An Untouched Time Capsule of Hair Metal Royalty

For the discerning collector who demands nothing less than perfection: up for auction/sale is an original 1989 US first pressing of Mötley Crüe’s magnum opus, Dr. Feelgood, preserved in its original factory shrink wrap.

Produced by Bob Rock at Little Mountain Sound Studios and mastered at Sterling Sound, this is the definitive hard rock album that conquered the Billboard 200 with thunderous analog punch, raw swagger, and zero filler. By late 1989, vinyl production was already being phased down in favor of cassettes and emerging CDs, making pristine, untouched original vinyl pressings from this pivotal transition era exceptionally scarce.

Trapped inside this 35-year-old seal is a pristine, unplayed, pitch-black vinyl record untouched by human hands, free from spindle trails, paper scuffs, or playback wear.
