Pizzicato Five Made In USA Vinyl Matador 1994 US Debut LP OG First Edition

It took me until 1995 to hear this one, but it was a bit of a revelation! 
Bought at the fancy record store in downtown Minneapolis, this vinyl has been with me for holy cow basically 30 years now, but it plays great (see full details below or contact me with questions) with no blemishes on its surfaces. 
Now look, the inner sleeve with all its memorable photography / design is surprisingly flimsy. You'll feel like you want to be gentle lest the edges explode all at once and launch your treasured OG vinyl edition of the first-ever US full album by Pizzicato Five (and still credited as a trio at this point) right out onto the street. Also you'll see in this listing's photos that the bottom crease of the sleeve shows the black rubbed away in pinpoint-sized spots. I mean, the sleeve has been stored in the main cardboard sleeve - itself in the original cellophane wrap with original bar code sticker - and exposed to minimal use. So maybe slip it into a paper inner sleeve if that's a concern. 
The outer cardboard sleeve is still in its original cellophane wrap, as stated above, but about a half-inch of it is exposed by the slackening of the outer cellophane over time. This strip is just slightly faded or discolored - barely noticeable from 8 inches away. 
This release may have done well upon initial release because another US-only full-length compilation followed, The Sound of Music by Pizzicato Five. More stuff to know about this piece:
