REGARDING THIS ITEM:
The cardboard cover looks VERY GOOD and is AUTOGRAPHED FROM THE MID 1980S at a concert at the University of Maryland...there's a small cut on the top indicating promo or cut-out ~ stored upright in outer protective plastic....see pictures. 
The vinyl looks VERY GOOD - NEAR NEW...no warpage, fingerprints, obvious scratches....should play great but with vinyl I can't guarantee you won't hear imperfections on your system and I don't own a turntable!

 Album Notes
The Jam: Paul Weller (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, piano, harmonica); Bruce Foxton (vocals, bass); Rick Buckler (drums, percussion).

J&R Exclusive
After the success of their first two albums (IN THE CITY and THIS IS THE MODERN WORLD) within the span of barely a year-and-a-half, the Jam was not as pleased as it should have been. They had been extremely successful, but clearly the band (especially Weller), was chafing at being pigeonholed as "mod" revivalists. While the Jam's first two albums were clearly influenced by the mod movement of the early '60s, Weller was far too clever a songwriter to stick to the limitations of any one genre. ALL MOD CONS is the sound not just of an English youth movement, but of an English musical tradition of literate songcraft epitomized by writers such as Ray Davies of the Kinks, whose classic song "David Watts" is covered here.
Weller's usual bombast is herein subsumed by gentler, more rhapsodic concerns, and he even manages a credibly gentle love balled in "English Rose." Of course the band still offers its share of unadulterated "rock" songs, but on ALL THE MOD CONS the lyrics are more likely to address the problems of English racism ("Down In The Tube Station At Midnight") than simple boy-girl dilemmas. This album marks the maturation of a brilliant songwriter.

Editorial Reviews
Ranked #50 in Q's 100 Greatest British Albums - ...The past met the present on ALL MOD CONS and the sparks flew in a white-hot Rickenbacker fusion of punk, pop, psychedelia and R&B....this LP is driven by anger...
Q (06/01/2000)

...ALL MOD CONS remains Weller's finest hour...full of infectious energy and masterful songwriting: a post-punk classic...
Alternative Press (05/01/2001)

[I]t plays like a book of really good short stories.
Magnet

5 stars out of 5 -- ALL MOD CONS encapsulated life in dull mid-'70s suburbia with sharp, faintly surreal character songs...
Mojo

Ranked #8 in Q Magazine's 10 Essential Reissues Of 2006.
Q

4 stars out of 5 -- [The album] marks the point of Weller's artistic blooming....Weller had broken free of the pack and secured The Jam's future.

ORDERING NOTES:

• Please note the discount on combined orders and check out additional items.  For Records, only $1.00 each additional CD shipped at the same time domestically ($2.50 internationally).  Note:  I'm estimating each album with the strong, cardboard box to be around 14 ounces.  First class overseas costs me $10.76!  Add on the cost of the package, printing, etc. and I'm breaking even on international postage.  Domestically, first class is only good up to 13 ounces, so items over that will be shipped media mail, unless you pick the more expensive Priority mail option.
