Vinyl Condition/Sound Fidelity
This vinyl is in excellent condition, has great sound/fidelity, and to my knowledge has no scratches/pops. These 2 (two) LPs were made in Germany by the boutique and high-quality Aggressive Rock Produktionen label, a division of Modern Music, and of course the vinyl provides the highest acoustic quality -- both albums' vinyl is near mint (NM). I have always taken meticulous care of my albums, handling them with utmost care, cleaning them with the finest, gentlest brushes and anti-static products. My albums were always stored in specially-gentle, anti-abrasive, anti-static sleeves. Nonetheless, understand that vinyl is very delicate, and is temperamental to handling and even dust in the air.

Outer/Inner Sleeve Condition
The outer sleeve has excellent reflectivity. There is some minor wear -- corner blunting, edge wear, and a few small creases. The inner sleeve has excellent reflectivity, but has a little off-white to beige aging.

Story Behind the Music
From Discogs:

"Zen Arcade" is, without a doubt, one of best albums to come out of the 80s. Its a conceptual masterpiece, dealing with the life of frustrated youth leaving his home who is uncertain about the future. Sonically, its a mix of tape experiments, rough punk/hardcore numbers and acoustic performances, as well - rather unusual for the time when it was released. Tragically, Husker Du were largely misunderstood by larger public which, at that time, was choosing either pre-packaged new wave or hair metal acts as their heroes. At the same time, "Zen Arcade" didn't fit into hardcore/punk ethos either, due to being a multi-dimensional and bizarre affair. While it was ignored upon its initial release, it doesn't say much about the record itself - its a powerful album, which was years ahead of many records released in the mid to late 80s.
