This copy is from the first U.S. 1981, pressing. The vinyl is translucent brown when held up to a light, and the album cover and inner sleeve both have textured surfaces. This copy is in overall VG+ condition, playing with only very minor surface noise distraction over 99.9% of the album. Overall, a very enjoyable listen.

The only reason I am not rating the condition higher is due to a few brief moments of noticeable surface noise noted below:

Atrocity Exhibition -
Some crackles during first 15 sec. and 4 clicks over a 5 sec. span starting at 4min.15sec. (quiet passage)

Passover
Crackles during the last 15 sec. (quiet passage)

Heart and Soul
Light crackles during first 60 sec.

The Eternal
Crackles for 10 sec. starting at 3min 20 sec.

Other than the brief moments of surface noise noted, the album sounds excellent.

This album is from my personal collection and has been VPI cleaned.

The vinyl and jacket will be shipped in high quality protective sleeves and
sturdy cardboard LP mailer.

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for looking!
