**THIS COPY HAS ONLY EVER BEEN A FEW TIMES FROM NEW SO PLAYGRADES IN NEARLY MINT**
THE LP WAS RELEASED IN 1994 AND IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND EXCEPT IN REISSUE FORM. IN 1994 CD WAS THE MAIN FORMAT AND VINYL LPS OFTEN SAW EITHER NO RELEASES OR LIMITED AMOUNTS. LaFACE / ARISTA RECORDS RELEASED THIS VINYL PRESSING IN LIMITED NUMBERS SO THIS ORIGINAL PRESSING IS INCREASINGLY RARE.
THESE RARELY COME UP FOR SALE ESPECIALLY VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED. UNFORTUNATELY MY SHELVES ARE FULL AND ITS TIME TO PASS SOME OF MY COLLECTION ON.
THE VINYL ALBUM IS PLAYGRADED OVERALL AT BETWEEN MINT MINUS AND EXCELLENT PLUS PLUS SIMPLY AS IT HAS BEEN PLAYED SO LITTLE. IT HAS NO CRACKLE (EXCEPT WHERE SAMPLED AND INTENTIONAL), SKIPS OR JUMPS. A SEMINAL ALBUM WHICH FEATURES MY FAVOURITE TLC TRACK 'WATERFALLS'

A3 KICK YOUR GAME (FEAT UNCREDITED JERMAINE DUPRI)
A4 DIGGIN' ON YOU
A5 CRAZYSEXYCOOL (INTERLUDE)

B6 SWITCH (VOCALS TREY LORENZ)
B7 SOMETHIN' WICKED THIS WAY COMES (FEAT RAP UNCREDITED ANDRE BENJAMIN AND VOCALS CEE-LO)
IT HAS ONLY BEEN OUT OF ITS INNER SLEEVE A FEW TIMES (I THEN ARCHIVED IT AND PLAYED THE CD) AND TODAY TO CHECK/PHOTOGRAPH THE VINYL.
BOTH SIDES LOOK MINTY AND SHINY WITH A FEW HARD TO SEE WHISPY PAPER SCUFFS FROM TAKING OUT OF THE INNER SLEEVE. VISUALLY ID GRADE IT AT EX+ BUT IT PLAYGRADES A BIT HIGHER UP TO MINT MINUS.
(ALL GRADINGS ARE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR GRADINGS).
THE LABELS GRADE IN MINT MINUS (PLEASE SEE PICS).
THE SLEEVE GRADES MOSTLY AT EXCELLENT MINUS HOWEVER THERE IS ABIT OF SHELF/SPINE DAMAGE (SEE PICTURE 8 ABOVE) SO THE SLEEVE IS NOT PERFECT SADLY. **I HAVE ADJUSTED THE LISTING PRICE DOWN TO REFLECT THIS MINOR ISSUE (WHICH DOES NOT AFFECT THE SOUND)**
THIS VINYL LIMITED ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING RARELY COMES UP FOR SALE AND IS NOT A LOWER QUALITY OR MODERN REISSUE.
I grade strictly to the Rare Record Grading System. I do not ever describe records as 'used' and I try to be as informative as possible and include a definition of grading below:
Rare Record Collector Grading: EX++ (EXCELLENT PLUS PLUS)
EXCELLENT++: The record shows minor signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. May have a very occasional hint of static eg in the run ins but not affecting the music quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing
WHY BUY FROM ME? IM A COLLECTOR AND I PLAYGRADE ACCORDING TO RARE RECORD COLLECTOR GRADINGS AND IM QUITE A HARSH GRADER. NO 'VISUAL GRADINGS, NO 'GOOD CONDITION FOR AGE' TRASHED COPIES. FROM A PET AND SMOKE FREE HOUSE.
NO EXTRA FEE FOR 1-2 LPS MAKING POSTAGE BETTER VALUE (PLEASE REQUEST COMBINED POSTAGE BEFORE PAYING).
I WILL NOT POST OUTSIDE OF THE UK.
I ONLY SEND VIA SIGNED FOR POSTAGE
I combine postage, no extra postage for 1-2 albums then £1 extra and will only send signed for
