Super copy of the classic 1990 Warner Bros LP by ZZ Top, ‘Recycler’, 7599-26265-1/UK: WX 390, 1-A/1-B5 Matrix Suffixes, a FIRST (and, I would think, only) PRESSING, made in Germany for the European market, hence the addition of the UK catalogue number.
Glossy finish sleeve has a few light edge creases and just a little corner wear, concomitant with use and storage, and is otherwise very clean indeed. Very glossy and clean, colour superb, and the sleeve has a wonderful structure, no flattening of spine, for example. Sleeve certainly grades EX overall, possibly slightly better.
Illustrated inner in superb shape, easily grades EX+.
Vinyl is flat, no warp, and plays very strongly indeed, fantastic, loud stereo audio. There are a couple of very light hairlines on both sides, but these cause nothing more than the very occasional light click and a little light background noise between tracks, but very minor. These issues are all quite minor, mentioned for absolute transparency and, overall, the vinyl certainly grades EX and, in the main, EX+ for audio.
I will combine shipping costs, so please check my other listings.
