Excellent copy of Tracy Chapman's stellar debut album on Elektra from 1988.
This is the European 1st press with the matte finish sleeve, and comes with the lyric inner.
Sleeve has a touch of wear top right on the front cover but otherwise is in lovely shape, and grades Excellent.
The vinyl plays through really nicely for the most part with barely any surface noise - the one exception is a mark towards the end of Side 1 (pictured) which isn't feelable but does deliver soft tics.
The lyric inner sleeve is in really super condition with no damage, seam splits or notable wear - it grades Excellent.
I will supply the vinyl in a shaped anti-static inner sleeve, and it will be packed safely separate to the lyric inner and outer sleeve.
The black and red Elektra labels are in Excellent condition.
A-2 1-B matrices.
Great album, highly collectable, and a lovely copy.
Offers above the start price welcome.
