EMI Pressing
Issued with purple or white inner-sleeve.
Recorded in London
© 1986 Warner Bros. Music Ltd.
Made in England
Distributed by The Cartel
Back of sleeve credits read: Cover photograph of James from the collection of David Loehr
[Actually this is James Dean photographed in 1948 by Nelva Jean Thomas. Loehr supplied the photo.]
First copies come with a purple sticker on the front cover quoting 'plus Money changes everything and Unloveable RTT192' (No longer on this copy)
Vinyl Condition is VG has a few small light surface marks when held in a strong light, side one plays through at least VG+, side two has some crackle at the start then a few small crackles here and there but none that over powers the music at all
Sleeve Condition is VG has a little cornerwear, and a little surfacewear on the top of the rear cover. I wouldn’t say far from VG+ condition
Inner Condition is G+ has a rip in the bottom as seen in photos otherwise in a very good condition
