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 Specialty BMG Direct Marketing Inc. first pressing from 1988 on Elektra with NO barcode, matte (not glossy) printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics and alternate catalog number R 153582 (exclusive to this sole pressing) to the left of the center hole on the labels and top right hand corner on the rear cover!!!  LP side 2 is VG with some light scuffs and side 1 is VG+ with even fewer and lighter scuffs.  Cover is a very nice VG+ with a hint of ring at the top.  Includes the devastatingly beautiful Fast Car, one of the best songs in the history of recorded music in this collector's never humble opinion.  How can anyone not get misty-eyed when that snare drum cracks and the chorus kicks in?  If you're not moved by that song it may be time to have your soul checked.  Every music fan in the world should own this LP if not just for that song but the entire album is stellar.


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
