Description

Unbelievably clean true first pressing of Guns N' Roses Appetite for Destruction with the original banned cover artwork from 1987, still in the shrink with the unused tattoo insert included.

Comes complete with the original inner sleeve, which has no damage. The jacket itself has no seam splits and presents close to mint.

The vinyl is exceptionally clean as well, appearing either unplayed or only played a handful of times. If you’ve been looking to upgrade your copy, this is the one — it would be very hard to find a cleaner example.

Please feel free to message me with any questions.
