FIRST EDITION: R.E.M. Fables of the Reconstruction, vinyl LP, 1985, vg+ cond

This is a record that was owned by my late brother who collected vinyl but never played them. He took a lot of care of all his records on custom racks so they are all in pristine condition. 
This first edition LP is in vg+ condition in all aspects, unusual for a record of this age.
Catalogue number: MIRF 1003

NOTES
The way the sleeve is laid out, the cover is upside down if it is held the traditional way with the spine to the left and the opening is to the right.

Includes printed inner sleeve.

MADE IN ENGLAND - On label rim text
Made in Great Britain version here 

"Mastered by Jack Skinner at Sterling Sound" is written on the inner sleeve but the runout has POUNDA TA1PE which means this copy was mastered by Geoff Pesche at Tape One.

General Info

I try and grade condition but please note that a lot of gradings are on a visual basis only as simply not the time to play all the vinyl and CDs listed.

Vinyl will be sent out with card stiffeners either side of item for protection. Vinyl will also be removed from outer sleeve to prevent any splitting in post. If housed in inner picture, lyric sleeves, then vinyl will be placed in plain white paper sleeves again to prevent any splitting in the post.

CDs will be posted in small jiffy bags with an additional card stiffener. Box sets are sent out in sturdy boxes.    

Parcels will generally be sent out the next business day after payment.

Please look out for my other auctions as I will be listing more vinyl and CDs over the coming months. 

Any issue on receipt please contact me in first instance to resolve.  Thank you for looking at my auction.
