   For sale is Television's Marquee Moon, their first record, released in 1977 on Elektra Records. I bought this new and immediately put this album, like all my records, in a protective inner sleeve. This kept the original inner sleeve in a near mint condition! This is beautiful first pressing with the original "Butterfly" label with the Warner Brothers logo around the outside of the label.The cover has minor stress cracks and some color loss around the spine. There is also some sticker residue on the back cover, along with the faintest of ring wear. The vinyl is mint, though I graded it conservatively as Near Mint. It's been played on only Audiophile equipment over the years and still has a lot of life yet. This would make a great addition to anyone's collection. Having lived in New York most of my life, my collection is very heavy on the Punk/New Wave scene in N.Y.C, and the U.K. Please take a look at my other listings in my Ebay store.    I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
