English Dogs - Where Legend Began LP. 1st US Pressing. Combat Core. 1986. Thrash Metal . Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
Only the first US pressing of this album is on Combat Core Records. The UK version is on Under One Flag Records. Both have the Gate-fold cover, while other pressings do not. 
This record looks to be in pretty good shape. There are a handful of scratches and smudges. A few of them are quite long but almost all appear to be Very Light and unlikely to be a problem. There is one single short scratch that could potentially be more significant, but still not likely anything bad enough to cause a skip or disturb the listening much. There may be a few audible pops and clicks here and there, mostly noticeable in the quiet sections and / or between songs. VG
No insert was included with this release.
The cover is also in very good shape all around. There is very minor ring wear visible only at the top and bottom middle areas of the front and back. One of the 6 corner tips has what I would call Severe wear and it starting to split for just one inch of the bottom edge only. The rest of the corners are pretty good with only Light to Moderate-Light wear. The spine edge has only Light wear and almost of the title text is intact. A couple letters may be worn or partially worn away. (see pictures) The shelf edge has Severe wear and a 3 inch seam split but only on one shelf edge (there are 2 because this is a gate-fold cover.) The other shelf edge only has Moderate level wear. Iver all this cover still looks really good and rates VG

Grades that I use are G-, G, G+, G++, G+++, VG, VG+, VG++, VG+++/EX, NM. I won't be describing anything as M or MINT unless it is unopened and the packaging is completely unblemished. Records that have never been played but HAVE been opened, will be described as Near Mint or NM. These are the adjectives that I use when describing damage: Very Light, Light, Moderate, Severe, Catastrophic. To describe damage in between those ranks I say things like: "Moderate leaning towards Severe," "Moderate leaning towards light," or "In between Light and Moderate"...just for example.
