Nina Hagen Nunsexmonkrock Vinyl LP - Columbia PC 38008 VG++ First Pressing (1982)
Condition: VG++ (EX) Vinyl and VG++ (EX) Cover. Excellent copy overall, vinyl was play-tested on both sides and plays really well throughout. Cover has great color and no splits or writing -- just one small corner ding.
NunSexMonkRock is the debut solo (and third overall) studio album by German singer Nina Hagen. It was released on June 12, 1982 by CBS Records. NunSexMonkRock marked Hagen's first release since her departure from the Nina Hagen Band, and was also her first album with all songs performed in English.
The album takes its title from the lines "Let's do the nun sex monk rock" featured in the outro of "Dread Love", the album's fourth track. On the album cover, Hagen is shown holding her daughter Cosma Shiva in a homage to Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus, an act that was perceived as mockery by the contemporary press, which defined Hagen as blasphemous. Hagen would later clarify her position on faith, being baptized in 2009 and pointing out Nunsexmonkrock lyrics as showing "I've always struggled and preached in the name of love, in the name of Jesus Christ and not just since my Christening."

_____________________________________________

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.

MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.

NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects. 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear. 

VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits. 

GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.

GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
