IT IS ANOTHER RARE DISC JOCKEY ISSUE 1988 ALBUM BY THE POPULAR SINGER, TRACY CHAPMAN.  THE TITLE IS SELF-TITLED WITH HIS NAME.  AS FANS WILL KNOW, CHAPMAN HAD A DISTINCTIVE SOUND AND STYLE UNLIKE THE HEAVY METAL GROUPS OF THE DAY.  THE MUSIC IS UNIQUELY SOFT AND MADE FOR EASY DISTINCTIVE LISTENING.

PRODUCED BY ELECTRA RECORDS IN THE U.S., THE LP VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  EVEN UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT, I CAN NOT FIND ANY MEANINGFUL SCRATCHES THAT EFFECT PLAY.  I ALSO PLAYED THE RECORD ON BOTH SIDES, AND IT PLAYED BEAUTIFULLY.

BY THE WAY, THOSE LITTLE WHITE DOTS YOU MIGHT SEE IN THE PHOTOS OF THE SHINY VINYL ARE SIMPLY REFLECTIONS OF A CHANDELIER I HAVE HANGING OVER THE TABLE WHERE I TAKE THE PHOTOS.  THEY DEFINITELY ARE NOT ON THE VINYL ITSELF.

FOR AN ALBUM EXISTING FOR ALMOST 3 DECADES, THE ALBUM COVER IS IN OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION TO NEAR MINT CONDITION.  EVEN THE ORIGINAL RECORD SLEEVE THAT HAS THE SONG LYRICS ON IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  DISC JOCKEYS USUALLY TAKE BETTER CARE OF THEIR AUDIO DISCS THAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC SINCE IT IS THEIR LIVELIHOOD.

 - EXCELLENT MUSICAL COLLECTIBLE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE PROVEN HIGH QUALITY ENTERTAINING LP ISSUES FROM THE PAST. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE CONDITION OF THE PACKAGE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS.

AMONG THE TRACKS ARE SONGS SUCH AS, "TALKIN' BOUT A REVOLUTION," "FAST CAR," "FOR MY LOVER," "BEHIND THE WALL," ETC. BOTH THE SONGS AND STYLE OF THE SINGER WERE DISTINCTIVE AND HAD A FUN, LAID BACK FLAIR THAT YOU CAN'T HELP BUT ENJOY.  - SEE PHOTOS FOR FULL TRACK LIST.

OH SO COLLECTIBLE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE TRULY ENTERTAINING VINTAGE (AND RARE) VINYL OF THE PAST IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. 

THE VINYL LP WAS DISCOVERED AMONG A BUNCH OF OTHER SUCH SIMILAR UNUSUAL DISCS ONCE OWNED BY A DISC JOCKEY. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE OTHER SUCH RARE LP'S IN MY OTHER AUCTIONS - MANY OF THEM STILL SEALED (IF THEY HAVE NOT SOLD).

I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS AND VINYL.  AS SUCH, I HAVE POSTED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I COULD THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE ALBUM COVERS, LABELS(WHEN LP IS OPENED), THE VINYL(WHEN LP IS OPENED), ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE AS IT EXISTS.  - SEE PHOTOS.

I AM SELLING MANY ITEMS FOR A FRIEND WHO GOES OUT OF HIS WAY TO COLLECT THE UNUSUAL AND VINTAGE ALBUMS AND VINYL.  HE WORKS WITH DISC JOCKEYS, RECORD COMPANIES, AND VARIOUS BEHIND-THE-SCENES SOURCES TO ACQUIRE HIS COLLECTION.  AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE SOME OTHERS IN MY OTHER AUCTIONS THAT MAY HOLD INTEREST FOR YOU (ISSUES YOU WON'T FIND IN OTHER AUCTIONS).

WILL CAREFULLY BE SHIPPED IN A BOX ESPECIALLY DESIGNED TO TRANSPORT THESE RARE AND UNUSUAL (VINTAGE) VINYL LP RECORDS.
