AMAZING EXCELLENT CONDITION COPY OF THE EMO CLASSIC BY MINERAL, THE POWER OF FAILING.  THIS IS AN ORIGINAL PRESSING ON CRANK!
INFO ON THE BAND FROM WIKIPEDIA:

Mineral was a prominent mid-90s  band originally from , Texas, but soon relocated to  following their formation. All four members of Mineral were signed to  on individual contracts. Its former members have since moved on to other musical projects including , , and .

Mineral's music is characterized by its iterated soft/loud structure, overlaid with melodic, off-key vocals and ethereal guitar-based instrumental . Many of their songs adhere to the formulas and now ubiquitous stylistic conventions associated with "emo" pioneers . Mineral's subtle balance between angst-ridden kinetics and wistful underpinnings, in conjunction with their intelligent lyrics, have heavily influenced many bands of the late 1990s and 2000s.

In 2010, a compilation CD of all the band's songs (except for "Sadder Star", from the First Crush comp) was released in Japan, entitled "The Complete Collection".

**GRADING SCALE (COURTESY OF GOLD MINE):

MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.

NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.

WOL --- Writing on label

WOJ --- Writing on jacket

WLP --- White label promo

GPS --- Gold promo stamp
