Condition Description & Other Information
Background & History HIM (originally  was a Finnish Hardrock, Goth, Metal Band founded in 1991. Their first release was the demo EP 666 Ways To Love: Prologue, which was released in 1996 and is the only thing they released under their original name. By the time they released their debut full-length Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666 in 1997, the name had been shortened to HIM to make their name easier on the Finnish tongue as well as to tone down the more occult elements of their public image. With their second album, Razorblade Romance, HIM gained exposure all over Europe as the track "Join Me" was included in the European version of the movie The Thirteenth Floor. Their fourth album, Love Metal, expanded their popularity to the U.S., giving them the status of world-wide rock stars. The album Dark Light spawned the hit "Wings of a Butterfly", which became the band's biggest US hit and made Dark Light the first album by a Finnish act to go gold in the US. The band disbanded in 2017. 
Condition Report  The Single Sided, Etched, Clear with Glitter Vinyl is described as Near Mint which it played to today & with virtually no background & no skips or stops. Very few signs of play. Maybe 1 or 2 extremely fine hairlines and/or sleeve marks.  two or three spindle marks only. There maybe a few fine hairlines & sleeve marks but I can't see them even under a powerful light. The Vinyl has retained nearly all of its rich waxy lustre. The Translucent Plastic Cover is described as Excellent. There is some visible edge/spine & corner-wear. There is some minor ring wear & creases to translucent thick plastic cover. No seam splits.  Please see attached photos...
