This is a mint condition unplayed copy of Morrisey's Maladjusted record released in 1997. I worked for his record company in the 90s and received this promotional copy then. I’ve never played it, it was never out of the jacket until I took the pictures today. The vinyl seems heavy to me so I weighed it in it's inner sleeve and it is 7.9 ounces. The cover has a hole punched in it through the barcode as most promo items do, indicating it’s not for sale to the general public, and usually sent out in advance. Also a little unusual the inner sleeve does not have a hole punched in it. They must’ve punched the jackets and then inserted the records in the sleeves.  I think I have taken pictures that tell the story. Let me know if you have any questions.

I have taken two extra pictures of the top of the jacket, both sides to show the impression from the LP. I don't think it is rub or ring wear per say because once this was received from the pressing plant/factory/shipping facility it has sat in my office. I believe it has more to do with the material the jacket is made of and that it is silver in color. That is just my opinion as I am not a record grader. I just know the history of this reacord. I will sell internationally with the Global Shipping Program.
