For sale is Only A Lad, the debut album by everyone's favorite College Rock band, Oingo Boingo. The record comes on glow-in-the-dark vinyl, and is complete with its original outer sleeve, insert / lyric sheet, and an upgraded antistatic black paper inner sleeve, with the original hype sticker attached. This is the 2022 rerelease of the album by the now-defunct Rubellan Remasters record label. And if they hype sticker is anything to go off of, it was limited to 500 copies worldwide.
The set is in nice condition overall, though it does show a few dings and creases to the front cover. I am the original owner of this album and bough it brand new from the label, but it was unfortunately a little roughed-up during shipping. Thankfully, the jacket still displays very well, and the back looks nice while the spine is completely unblemished. The printed insert / lyric sheet is fully intact with no rips, tears, or creases.  
The record, itself, has never been played! I opened it up to check out the glow action (which, frankly, is a little weak...) and placed it into a nicer poly-lined black sleeve. I also carefully removed the original hype sticker from the outer shrinkwrap and stuck it to the corner of the sleeve, as shown. While the record has never been played - and has only ever been handled two or three times, tops - it might need a gently cleaning prior to playback, to knock loose any wayward dust.
