Description
Ok, here goes. About twice a year, I temporarily lose my mind and decide to sell things that I should not sell. This is one of those times...
Original complete early 1st German pressing on Noise records, N0017. Pristine black labels. This cover has to be one of the most notoriously difficult to find in excellent condition because it's ALL BLACK. I'll be honest... I've collected CF records for almost 30 years. I have every version of all of their releases, some releases I have up to 20 copies each in varying conditions from VG+ to NM. And considering I don't use "mint" as a grade, this is the 2nd nicest copy I've ever had (I have one even better that is truly NM but that will probably never leave me. Of course, being all black, any slight, microscopic defect sticks out like a sore thumb. However, you have to look pretty damn close to see the pin head sized marks in the edges and corners of this piece. It has a couple super fine crease marks. No splits, no writing, no dents, tears, holes or other major problems at all. There is a price tag on the back but who cares, I'm leaving it there. You can take it off if you like but to me, the risk is greater than the reward.
The LP has only a very few microscopic sleeve scuffs and a couple extremely fine hairlines that you really need glasses and 100W LED to see. That's it. 90% of sellers would call this NM, but I'm picky, so it's EX all the way. You just won't find many, if any, nicer copies for sale. This record is so highly sought after because of the fact that they're mostly in the hands of collectors who will die before selling them...unless they're temporarily insane, like me right now.
The poster has been used by the previous owner...There are two pinholes at the top and <1" tear at the crease on the right. Other than that, it's in EX condition also. The original early inner Noise promo sleeve is, well, perfect. Incredibly, there are NO SPLITS in this. Almost impossible to find!
This is an investment grade piece, and I have to protect my investment. I PAID over $200 for this. Thus, the minimum bid reflects that. I don't HAVE to sell this, but I wanted to make it available to the right buyer who is looking for a next to perfect copy of this landmark, genre defining album. If this is you, then hit the buy it now and I'll pack this thing like a tank. Good luck and if it goes, I hope it goes to a good home. :-)

I package records the way I wish to receive them: with the utmost care and attention. LPs ship outside the cover to avoid seam splits. I use high quality mailers with reinforcement and corner protection. No one goes to the lengths I do to ensure your record gets to you in the exact condition as it left here.
