Description
This is MOTHER LOVE BONE with the LP Apple. This is the original 1990 Dutch pressing as released in the U.K.
A couple of general points I'd like to make first - in 1990, record companies were succeeding in getting people to turn to CD and away from vinyl. Consequently, they began pressing records using thin, inferior vinyl (this is historical fact - my original copy of The Stone Roses LP from 1989 is like a flexi-disc, especially when compared to the recent 180g pressing); it's well-known that some brand new releases from that time often played badly and sounded as if, err...this was a deliberate ploy on the part of the record companies to get the punters to turn to CD. As if
Low-quality card was often used for the sleeves, again to get us to turn to CD. This was especially true of releases by new bands or bands that didn't have a big following, like Mother Love Bone! Which brings me on to...
The vinyl on this is very lightweight and the sleeve is flimsy (for reasons why, see above). However...
The disc has only a few light surface marks and remains clean and shiny overall. The grading is visual only; I have never played it (although I might if anyone wants a sonic appraisal - first come, first served).
The sleeve has light ring-wear and corner-wear plus edge creasing - nothing serious though. There's no writing, no rips etc. It's 28 years old now, this release, and on fairly low-quality card stock.
The inner is a plain white paper one
