READ THIS! These records are NOT sold for perfect sound quality.

They’re sold for their scarcity and VISUAL grading. They’ve been in storage for a decade, and they WILL play with surface noise that can be addressed with D4 or a VPI cleaning.  I can’t test-play at the minute.

Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.

So with that said…

Dinosaur Jr. 1988 LP Bug First Pressing Virgin Vinyl NM in Shrink, GORGEOUS Copy!

SST Records

**This is not a recent reissue!  It’s the rare first pressing!

Vinyl--- NM/NM.  Bought the album new after the reviews mentioned that it’s a DMM pressing.  Direct Metal Mastering was the premiere analogue technology of the time, and these discs sound great.  I played the album once to transfer it to a DMM cassette, which was my play copy.  Vinyl condition is one of those copies that makes you go “Wow” out loud.

Plates--- SST-216-A 21759 1-1 K DISC DMM JG/ SST-216-B 21759 1-1 X DISC DMM JG

Cover--- NM, still in shrinkwrap.  Original price tag still affixed to front.

Labels--- NM/NM.  They look as newly-printed as they did in 1988.  NO SPINDLE MARKS on Side 1.  Side 2 has two light ones.

Inner Sleeve--- Generic white sleeve, NO SPLITS.

RESPLENDENT beautiful copy!  Nice and rare LP would make a great Christmas gift for your collector of great 80’s and 90’s Alternative music!

CAUTION!  There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids.  A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!

(Please note:  Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized.  The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle.  Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix?  Thanks!)
