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.


WILDLY RARE original Sam Feldman mastered Specialty first pressing from 1988 on Elektra with green cover and printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!!  LP is VG+/VG++ with a few barely visible paper scuffs.  Cover is VG+ with some light ring.  Auction also includes an ULTRA RARE rigid two-sided 12 X 12 in-store promotional display put out by Elektra Records in 1988 with promotional text in the bottom left hand corner on the cover art side!!!  I bought this many years ago from a former Tower Records (R.I.P.) manager who was a fan of The Cubes and decided to rescue this display from the Tower wall for her own private collection (which was staggeringly impressive).  She told me that 99% of these displays were either tossed after they were displayed or never displayed at all and then tossed.  Tower staff saw them as disposable swag and clutter and as a result VERY few survived from the 1980s.  These are the kinds of early rarities Bjork fans are going to be fighting over fiercely in the very near future so don't sleep.
