an audiophile sleeve so the record doesn't jostle inside the plastic sleeve. And I will mail the record priority using a large box.

Before I ship each item, I take a short video to document the condition of the item and how I packed the shipment for any claim.

Pictures are part of the description.

I am not a smoker.

I use USPS Priority because it comes with insurance, tracking, and arrives in the hands the buyer quickly. That method best protects the buyer and the item doesn't sit in the mail.

In the rare event USPS damages the item in transit, either one of us can file a claim. Please note, that if you would like me to to file the claim, you will need to mail the item and the original mailing package back. USPS needs to see both the item and the package.

NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.

NO P.O. BOXES.
