Horizontal lines visible at back and front are neither on shrink nor on sleeve's paper. Indian lps never released sealed in shrink. There were two type of covers - 1 printed on plain cardboard and 2 printed on palin cardboard and then laminated. Laminated sleeve looks more glossy /shiny. If lamination is poor then there will be air trapped between the printed surface and polythene used for lamination. More examples where poor lamination is visible are - poorly pressed scratch guard screen for mobile phones and also sun block film on automobile windows. It was very common with almost every LP manufactured by CBS in India around mid 80s. There are several CBS India LPs listed by other ebay sellers and if you check following auction numbers, you will find same type of lines (more or less) on every LP. 360986407898 360986408666 261529565115 261529575202 261529565145 360968483917 360969957431 360970106370 261529565076 261529566815 310992200180 You can not remove lamination like shrink, it is more difficult and may damage the cover. All images from actual item only. What you see here is exactly what you get. Bright spot on some pics is due to camera flash. Any western artist's LP in India is always a rare item because of limited pressings due to very narrow listener base. And like in any other tropical country, heat and dust plays an important part in quick degradation of lp and sleeve. I have tried to describe anything unusual that naked eye can detect. Please check the pics yourself and in case of any question/doubts/wants, feel free to contact me.

Bruce Springsteen : Born In The USA (Made In INDIA)

Hand written matrix : CBS 10109 A MSO / CBS 10109 B MSO

Extremely rare and hard to find LP. So far i have come across only 4 Springsteen's LPs from India. Darkness At The Edge Of Town is rarest then comes Born In The USA, then Born To Run and then Nebraska. Never ever come across any 7 inch record though they were is existence till 1980 or 1981. After that most of the companies stopped producing EP / 45 of western artists. LPs existed few more years but i rarely see any LP of any western artist manufactured after 1986. So, i am not shure whether Tunnel Of Love was produced in India or not.
