Time to start clearing out some good records that I don't listen to. Here we have Gentle Giant's Acquiring the Taste in EX condition. This is, from my research, the first US pressing. Gatefold with Vertigo swirl. The original sleeve is gone and has been replace with a static free and better sleeve. I've taken good care of it and it sounds great.
Condition:
Jacket: Very good. Some usual wear at the corners and a few spots on the cover and inside. Nothing much to worry about.
Sleeve: replaced with Disckeeper sleeve
Vinyl: a few hairline scuffs that can been seen under bright lights. Mainly on side A. Side B is almost perfect. I have not given it my most thorough cleaning, so there is light surface noise until the bad kicks in. Then it's hell on wheels.
All in all, a great sounding and great looking record. Especially for its age. Feel free to ask any questions. I don't usually sell my wax, so forgive my lack of graphics and text.
