Japan: Tin Drum 1981 Vinyl LP (NEAR MINT CONDITION) UK 1st Press With Poster

Description

Japan - Tin Drum UK LP First Pressing WITH POSTER. 
This record/ sleeve/ poster are in NEAR MINT condition (ON VISUAL INSPECTION BOTH LOOK NEW). 
Please note that most LPs at that time were not sold sealed in shrink-wrap. And a factory-sealed copy is the ONLY time I would grade an LP as MINT.
I purchased this album on release in 1981, and put in storage (as I did with all my LPs at that time) with polythene outer sleeve. Virgin paper inner sleeve was replaced by a polylined sleeve to protect the vinyl. 
Poster is exactly as it was folded inside the album cover, no pin holes, and only a minuscule fold at one corner, which looks as if it has been there since new.
To find an original pressing of this record (with poster) in this kind of condition, at this time, is now very rare - as any serious collector of the recorded works of Japan will appreciate.
This original pressing is one manufactured by CBS in the UK (as all Virgin LPs were at that point). A much more superior sound quality and lifespan to the EMI pressed reissues which appeared later. 
Serious offers will be considered, but please be aware that I’m pricing this item favourably when compared with other similar items.
I am more than happy to supply additional photos, and welcome any enquiries you may have.
Happy collecting!
Andy
