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.


STILL SEALED original ST-11497 pressing on Capitol from 1976 with NO barcode and NO cutouts, punch holes, saw notches or corner clips whatsoever.  This is not a record club pressing.  This is a genuine store-bought copy that was never opened.  Between the title track, Rock 'N Me and Take the Money And Run this album is simply essential listening for any fan of music and an indispensable classic.  Four sharp corners.  Even has the original $6.00/$4.49 Rolling Stone Records (represent, Chicago!) price sticker in the top right hand corner on the front cover with iconic balloon lettering.  A stone mint original pressing with airtight provenance that serious collectors like myself love that can be traced to the exact point of purchase.  This is what collecting is about.  You will not be disappointed.  Don't miss it.
