here it is QOTSA fans the green Queens of the stone age mans ruin first press from 1998 . this still even has the original shrink wrap on it so the gatefold has never even been opened.  I have not seen an authentic one of these for probably 8 or so years so pick it up while you have the chance. Id say its in excellent condition and was only played a couple times. there are a few things to look for when buying one of these. the first is that its a translucent green and not solid green. the second thing is make sure the matrix numbers are etched directly across from each other . then you want to look at the sleeve. the front covers graphic should continue up and over the top and into the center section or the inside of the gatefold. also the sleeve should be pretty rigid and if its flimsy and bends easily from its own weight its a reissue. the last is something that Ive noticed that no one else seems to write about is a small triangular indentation on the center of the records label . see the 4th picture I put up. these indentations must have been from something in the pressing machine (probably a piece of hard wax) during the colored versions press because I've seen it on the 1st press green , yellow and blue band only edition. I have them all and they all have it. its not on the 1st press black edition. any questions just ask guys
