I love vinyl LP's, but I've decided I can't keep all the ones I have.  This is a Cranberries album, To the Faithful Departed, from 1996.  I bought it new when it was released.
This is not your standard album.  There is no jacket; instead the record is folded in a large nine-panel poster.  The record is translucent yellow vinyl.  The poster and record are enclosed in a clear plastic cover.
Condition: The poster is made of thick paper, and has some wear on the corners and folds.  The poster has the original hype sticker.  The clear plastic cover has several stains.  It also has a sticker with the track list and other information, and a price tag.  I estimate that it's in Ex condition.
The record is in a thicker-than-usual magenta sleeve.
The (yellow) record has no wear, only a small amount of dust.  There are no scratches.  I estimate that it's in NM condition.
Included is a mail-in card for more information on The Cranberries.  It is creased at the bottom.
Release:  I'm not good at telling record release date/edition.  The label is Island.  There are a bunch of letters and numbers on the sticker on the clear plastic cover: "ILPS 8048/524 234-1 LC 0407 PY 281".  Perhaps some of that is the catalog number.
I wrap records in bubble wrap and send in a record mailer.  I will remove the record and sleeve from the jacket for shipping to minimize any seam wear.  Shipping is Priority Mail or Media Mail, your choice.  I'll be happy to answer any questions about this item.
