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.


ULTRA RARE original first pressing of this cult indie-folk gem from 2009 on Secret Seven Records with the original fold-out lyric sheet insert and hype sticker in the top right hand corner on the poly sleeve limited to a mere 100 copies worldwide and individually hand numbered in the bottom right hand corner on the rear cover (this one is number 45 out of 100)!!!  LP has never been played or removed from the cover.  I bought this new at Reckless Records here in Chicago and filed it away in my personal collection until today when I took these pics.  Even has the original custom barcoded Reckless info labels on the rear sleeve dated May, 2009 (and listed as new so you know it's legit) from when I purchased this rarity over 15 years ago(!) at their Wicker Park location.  A stone mint, unplayed first pressing with four sharp corners and airtight provenance that can be traced to the exact month and point of purchase.  THIS is what collecting is about.  You will not be disappointed.
