Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction LP 1987 SEALED OP Uzi-Suicide/Geffen

$

119

VINYL:  SEALED / MINT

COVER:  MINT

This record is kind of a family heirloom, so I've set a reserve price for it.  It was purchased by my older brother in New York a few years before he died in a car accident at the young age of 21.  I've held on to it for twenty one years in his honor.  But honestly, I was not then and still am not a fan of Guns N' Roses.  That being said, if I had to listen to one of their albums, it would be this one I guess.   Financial considerations, storage considerations (I have a few thousand LPs here, and haven't had a fixed address for more than a few years at a time), and the thought that a truly devoted fan of GNR would treasure this more than I do have made me decide to sell it.  I think even my brother would have liked for it to "find a good home." 

This is the first pressing on Uzi-Suicide / Geffen records and has a sticker on the front stating "Features the hit song 'Sweet Child 'O Mine' and 'Welcome To The Jungle' as featured in the film THE DEAD POOL."

Additional photos showing a couple super-tiny creases about 2-inches long on the spine side of the back cover. These are only visible when looking very closely and they might even been an 'effect' of the shrink wrap, i.e. it's hard to tell if they are really part of the cardboard jacket or not, and I'm not about to open it to find out (obviously) Photo showing the former, initial adhesive price sticker that had been removed before my brother even picked up this record. Also note the slight blemish around the area Photo showing that the pressing is a Warner / Geffen pressing (along with the Uzi-suicide imprint), in response to a question I received The photo below is just an additional photo to show the spine of the record, since I realized I hadn't tried to photograph it before
