Merry Christmas! This LP is mint/brand new and is sealed and has never been opened.  It is as minty as it was back in 1989.  The Ocean Blue LP is featuring song Between Something and Nothing.  Each side is the same song and each side plays for 4:02.  The sealed 12" album is not warped.  There is a price sticker on the upper-right side of the album.  9-19-89 and the price of $.99 is stamped on the sticker.  This truly is mint quality condition.  I just returned from The Ocean Blue concert in Philadelphia on 11/21.

The Ocean Blue‘s debut record on the famed  label in 1989 achieved widespread acclaim and radio &  airplay. The band of four high schoolers from  went on to do two more well-received records for Sire, the atmospheric Cerulean and alt pop Beneath the Rhythm and Sound, and a fourth record for Mercury/PolyGram.  The band formed in in , is an American band that combines melodic guitars and synthesizers. Its core original members included David Schelzel (born September 26, 1967) on lead vocals/guitar, Steve Lau on keyboards/saxophone, Bobby Mittan on bass guitar and Rob Minnig on drums and vocals.  Its current line-up includes David Schelzel on lead vocals/guitar, Oed Ronne on keyboards/guitar/vocals, Bobby Mittan on bass guitar and Peter Anderson on drums.

The band's sound may be best described as jangly guitar-based modern rock. Influences include such bands as , , , and . The Ocean Blue's earliest shows always consisted of a healthy dose of covers by these bands. To this day, The Smiths and New Order covers still punctuate concert encores.  On 11/21 at the concert in Philadelphia, the Ocean Blue covered songs from The Psychedelic Furs and New Order as encores.
