PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


MEGA RARE original first pressing from 1979 on Columbia with TML (The Mastering Lab) dead wax stamp, glossy black & white printed inner sleeves with complete lyrics, original paper title sheet insert with catalog number at the bottom, NO barcode and NO band member names on the inside gatefold!!!  Subsequent pressing had all four band member names in a single brick underneath the headmaster on the right hand side of the inside gatefold (see photo #8 for an example) and a barcode in the top right hand corner on the rear cover as UPC technology was integrated in the early 1980s!!!  LPs are a beautiful VG++/NM- and cover is a beautiful VG++ as well with barely a hint of ring.  A high grade copy of this rarity in collector condition.  You will not be disappointed.

I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
