This record was imported all the way from Melbourne, AUS to my hands in Toronto, ON. The record in the pictures is the one you will get.


Vinyl looks neat and glossy on both sides. Close inspection shows some tiny scratches on both sides. On side 1 during the quiet intro to Superbug, you can hear some hiss and pop, but it doesn’t return after that. Overall some signs of handling, but no issues on the vinyl sound quality. I played the record maybe three or four times. Vinyl Grading: EX


The matte laminated sleeve is a nice and feels great to the touch, but unfortunately it lends itself to being scuffed easier, especially being that it’s black(see pictures). Looking at the front cover, both right and left sides you can notice vertical scuffs, made simply from removing the sleeve from the custom paper bag. These scuffs are sort of invisible if you’re not looking carefully, but definitely visible under certain light/angles. Small inch long crease on front left cover. The inner sleeve came delivered with a seam split (see picture). Sleeve

Grading: EX


Poster has never been fully folded out.


Paper bag has a rigid, sturdy quality and it fits the record snuggly.


I will handle and ship everything with care and hey, I’ll even throw in a red Flightless tote to sweeten the deal.


Good luck!
