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.


WILDLY RARE original European/German first pressing from April 17, 1982 on Bronze with grey artist text on the front cover, original printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics and detachable mail-in coupon for a free Motorhead patch from Ariola Eurodisc and rim text on the labels that coves more than half of the circle!!!  Side A is VG+ with a few light paper scuffs and side 2 is VG++ with even fewer and lighter paper scuffs.  Cover is VG with some edge wear and a few small creases.  Even has the original Record Breakers (represent, Chicago!) price sticker affixed to the protective poly outer sleeve from when I purchased this rarity around 14 or 15 years ago at their old Halsted Street location above Reggie's Rock Club sometime in the late 2000s.  THAT'S provenance.



I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~ MINT (SEALED)  NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
