Own a piece of industrial music history with this original US pressing of Front 242's "Front By Front" LP on black vinyl. Released in 1988 under the Wax Trax record label, this play tested really nice. I heard one "pop" during the first track and all good after that. Cover is in really good shape. Original inner sleeve has two seam splits but looks good. Overall a really solid copy.


VINYL CONDITION: VG+

COVER CONDITION: VG++

INNER SLEEVE: VG+

NOTES: Play tested really nice. I heard one "pop" during the first track and all good after that. Cover is in really good shape. Original inner sleeve has two seam splits but looks good. Overall a really solid copy.


Records are graded using the Goldmine system, shown below for reference:

Sealed: Jacket sealed in shrink wrap or other original packaging. The vinyl in this case is sold as-is or not graded.


NM (Near Mint): No visible defects. No writing, stickers, spindle marks, or any other imperfections on label. Appears unplayed and unhandled.


VG++: May have some light wear including sleeve scuffs or other superficial marks that will not affect play.


VG+: Will have some light wear that may include sleeve scuffs, very light scratches, or other superficial marks.


VG: Similar imperfections to a VG+ record, but they're either more pronounced, or there is a higher number of imperfections.


VG-: Many light scratches or scuffs. Any record with an isolated defect such as a single scratch that can be felt with a fingernail will have a VG- grade or lower. The record will not skip but some noise is expected.


G: Many imperfections, including but not limited to scratches that can be felt with a fingernail. A lot of background noise, clicks, and pops should be expected with this grade.

As a former record store owner, I have a lot of experience with vinyl.  All used vinyl is inspected closely, play tested and rated conservatively and accurately according to the Goldmine Grading guide.  I am also a huge music fan and I know how disappointing it is to get a record that was not graded properly.  Most used vinyl comes in a anti-static inner sleeve and the original inner sleeve is kept inside the cover.  Records are shipped outside the cover to prevent splitting during shipping in a poly-bag.  If you wish to combine shipping please let me combine the items and adjust the invoice before you pay.
