FOR PERSONAL REASONS, I AM LOWERING THE PRICES ON ALL MY VINYL AND AUCTIONS - MANY FAR BELOW COMPETITIVE.  MAKES FOR SOME RARE ITEMS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AT LOW PRICES - THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS FOR COLLECTORS.

THIS IS A RARE COPY OF THE 1989 L.L. COOL J RECORD ALBUM LP ENTITLED, "WALKING WITH A PANTHER."  IT IS DEFINITELY RARE IN THE U.S. AS I BELIEVE THIS MAY WELL BE THE ONLY COPY AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. AS I POST THIS AUCTION.

THIS WAS A PASSIONATE ALBUM  FOR L.L. BACK IN THE EIGHTIES.  HE WANTED TO PROVE A POINT VIA HIS MUSIC, AND PERFORMANCES SHOWED THAT.  I TRULY THINK THIS WAS AMONG HIS BEST ALBUMS, AND HE WAS AT HIS SINGING BEST.  FANS KNOW THE STORY.   OF COURSE, L.L. WENT ON TO BECOME A BIG TV & MOVIE STAR.

THE LP WAS PRODUCED BY DEF FAM RECORDINGS/COLUMBIA. THE LP COMES THE ORIGINAL PHOTO RECORD SLEEVE.  THE ALBUM COVER SHOWS NO REAL SIGNS OF WEAR. - SEE PHOTOS.

IT IS A LIGHT CARDBOARD DESIGN AND THE FRONT COVER HAS A SLIGHT TENDENCY TO WARP (NOT THE VINYL RECORD - JUST THE FRONT COVER OF THE ALBUM COVER).  IT IS BASICALLY A NON-ISSUE, BUT IT IS MY JOB TO MENTION EVERY THING I CAN OBSERVE.  YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE IT IN THE PHOTOS.  I CAN SEE NO REASON FOR IT AS THERE IS NO DAMAGE AND IT HURTS NOTHING, BUT I THOUGHT I SHOULD MENTION IT.  I THINK IT WAS JUST OVER THE YEARS BY PEOPLE GRABBING THE FRONT COVER TO PULL THE VINYL OUT.  BEING LIGHT CARDBOARD RATHER THAN HEAVY, THE CARDBOARD SIMPLY TENDED TO "BARELY" WARP TOWARDS THE PERSON DOING THE RECORD PULLING.  THE BACK OF THE COVER DOES NOT DO THAT.  EITHER WAY, IT IS VERY MINOR, AND I PROBABLY SHOULD NOT HAVE WASTED ALL THIS SPACE TRYING TO EXPLAIN A BASIC NON-ISSUE.  THAT'S ON ME. 

THE VINYL IS EXCELLENT AND PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES. 

GREAT TRACK LIST - SEE PHOTOS OF ALBUM COVER. 

OVERALL, THIS MAKES AN EXCELLENT QUALITY PACKAGE THAT I CAN SEE NO REASON WHY IT WOULD DISAPPOINT ANY L. L. COOL J FAN.    

THE GOOD NEWS, ALSO, IS THAT IT SHIPS FROM THE U.S. (NOT OVERSEAS). THAT SAVES A TON OF SHIPPING COSTS.  PLUS, HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO RETURN AN LP OVERSEAS - I HAVE, IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.  I'M JUST SAYING.....

THIS IS A MUSICAL COLLECTIBLE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE PROVEN HIGH QUALITY AND VALUABLE ENTERTAINING VINTAGE LP ISSUES FROM THE PAST. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE CONDITION OF THE PACKAGE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS AND DESCRIBED ABOVE.     

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. I BELIEVE I POST MORE PHOTOS OF EACH ITEM IN EVERY AUCTION THAN MOST SELLERS SO THE BUYER CAN SEE THE HIGH QUALITY THEY ARE BUYING.
